Blickachsen got underway in 1997 at the initiative of gallery owner Christian K. Scheffel, who was interested in setting up a contemporary sculpture biennial. Since the second edition (in 1999) each show has been organised in collaboration with a major art centre on the international scene. Past partners have included the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the Beyeler Foundation, and the Kunsthalle Mannheim. This year the exhibition has been curated in association with Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, located in Michigan, USA. Some of the 22 artists who will be participating in Blickachsen 7 are: Masayuki Koorida, Dennis Oppenheim, Beverly Pepper, Jaume Plensa and Zhan Wang. More information and contact
