DUSSELDORF.- Anna Laudel announced the opening of its second location, featuring a four-story gallery space situated in a historic building in Dsseldorf, Germany.
Aiming to promote emerging Turkish and international artists, Anna Laudel in Dsseldorf launched with an inaugural Housewarming exhibition showcasing works by Belkıs Balpınar, Ruth Biller, Flra Borsi, Ramazan Can, Tuğe Diri, Bilal Hakan Karakaya, Ekin Su Ko, Serkan Kkzc, Ardan zmenoğlu, Gazi Sansoy, Daniele Sigalot, Brigitte Spiegeler and Sarp Kerem Yavuz.
The new gallery is located in Mhlenstrasse 1 which has served as a hub for artists and cultural celebrities since 1960s. The building has been a lively gathering spot for well known intellectuals including Joseph Beuys, Carl Barth, Blinky Palermo, Alex Vmel, Alfred Schmela, Gabriele Henkel and Wim Wenders. The new gallery of Anna Laudel will keep its authentic design and charm intact with its variety of exhibition spaces and multidisciplinary exhibitions complemented by a dynamic public programme.
Founded by Anna Laudel, the gallery’s first exhibition space is located in Istanbul’s old finance district of the late Ottoman Empire in Karaky. Dedicated to support artists by providing a prominent contemporary exhibition platform, Anna Laudel aims to expand more internationally with its brand new space in Dsseldorf.
The artists participating in the Housewarming exhibition come from different artistic and cultural backgrounds, in a reflection of the gallery’s commitment to represent emerging talents on international platforms and host interdisciplinary art exhibitions. The exhibition will be on display at Anna Laudel in Dsseldorf until June 29.
Anna Laudel commented: “The new gallery space in Dsseldorf will help us extend our outreach and provide our artists a stronger link with the international art scene. Similar to the mission of Anna Laudel in Istanbul, I would like the gallery in Dsseldorf to support art production, showcase interdisciplinary art exhibitions and host public programming where artists and art lovers could meet and exchange ideas. As well as hosting a dynamic exhibitions programme in both locations, we will keep representing Turkish artists at an international level by showcasing their latest projects at leading international art fairs.”
