At the site of the historic iron foundry in Schleswig Holstein, a prestigious international art exhibition NordArt has developed into one of the largest annual contemporary art shows in Europe in less than a quarter of a century. Hundreds of artworks from all over the world will collaborate once more to form a collective narrative that maps the current dreams and concerns of humanity. From 3 June to 8 October 2023, NordArt will host the curated works by 200 artists. With its foundry halls, Wagenremise (coach house) and expansive sculpture park, the Kunstwerk Carlshütte presents a unique atmosphere which allows intimate contact with the art and, remarkably, leads the works of art into conversation with each other and the visitors. Wolfgang Gramm, the Principal Curator of NordArt sums it up: „Art seeks answers to everything that rouses and touches people, while people seek answers in art.“ One of NordArt‘s trademarks is contemporary art from China. Long-standing contacts with the Chinese art scene have repeatedly allowed the presentation of esteemed artists from China. Among others, works by YUE Minjun, XIANG Jing and ZHOU Song can be enjoyed this year.
