VERY CONTEMPORARY

Projectmanager & Fundraising 2013 - 2019

The partners of VERY CONTEMPORARY relate to each other through the language of contemporary art. The border region of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany is their training ground. VERY CONTEMPORARY is a tri-national, cross-border network that organizes itself to learn from each other by exchanging knowledge. Within its dynamic infrastructure tools and projects are developed to connect audiences and link art to other domains including science, technology and ecology. VERY CONTEMPORARY contributes to the development of the Meuse-Rhine Euregion as an international centre of expertise in the field of contemporary art.

For my Master Management von Kultur- und Non-Profit-Organisationen at the Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau I wrote a term paper, in German, about “Grenzüberschreitende Kulturentwicklungsplanung am Beispiel des Very Contemporary-Netzwerks” including an analysis of challenges and recommendations for sustainable trinational cooperation.
