"Ultramar" is the name of a cooperative project of artists from the Spanish island La Palma and the Dutch city of Zoetermeer. The project has begun with an exposition of six artists from La Palma in Zoetermeer in 1996. One year later eight artists from Zoetermeer have shown their works on the island La Palma. During the subsequent years alternately expositions of this kind have taken place at both locations. 
The project has been inaugurated and organized by Friederike Kimmerle who is living partly on La Palma and partly in Zoetermeer. She has done this in connection with the Foundation for Intercultural Philosophy and Art in Zoetermeer.

Here we present the pictures of the Catalogues of both groups of artists. 
In the Catalogue of the La Palma-group a short text in English is published which describes the whole enterprise of Ultramar:
The project was founded in 1995 on the island of La Palma and in the city of Zoetermeer. It joins artists from different nationalities with the common link of expressing themselves through art. In these seven years, artists from the Canary Islands have travelled to Holland to show their works there. And they [the Dutch artists from Zoetermeer and environment] have visited us, too. We are not joined by a common style of art. On the contrary, the diversity of forms that we use to express artistically ourselves is what enriches and encourages us to carry on.
