Contemporary Art Norwich 2009
11 July - 31 August 2009, Norwich
CAN09 transforms the East of England into a centre for visual art
The East of England shakes up the visual art world this summer with an exhilarating range of international artists from Louise Bourgeois and Marc Quinn to Mariano Pensotti and Matthew Darbyshire, in a celebration of contemporary visual art.
Contemporary Art Norwich (CAN09), delivered for the first time by Norfolk & Norwich Festival, will stage exhibitions, performances, residencies, commissions, site specific, large-scale live art events and urban interventions. CAN09 launches on 11 July with the opening of the highly acclaimed EASTinternational 2009 and runs throughout the summer bringing over 100 artists from across Europe and the world to Norwich.
The seven CAN09 partners are Norfolk & Norwich Festival, EASTinternational, Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts, Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery, Norwich Arts Centre, OUTPOST Gallery and Norfolk Contemporary Art Society.
Supported by Arts Council England East, Norwich City Council and Norwich University College of the Arts.
