No Man's Art Gallery is the first art gallery to organize pop up galleries in a different country every few months. The gallery describes its purpose to be 'to provide an international platform for young artists'.〔http://www.nomansart.com/No_Mans_Art/About_Us.html〕 The predominantly young artists are recruited in the city of exhibition, and taken along to the next cities when possible. Within three months, No Man's Art sets up a network of artists, art lovers/buyers, press and support. == Background == No Man's Art Gallery was founded in 2010. Since 2010, the organization set up or planned pop up art exhibitions in Rotterdam (2010), Amsterdam, Hamburg, Mumbai, Paris, Copenhagen and Shanghai. The gallery was in the Dutch news in March 2011, when the NRC Handelsblad newspaper revealed the story behind No Man's Art Gallery. In an interview with that newspaper, Emmelie Koster, founder of No Man's Art Gallery, admitted to having invented the gallery to sell her own paintings, which she made out of boredom, using the artist pseudonym 'Bob Koster'. It was only when 'real' artists asked her to feature their work in the gallery that she decided to turn her fake art gallery into a real one and organize pop up exhibitions. In 2012, Koster received the Communication Award for her unique initiative, awarded by the Stichting Hollandse Haringpartij, a prestigious society with members coming from the Dutch royal family, politicians and businessmen, complimenting her on her ability to connect artists and their markets worldwide.〔http://www.hollandseharingpartij.nl/index.php?cms%5BcategoryID%5D=33〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No Man's Art Gallery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
