Ausstellung in Shanghai
Am 20. März 2010 startet Farbwerte eine längere Projektreihe mit einer Ausstellungseröffnung in Shanghai. Um die Farbwerte-Thematik weiter zu dynamisieren werden im Rahmen dieser Ausstellung Protagonisten, Künstler und Designer aus China in das Projekt eingebunden. D.h. Designer und Künstler aus China erhalten die deutsche Flagge, um sich inhaltlich und kreativ damit auseinander zu setzen. Darüber hinaus werden wir vor Ort Protagonisten mit der deutschen Flagge fotografieren.
Die Galerie, in der wir mit der Ausstellung zu Gast sind liegt auf dem Areal des M50. Es ist ein ehemaliges Industriegelände und mit über 100 ansässigen Künstlern und vielen Galerien und Studios das größte Künstlerviertel Shanghais. Ein großer Dank geht schon jetzt an unseren Partner Tilman Thürmer von Coordination Berlin, der mit seiner Firma vor Ort sitzt und die Ausstellungsfläche organisiert hat.
