France is focus country at the NordArt

Since 1999, the NordArt has established itself as one of the largest exhibitions of contemporary art in Europe which takes place annually in the summer months. The NordArt is an overall work of art in its own right and is designed as such each year. More than 200 international artists, selected by a jury among 3000 candidates, present a comprehensive panorama of contemporary art. Chief curator of the NordArt is Wolfgang Gramm, Co-Curator is Inga Aru.

 I am proud to say that under my initiativ, this year’s Focus Country is France, with its own pavillon and under the patronage of the Ambassador of the French Republic to Germany, her Excellency Anne-Marie Descôtes. I am also delighted to have been appointed by the jury to participate in this major European exhibition that takes place in Büdelsdorf in the Land of Schleswig-Holstein, not far from Hamburg.
