The bilateral exhibition project HEAD2HEAD connects the two dynamic and ever-expanding visual art scenes of Athens and Reykjavik. The project aspires to connect artists and artist-run venues in both cities, building bridges and networks through an artistic dialogue and exhibition exchange. The driving force of these two art scenes is their artist-run community. Both Athens and Reykjavík foster an astounding amount of artist-run initiatives and exhibition spaces that fuel their dynamic and vibrant art scenes; this distinct culture is not typical in a global context and deserves to be celebrated. Thus, the independent platform of A-DASH (GR) is teaming up with the 21-year-old artist-run exhibition space Kling&Bang (ICE) to connect the two artist-run scenes and create this bilateral-exhibition project, connecting and strengthening the relationships between the two cities and their art scenes.
The spaces taking part are: Associate Gallery, Gallery Kannski, Kling & Bang, The Living Art museum, OPEN house in the Nordic House, Phenomenon Artist studio Complex and Gallery, Gallery Underpass and the brand-new space Bókumbók.
