14.Juni – 6.September 2015
“In a nutshell, OpenART is Scandinavia’s biggest public art biennial, running for twelve weeks in the city of Örebro in Sweden. The project started in 2008 at the city-run art gallery, where the then Head of the gallery, Mats Nilsson and artist Lars Jonnson came up with the idea to showcase contemporary art in public locations. Contemporary art would be available for everyone – a whole new concept in the city, which would see some of the world’s most exciting artworks showcased outside the traditional norms of elitist art. The admission to the biennial, as well as the participation in collateral events is free.”
