| About: | |
Ronald Kiwitt is an art historian of East Asian art and a sinologist. He studied in Berlin and Beijing. Internships at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice and the National Art Museum of China (NAMoC) in Beijing served as an introduction to networking in the international museum and gallery landscape. During his stay of several years in China, he worked from 2010 to 2012 as director of the Alexander Ochs Gallery in Beijing, which gave him his first direct insight into the flourishing contemporary art scene. At the HOW Art museum in Shanghai, he acted as an artistic advisor and curator (2012-2014). Together with Yun Chaegab (尹在甲) he was largely involved in the acquisition of a large Beuys collection for the HOW Art Museum collection, which was presented for the first time in Beijing in 2013 under the title "Beuys in China". In the years that followed, Kiwitt worked for the auction house Christie's and was involved in establishing the new representative office in Shanghai. In 2017, Kiwitt returned to Berlin, where he taught courses on the contemporary art scene in China at the Department of East Asian Art History at Free University Berlin. Since 2020, Kiwitt has been working as head of the art department at the Confucius Institute in Nuremberg-Erlangen (德国纽伦堡-埃尔兰根孔子学院艺术主管)where he is responsible for the institute's art gallery (Kunstraum). The art gallery aims to offer young positions of international contemporary art a platform for academic and artistic exchange and an artist residency. With annually 4 curated exhibitions, Ronald Kiwitt brings new positions of the international art scene to the Nuremberg/ Bavarian region. |
