Contemporary art exhibition unfolds in Büdelsdorf, Germany at NordArt
Experience a Spectacle of Contemporary Art in Büdelsdorf's Historic Foundry
Prepare for a sensory extravaganza as the NordArt exhibition opens its gates once more, transforming the historic Carlshütte iron foundry in Büdelsdorf into a canvas for modern art. The exhibition runs from June 6 to October 5, 2025, unveiling an array of thought-provoking and breathtaking pieces created by over 200 artists from around the globe.
As the sun rises on the exhibition's opening day, the NordArt team, including Principal Curator Wolfgang Gramm, Senior Curator Inga Aru, and Curator Taso Gramm, will introduce a kaleidoscope of contemporary art installations, sculptures, paintings, and mixed-media creations. From the minute details of a Bardiglio (Carrara marble) masterpiece named "Apollon"[3] to the monumental six-meter-tall bronze sculpture "The Walking Man" by Su Xinping[1], every work curves and swirls within the vast, interconnected spaces of the foundry halls and the eight-hectare sculpture park.
Enter the exhibition's East Asian segment, where the Japanese exhibition "DO / d a t _ code" presents the ideas of 39 artists[1]. Among these, take a moment to ponder the significance of 22 Chinese artists' works, like Yin Xiuzhen's installations "Tower of Sound" and "Contemplative Thinking," or appreciate Su Xinping's allegorical "The Walking Man," embodying the dynamism of modern China.
Beyond East Asia, the exhibition invites visitors to explore contemporary art from Poland, Mongolia, and Chile. Learn the artistic nuances of these countries, encapsulated in the mosaic that paints a vibrant picture of our collective cultural heritage, as articulated by Landtag President Kristina Herbst (CDU)[1].
Spread across nearly 22,000 square meters, the exhibition weaves together various elements of modern art, provoking thoughts, sparking emotions, and fostering discussions. NordArt 2025 is more than just an art exhibition; it's a unique experience that transcends borders.
The Exhibition's distinguished lineage includes prestigious awards such as the NordArt Prize and Public Choice Award, recognizing exceptional contributions to contemporary art[1]. With a new crop of potential winners, this year's event promises to be as engaging and inspiring as ever.
