The resourceful European Exchange Academy, promotes invention and initiative in the present cultural and economic climate where both artists and institutions are struggling for survival.
Spanning the boundaries of media, material and nationality, the show presents an exciting and challenging range of approaches, including Amsterdam-based artist Christopher Holloran’s (GB) video dealing with the comedy of language barriers, and Israeli born Avi Krispin’s sedate yet tongue-in-cheek critique of boredom.
Floppelgangers brings together an outlandish array of artists from across Europe, with the opening night involving one off performances and an appropriate slew of mayhem.
The EEA
Every summer the independently organised European Exchange Academy selects participants from institutions around the world, bringing them together in the abandoned hospital buildings of the notorious Beelitz-Heilstätten. 5 weeks of excessively intense art school results in a highly energetic and creative atmosphere, and newly realised, proficient artists capable of creating daring and exciting work. In it’s 8th year, the EEA now includes over 300 international artists.
