Visual identity and 25 different billboards for 25 artists in 25 museums in 25 cities for the KUNSTSTIFTUNG NRW / Arts Foundation of North Rhine-Westphalia’s special project on the occasion its 25-years jubilee.
 
The foundation celebrates this event by inviting 25 artists to produce a work inspired by one of 25 selected museums. More background info on my blog.

The participating museums were selected by a committee of art critics Astrid Mania (freelance critic), Dominikus Müller (Frieze) and Antje Stahl (Monopol), on the basis of the stringency of each museum’s exhibition programme and how the museum relates to contemporary art.
 
The artists were nominated and invited by an international committee of experts: Lorenzo Benedetti (Director Vleeshal, Middelburg), Dr. Yilmaz Dziewior (Director Kunsthaus Bregenz), Prof. Georg Imdahl (Kunstakademie Münster and art critic), Thibaut de Ruyter (exhibition designer and art critic), Prof. Katharina Sieverding (Universität der Künste Berlin), Adam Szymczyk (Director Kunsthalle Basel, Artistic Director of Documenta 14).
 
Special thanks to: Stephanie Seidel, Barbara Könches, Ursula Sinnreich, Lydia Glup, Dan Solbach.
