Returning from Quarantine we recognized the urgency and need to support the local art scene as a result of the troubling collapse of much of the support structures due to COVID-19. We responded by launching an Open Call for a CRUEL SUMMER CAMP.
Following the concept of previous Summer Camp (2009-2011), Irregular Reading (2013 & 2016) and last year’s OSIOS projects, we invited local and regional (≠ national) artists to submit their work. Running from mid July to late August, EXILE will give the gallery space to artists to engage and collectively present their work. The resulting format should be as much an exhibiton as also an exchange platform.
We received well over 100 applications and the selection was incredibly difficult due to the many excellent applications and the limited space EXILE can provide. As a result, the jury consisting of Veronika Čechová, Àngels Miralda, and Peter Sit created one exhibition consisting of two connected parts, running from Jul 14-Aug 1 and from Aug 4-22 respectively.
