Carlshütte Büdelsdorf
NordArt is Europe’s largest juried international art show on the site of the historic iron foundry in Büdelsdorf, Northern Germany. As one of the most notable annual contemporary art exhibitions in Europe, NordArt presents the works of over 200 artists from all corners of the world. NordArt 2022 welcomed visitors from 4 June until 9 October 2022.
What is the purpose of art? Is art a peacemaker between warring ideologies, kind of a non-verbal diplomat? Is it a reflection of our longing for a better world? The revered Principal Curator of NordArt, Wolfgang Gramm, believes that it‘s both. Art seeks answers to everything that inspires and touches humanity, while people find solutions in art.
The impressive backdrop of the iron foundry, the charming historical coach house and expansive sculpture park create a truly unique atmosphere. It allows for a rather distinct way of enjoying the art and initiates a playful dialogue with the visitors and among the works of art themselves. Besides national traditions, experiences and perspectives, one can explore many different approaches to building the future.
