Tatiana Cheneviere is the founder of Pipeline, a contemporary art gallery in London that opened in late 2022. With a background that includes seven years at Gagosian, Tatiana brings a balance of institutional professionalism and independent experimentation to her approach. Pipeline focuses on emerging artists and is structured to foster layered, thoughtful practices through both its main exhibition space and the end room "In the Pipeline", where artists introduce a single work ahead of their solo exhibition.

In this brave talk, Tatiana spoke to Kildine de Saint Hilaire about her journey from practicing painting to building a gallery that functions as both studio and exhibition space. She shared her belief in the gallery as a site of creative exploration and discovery, where she and the artists work together in search of something unresolved. She reflected on the importance of visibility, curatorial risk-taking, and developing artist relationships based on trust and mutual respect.

Looking ahead, Tatiana hopes Pipeline will continue to offer space for deeper engagement with artists’ practices. Her vision is for the gallery to serve not only as a platform for exhibition but as a creative tool that invites audiences to think critically, slowly and openly about the work on view.
