ABOUT THE DREAMERS GALLERY
THE DREAMERS GALLERY is a contemporary art and publishing space in Presidio, Texas. Housed in an 8,000-square-foot historic adobe building, the gallery presents exhibitions by international artists whose work engages questions of place, memory, and perception.
Exhibitions, accompanying objects, and art books are conceived together as a single experience. Books and printed matter are integrated throughout the space, reflecting a long relationship to publishing and an interest in sustained attention. Visitors are invited to slow down, connect more deeply with themselves and with one another, and engage emotionally with the work on view.
Art is approached not as information to be consumed, but as an experience to be felt and carried with you.
Presidio and West Texas were chosen deliberately. The Dreamers Gallery was conceived as a destination – a place that requires intention to reach. Distance and landscape create the conditions for attention, allowing visitors to encounter art without the distractions and immediacy of major cultural centers.
Shaped by natural light and the surrounding desert, The Dreamers Gallery positions viewing as an act of reflection informed by time and place.
FOUNDER
Adèle Jancovici (b. Paris, France) is a prize-winning publisher, curator, and writer. She is the founder of the New York–based art publishing company Le Livre Art Publishing (est. 2011), producing books and editions for museums, private foundations, and artists internationally.
Her publishing work has involved collaborations with institutions, galleries, and cultural platforms including Bookmarc, Galerie Christophe Gaillard, and curators affiliated with the Centre Pompidou and Europalia Romania. She has published monographs and archival works by artists such as Julio Le Parc, Xavier Veilhan, and Michel Journiac, as well as the previously unpublished correspondence between Constantin Brancusi and Marcel Duchamp.
As a curator, Jancovici has developed exhibitions across Europe, the United States, and Asia, often working across sound, image, and spatial experience. Her exhibitions have featured artists including Maripol, Paolo Canevari, Robert Longo, Sarah Moon, and John Baldessari.
In 2020, she acquired the historic Herrera Building in Presidio, Texas — an 8,000-square-foot adobe structure now home to The Dreamers Gallery, envisioned as a contemporary art sanctuary rooted in the West Texas desert.
VISITING
