Martin Rogge
Flatland Gallery is a Dutch contemporary art gallery founded in 1983 by Martin Rogge (1955). The gallery is acclaimed for its international position, especially in the field of contemporary photography and its high reputation for film, video, installations, sculptures and drawings. Martin Rogge has always interested himself in the field of contemporary photography, with artist such as Erwin Olaf who Flatland represents since 1987. Since the early eighties Martin Rogge also experimented with the convergence of art with film, music, video and multimedia installations. For 2011 Martin Rogge is invited by the Valkhof Museum as a guest curator for a groupshow on contemporary photography that leans towards surrealism and photo-art. In 2007 Martin Rogge started the Flatland Foundation to create a vibrant photography collection of museum quality. To achieve this objective the choices made by the Flatland Foundation are based upon the originality, authenticity, artistic appeal and quality of the work of artist photographers.
