IFAA Contemporary Art gallery; Hommelseweg 66-68, 6828 AL Arnhem (Open for public from: 08-12-2008 until 05 -01-2009)

The IFAA contemporary gallery was the center of all Art in Public space projects. This brilliant 10 roomed gallery space was sponsored by Volkshuisvesting as a temporary exhibitions space for the IFAA project. As part of the Art in Public Space projects, working in Shopping Malls and other public spaces was ideal for IFAA as it was done to purposely have direct contact with diverse audiences.

Eke, LUX Nijmegen, for the installation of Bright U. Eke and Rob Sweere, Essent Building with the installation of Rob Sweere. Most of the Public space projects were shown for the longest time at the IFAA Temporary Art Gallery in Arnhem.
