About
The Line Up promotes contemporary art work across all genres and disciplines. Art has the ability to transcend borders and increase collective awareness, thus creating a new reality.
With this in mind, after graduating in Art History from Columbia University, proceeding with international work in the field, Maria-Anna Messner-Haidenthaler imagined the value of a high-quality adjunct platform to galleries and museums for both emergent and established artists. Something inclusive in approach and exclusive in execution.
Our fluid platform is all about creating new and unique fields of interaction, there by establishing creative networks while strengthening artistic discourse. We believe it is important for artists to connect with one another and via our collaborative projects we offer them visibility.
The Line Up supports the development of these artists by exposing them to international artists in residency programs, curating pop-up art shows in unique off-spaces and providing an extensive network of private and public collectors to the artist.
