No Man’s Art Pop-up Gallery Exhibition

Who doesn’t enjoy a good secret? It just makes everything so much more exciting. No Man’s Art Gallery came up with an amazing idea to please the crowd by not letting them know before hand where the opening of the pop-up gallery will take place. For their eighth international No Man’s Art Pop-up Gallery exhibition opening they have traveled all around the world to show you a personal selected collection of artworks by a variety of artist form different countries. Last night was their opening and BLEND\BUREAUX went to check it out and even got some exclusive footage which we will post later on.

No Man’s Art Gallery was founded by creative mind Emelie Koster. After graduating her law study with cum laude and a second study in Law and Economics she felt the need to satisfy her curiosity for creativity and different cultures in the art industry. That’s when she decided after having started a job at a criminal law firm that she wanted to take a different approach and open a gallery which resulted in the No Man’s Art Gallery. After having less of a success with her first NMAG opening back in 2010 her later international exhibition openings went on to become a huge success. And after deciding NMAG was going to be a full-time job in 2012 her passion was unstoppable and after only 2 months of hard work, her motivation paid off and she received the prestigious Communication Award.

No Man’s Art Pop-up Gallery opening in Rotterdam features international artists such as Aixia Li | Blikkiesdorp Photography Contest | Bertrand Peyrot | CUSS Group | Dharavi Photography Contest | Isabel Mertz | Julie Nymann | Lehlogonolo Mashaba | Lindokuhle Sobhekwa | Maxim Santalov | Mette Colberg | Mia Chaplin | Mongezi Ncaphayi | Nicolene van der Walt | Roman Asmus | Themba Khumalo | Qun Ying | Xia Xiaoli | Zhang Jifeng | Zwelethu Machepha.
And for the duchies they selected Mattijn Franssen | Simone Engelen | Margriet van Breevoort | Bob van Waardenburg | Klaas Jonkman | Tja Ling Hu | Daniel Martin.
These artists are working in different mediums which makes this exhibition something out of the ordinary and creates a place of creativity with no boundaries nor restrictions. Each and everyone of these artist is being recognized for their individual artistic abilities.

After a successful opening night yesterday-evening the exhibition will be open to public from May 29th till June 7th, everyday at … we’re finally able to tell you: the Coolsingel 119, 3012 AG Rotterdam.
