About German Artist Martin Kippenberger Biography and His Exhibitions at the Saatchi-gallery

As one of the most prodigious artists of the 1980s and 90s, Martin Kippenberger epitomised the romantic notion of the artist in the late 20th century. Inventing himself as the centre of the art world, Martin Kippenberger’s practice was based on shameless self-promotion. Mythologizing himself as an Everyman-hero, Kippenberger's vast body of work is a testament to a larger-than-life character, a tragic-comic paladin, plagued as much by his own talent and success as by his ego and shortcomings.

Martin Kippenberger always went too far. Going too far was what the German artist did, in art and in life. It was said he once bought a dilapidated petrol station in Brazil and renamed it Gas Station Martin Boormann, after the Nazi war criminal. It was also rumoured that he installed a telephone line, with the greeting "Boormann... Gaz" on the answerphone. He certainly had a photograph taken of the service station, which he blew up to wall size for an installation.all his work is that. He wants to really invent and with every piece to make something new and to be real avant-garde. All day long and with all of his heart he really does believe in nothing else but in art. He doesn't define it, his father was an artist, he is an artist and his friends are artists.

An introductory seminar and workshop for teachers working on the EuroMed School Forum took place in Vienna, in May, 2007.

Your corrected version is above. Here are the corrections I made:

Put a Comma between "May" and "2007." the month is always separated fromt he year by a comma as the year is a dependent clause. In the middle of a sentence, the "2007" would be followed by a comma as well.

Removed the unclear passive language from the second sentence. There are so many conflicts in that sentence with tense and active and passive voice, I did the best I could. Also I agree witht he previous poster about using cultural instead of intercultural diversity. The way it's originally worded is redundant.
