Impressions from Beijing

I participated in the summer 2008 in 3rd Beijing international Art Biennale with my artwork „29 positions“ to the theme „Colors and Olympia“. This participation was supported by the Liechtenstein cultural Foundation, Foundation Guido Feger, Centrum Bank and the LGT Bank. I feel honored get the chance to participate at a so great art event.

Beijing Biennale has been prepared for two years, it has sent out the request to more than 100 countries, and received nearly 10,000 materials from all over the world. And more than 700 artworks created by 600 artists from 81 countries were selected and was exhibited in Beijing. All this works were shown in National Art Museum of China and Exhibition Hall of Central Academy of Fine Arts, in addition to the Theme Exhibition of Beijing Biennale, there were simultaneously the Special Exhibition of Contemporary Art of Great Britain, Norway, Mexico and International Prints etc.

Accommodation of all foreign participating artists was in the central convenient 5 stars Beijing hotel so that all of them met daily and exchanged at least when eating or in the evening, after arduous working days. That was for the advancement of the networks and the exchange an enormous meaning.

The host strove to arrange the stay of the artists from all over the world as interesting as possible, then were organized also visits of the monumental Chinese Great Wall and Forbidden City.
