An experienced art advisor, writer and curatorial project manager with a demonstrated history of working in the contemporary art industry across continents.
Sascha Gianella has extensive experience and knowledge of all genres including photography, painting, the moving image, sculpture, installation, drawing, print-making and conceptual based practices and 30 years experience sourcing and commissioning Australian Indigenous art.
She is a strong industry professional with 9 years of tertiary education in art history, french and sociology from the University of NSW and post graduate studies in Arts Management from the University of Technology, Sydney. Three decades in the industry working with artists in commercial galleries, national and state institutions, and as an advisor and independent curator with projects and clients in Australia, UK, US, France, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Switzerland.
In 2020 Sascha founded the independent global platform We, The Muse, which conducts on-going research on strategies that support and advocate for artists with collectors, curators, institutions, and organisational partners - identifying, securing, and structuring meaningful collaborations, commissions, and projects.
She has also spent her entire career volunteering in not-for-profit arts organisations dedicated to fundraising artwork acquisitions and furthering the careers of artists including aparté. Her projects have always demanded the fostering of each and every artist she work with, and as such, naturally a major part of her work is providing professional development advice and resources to select practicing visual artists.
