Dorte Dahlin, visual artist, founder and general co-ordinator of Nomad Academy Copenhagen, was born 1955, lives and works in Copenhagen. She was educated at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts between 1978-82 and became one of the central figures in the break-through of New Image/Wild Painting in Denmark. She is represented at many Danish art museums and in private collections and has received several grants. The past 10 years she has been working in the field of site-specific art, sculpting in public spaces in all aspects of the word.
In 1992 Dorte Dahlin worked as an Assistant Professor for architect Daniel Libeskind during the workshop An Observatory of Premonition at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, touching the future of Copenhagen. Dorte Dahlin was a member of the Committee for Art in Public Space, dealing with Art, democracy and the public space, Royal Academy Council 1996-2000.
As a transnational cultural player and developer, Dorte Dahlin participated and initiated several projects. Dahlin curated (and participated in) the major cultural event Overlaps. North-Southeast, at the Sharjah Art Museum, United Arab Emirates, in 2000. This led to Dahlin becoming an official Danish curator and provided the opportunity to introduce 'Superflex' by Moonchannel; an internet based tv-studio at the Sharjah V. International Biennial, 2001. These projects compelled the Danish Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Culture to draw up a cultural exchange project between Denmark and Sharjah, later named the NOMAD ACADEMY - the project headed by Dorte Dahlin and former Rector, Dr. Phil. Else Marie Bukdahl, The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. NOMAD ACADEMY is at the moment being widened to include also brances in Island, China and Spain.
