Focus Young Art. Bremen 2017

For many decades, the Jürgen Ponto Stiftung has promoted artistic talent in Germany. Since 2011, it directly supports talented artists away from metropolitan centres in a different region each year.
Through this program four artists from Bremen and its surroundings will present their work in the Kunsthalle Bremen. The selected artists are: Amina Brotz (*1986, Henstedt-Ulzburg), Conor Eric Gilligan (*1981, Friedberg), Matthias Ruthenberg (*1984, Berlin) and Michael Schmid (*1981, Langenau).

In the first place artists were proposed by experts from the city and the region. From these applicants, the jury nominated four artists to present their works in the exhibition. Jury members are Prof. Dr. Christoph Grunenberg (Director of the Kunsthalle Bremen), Karin Hollweg (Bremen collector and patroness of young artists) and Ingrid Mössinger (member of the Board of Trustees for the Jürgen Ponto-Stiftung, Director of the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz).

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue.
