Adrian von Roques, Karin |
| |
Education: Painting, stage and costume design, Academy of Fine Arts,
Berlin-History of Islamic and European art, Rheinische
Friedrich Wilhelm University, Bonn, Institute of Oriental Art.-Languages: German (mother tongue), English, French and Italian
(fluient), Spanish, Arabic and Persian (intermediate).
For the past twelve years Karin hasbeen giving focus on modern and contemporary art from the Arab world. She has been
acknowledged the pioneer in the academic exploration
in this field. She has a depth and perspective in this now rapidly emerging art scene. Ten years ago, her academic research included a poll
amongst the leading gallery owners on different art
fairs like Art Basel, Art Cologne or Flac in Paris. The question was why the galleries do not represent Arab artists in their
programme. The survey revealed the dilemma facing
modern and contemporary Arab art. She started to develop exhibition concepts to introduce ARab artists throug museum shows and gallery
exhibition to broader public. At the same time, she
had an increasing interest in intercultural dialogue. Her projects in the coming years will combine curatorial excellence in art
and associated cultural programmes. |
