A new art space in Nuremberg is bringing China closer to the southern German city.
The opening show of works by Chinese and German artists in late October highlighted the venue's role in being a cultural bridge. The space will offer philosophic and artistic perspectives on cultural encounters, said Guenther Beckstein, former state premier of Bavaria and senior advisor to the Confucius Institute of Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, which initiated the art space.
The space represents a new attempt in the Institute's agenda to diversify its educational and cultural offerings, with Chinese language teaching at the core.
