artist Ingrid Kamerbeek starts European Tour
Sonthofen
– On August 5th it is
off to Angouléme near Bordeaux at the Atlantic coast in France. There, in
August, takes place the international Art-Exhibition “Art Digital 2003”.
Angouléme
is known as the world capital of comic. Every year in January the city hosts the
International Comic Festival. It is here too where Asterix and Obelix were
“born”.
For Ingrid Kamerbeek the “Art Digital 2003” is the beginning of her European
Tour which leads her to Angouléme as well as Frankfurt, Vienna and. Budapest.
With her French artist colleague Bernard Dumaine she planned and organized the
art show in France. The city of Angouléme offered its large and modern building
for exhibitions and public functions, the “Espace Franquin” in the center of
the city. Mayer Philippe Mattet as well as his cultural consultant will be
present at the opening on August 8th to welcome the artists and to
visit the show. Ingrid Kamerbeek will present him a letter of the city of
Sonthofen by mayor Hubert Buhl. Planned is a cooperation of both cities on a
cultural level.
Apart from Bernard Dumaine and
Ingrid Kamerbeek, other participating artists
will be present at opening: Dr. Hans-Georg
Türstig, who arrives from the USA;
Tibor Kovacs-Egri from Hungary who will come from Budapest with his family; Zazi
(Evi Möchel) and
Uly Paya from Vienna. Besides these, other artists will be
present with their images alone: Parys St. Martin from Australia,
Shankar Barua
from India, Regina Hobein from Germany,
Dieter Grossmann from Germany,
Galina
Lukshina from the Ucraine and Dr. Rodney Chang Pygoya from the USA, who in the
context of his own European Tour will visit Sonthofen together with Ingrid
Kamerbeek on November 5th.
The exhibition in Angouléme will be especially exciting as the artists know
each other only virtually through the Internet. In France they will meet for the
first time face to face.
