What does the term cultural contact mean for nomadic artists and art practitioners? These and other questions about the topic of cultural exchange will be discussed with the artists Peter Dittmar (Germany), Agung Kurniawan (Indonesia) and the art historian Paul Khoo (Singapore).

Peter Dittmar is a German artist who lives between Sydney, Bali and Munich. He came to Indonesia for the first time in 1982 and since then he was fascinated by this country. He understands himself as an artist between different cultures. His current exhibition Windows between Cultures at KUNSTBÜROBERLIN is an extension of his personal artistic view.

For this occasion, we have invited the Indonesian artist Agung Kurniawan, one of the most representatives artists in the art scene in Indonesia. He is director of the art space Kedai Kebun Forum in Yogyakarta. From September 16th , his work will be presented at the exhibition The Global Contemporary – Art Worlds after 1989 at ZKM in Karlsruhe. Furthermore, we have invited the art historian Paul Khoo, who studied at Stanford University, University of Chicago and La Salle College of Arts. Paul is a board member of The Substation, one of the oldest and most progressive art spaces in Singapore.

The event, that will take place during the Asia Pacific Weeks Berlin, is organised by Katerina Valdivia Bruch in collaboration with art & culture international e.V.
