Exhibitions
Love at First Sight
Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts
19 June / 22 August 2010
Love at First Sight is the first exhibition of the FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais made in partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts in Kaohsiung, the second largest city in Taiwan.
On the occasion of the events celebrating the sixteenth anniversary of the museum, the FRAC wished to highlight emblematic works from their collection, from six French artists of different generations: Latifa Echakhch, Laurent Grasso, Bertrand Lavier, Philippe Parreno, Julien Previeux, and Fabien Rigobert. It will be the first time that these artists will be shown in a major exhibition in Taiwan. The confrontation between their works with those of Taiwanese artists will be a ground for exchange and connections, both surprising and powerful.Through this new and welcome experience, the FRAC aims to foster a desire amongst the Taiwanese public to discover and engage with monumental works of contemporary art.

ArtAids
The ArtAids foundation was set up in 2006 at Han Nefkens’ initiative. ArtAids fights AIDS with the power of art as its most important weapon. ArtAids invites leading artists to produce work that is inspired by AIDS and related problems. These works of art are used to raise the public’s consciousness and to encourage their involvement.
Fundació Han Nefkens
The Han Nefkens Foundation is a private non-profit organisation that was set up in Barcelona in 2009 with the aim of promoting the production of contemporary artworks. The mission is to stimulate artistic creation in Barcelona by offering international artists an opportunity to create artworks and interventions in the city, and to promote other fields of contemporary creation.
H+F
Han Nefkens started to collect art in 2000. The H+F Collection, named after himself and his partner Felipe, is in long-term loan to various museums in The Netherlands and abroad. Nowadays Han Nefkens is not only active as a collector but also as an initiator of international art projects, often in collaboration with museums and other art institutions.
