ABOUT No Man's Art Gallery

No Man’s Art Gallery provides an international platform for young artists by organizing pop-up galleries all over the world. Every so many months we take on a different city in a different country, where we find local young artists with great talent. We exhibit their art in the city we find them in and do our best to take their art with us to the next city. Our next exhibition will take place in Oslo, Norway. Previous exhibitions were in Cape Town, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Mumbai, Paris, Copenhagen and Shanghai.

In times of recession and cutbacks on culture, many young artists are being taken away the possibility to even try and make a living of their art. For unestablished artists, opportunities to exhibit are becoming very rare. In developing countries, the arts are often not subsidized at all and the opportunities for artists are very limited to begin with.

At No Man’s Art Gallery we have made it our purpose to help the artists finding their audience, exposing them to an international crowd of art lovers by celebrating the art and artists at pop-up galleries at unconventional locations all over the world.

The name ‘No Man’s Art Gallery’ refers to No Man’s Land, the land that has no laws and no set boundaries. We don’t regard conventions and territorial boundaries to be restrictions. We either willfully ignore them or play with them until they work in our favour. It keeps us innovative and adventurous and allows us to do business in every country and culture.

NMAG was founded by lawyer-turned-curator Emmelie Koster out of a belief that in our current globalized and digitalized society opportunities for young artists need not depend on the economic and cultural context in which they are born. At the same time, she investigates whether we create within a shared global cultural identity. Follow Emmelie and her travels on twitter @EmmelieKoster.
