Witte de With Centre for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam.
As part of the 'Detours' series, The Common Guild presents Nicolaus Schafhausen, who has been Director of the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, since 2006.
In June 2005, he was appointed Founding Director of the European Kunsthalle in Cologne for two years, a project that explores models for a potential institution for contemporary art. The talk will take place at The Trades Hall of Glasgow.
The Trades Hall of Glasgow was designed by Robert Adam in 1791 — 94. The medieval cathedral aside, it is the oldest building in Glasgow still in regular use for its original purpose.
'Detours' is a collaboration with The Glasgow School of Art.
