As part of its move to the AP2 building in Dunkerque in 2012, the FRAC Nord - Pas de Calais organizes and accompanies, in close collaboration with Deweer Gallery (Otegem, Belgium) four exhibitions with the work of Panamarenko in Dunkerque and nearby areas.
The Galerie Robespierre in Grande-Synthe renders a view on the artistic practice of Panamarenko highlighting his ‘Hinky Pinky Prova Car'.The Musée Portaire of Dunkerque presents a fine selection of works that are related to the sea and to the theme of Panamarenko's ‘sea engines'. The Musée du Dessin et de l'Estampe Originale in Gravelines proposes an exhibition around the theme of Panamarenko, the flying man. And last but not least, the FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais, in close collaboration with the City of Dunkerque, exhibits for the very first time outside Panamarenko's native country the monumental and rarely seen pièce de résistance, the ‘Scotch Gambit', on the Charles Valentin Square in Dunkerque from 19 September until 19 October 2009.
