Interdisciplinary cooperation art project between Б’Art and Kunstverein Rosenheim is research through art practice into the similarities and differences of life, art and nature in mountain regions: Issyk-Kul (Kyrgyzstan) and Upper Bavaria (Germany). The project consisted of sending seven artists and a curator into the other land and vice versa, to allow the chance for creating personal contacts between artists. There was the possibility to throw a glance on the “other” with the eyes of an artist and in publishing the results in form of an exhibition in Rosenheim and Bishkek and a catalogue for each group. In April 2010 twenty kyrgyz artists exhibited their contemporary artworks in Rosenheim and seven of them were personally present in Germany. The exhibition of seven Rosenheim artists in Bishkek opened in August in the same year.
