Peles Duo (formerly Peles Empire) is a collaboration between artists Katharina Stöver (born 1982 in Gießen, Germany) and Barbara Wolff (born 1980 in Făgăraș, Romania) and was founded during their studies at Städelschule in Frankfurt with
Wolfgang Tillmans and
Michael Krebber.
They began their collaboration in 2005 by opening an illegal bar in Frankfurt's red light district. They have been running exhibition spaces as part of their practice in different locations ever since (London, Cluj, Istanbul, Los Angeles, and Berlin since 2016).
