Heike Strelow
Heike Strelow began working as a freelance curator and art mediator in 1995 after completing a Masters degree in art history, history and business law at Friedrich Wilhelm Universität in Bonn.
Since then she has worked as an editor, author and lecturer and has curated exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Heike taught at the Institute for Art Education at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main from 2001 to 2006.
In 2007 she founded Galerie Heike Strelow, which represents contemporary international positions. Since its inception, the gallery’s programme has consisted of an alternation of curated solo and group exhibitions, combining young and emerging with established artists. The gallery values working closely with artists to determine the conditions under which their work will be presented to the public and the market. The individuality of the artist and the diversity of the artworks that result from the expression of this individuality therefore play a central role in the gallery’s programme and policy. Since 2009, Heike has been presenting the artists she represents at art fairs in Germany, Europe and the United States.
Alongside her gallery work, Heike continues to work as a curator, organising exhibitions and developing concepts for works in public spaces. Together with Kerstin Walter, she founded Strelow & Walter Projects in 2018. In addition to classical art consulting, the project focuses on art mediation.
