ASIA POP
18 September 2025 - 23 May 2026
Comics, film, food and much more – East Asian pop culture has become a decisive force in shaping the global mainstream. With ASIA POP, the NRW-Forum presents the first comprehensive exhibition in Germany devoted to this development and its cultural-political, economic and aesthetic influence. From kawaii characters such as Hello Kitty and animated films by Studio Ghibli, to K-pop groups like BTS and games such as Black Myth: Wukong, ASIA POP presents the full breadth of East Asian popular culture. In Düsseldorf, home to Germany’s largest East Asian community, the NRW-Forum presents a visual, sonic and culinary panorama across 1,200 square metres and around 400 works.

DIE GROSSE is Germany's oldest and largest sales exhibition organised entirely by artists. Organised by the VzVvK e.V., it is traditionally held at the Kunstpalast and also at the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf.
It is an important platform for promoting and selling contemporary art in the region. Every summer, works of art from all disciplines are presented in four halls and in the outdoor area. Approximately 180 artists, selected by a rotating jury of experts, participate in the exhibition. To this day, DIE GROSSE remains a reliable reflection of developments in art and is considered a meeting place for professionals in the industry.
The participating artists are selected from numerous applications by a jury that changes annually. Works from the fields of painting, photography, graphic art, sculpture, installation and video are exhibited.
