KORNFELD Galerie at NordArt 2026: NordArt
KORNFELD Galerie is pleased to present works by Tamara Kvesitadze, Seong Joon Hong, and Tammam Azzam at NordArt 2026, one of Europe’s largest and most internationally recognized exhibitions of contemporary art.
Held annually at the historic Carlshütte in Schleswig-Holstein, NordArt brings together approximately 200 artists selected from thousands of international applications. Set across expansive industrial halls and a vast sculpture park, the exhibition has become a unique platform for dialogue between cultures, artistic positions, and contemporary perspectives. With more than 100,000 visitors each year, NordArt offers a dynamic environment in which art engages with questions of identity, memory, transformation, and the human condition. Although working in distinct cultural contexts and artistic media, Tamara Kvesitadze, Seong Joon Hong, and Tammam Azzam are united by a shared interest in transformation. Through movement, layering, fragmentation, and reconstruction, each artist investigates how identities are formed, altered, remembered, and reimagined.
TRANSFORMATION AS A SHARED THEME
Although Kvesitadze, Hong, and Azzam work in very different media and cultural traditions, their practices converge around the idea of transformation. Kvesitadze makes transformation visible through movement and physical encounter. Hong approaches it through layers, revealing how memory and identity accumulate over time. Azzam explores transformation through fragmentation and reconstruction, examining how meaning can emerge after rupture and loss. Together, their works offer complementary perspectives on some of the most fundamental aspects of human experience: memory, identity, connection, displacement, and change. They remind us that transformation is never a singular event but an ongoing process—one that continuously shapes the way we understand ourselves and the world around us.
