Exhibition exchange project between the Art Department des Goldsmiths, University of London and HFBK Hamburg

In 2010, an exhibition exchange took place between the Goldsmiths and the HFBK. It was organized by Roman Liška, a student of both universities. Ten Goldsmiths students and eleven HFBK students exhibited in each others’ universities and in bars in each other’s cities, stayed at each others’ houses and supported each other, and got to know each others’ university systems.

This very successful exchange project has been extended as a regular cooperative event: Both universities send a group of up to 10 students to the other university once a year. The visiting students will stay with the resident students taking part in the programme. An exhibition of the visiting students’ work – lasting perhaps three days – will be held on the premises of the host university. The exchange programme also includes group tutorials with professors and tutors of the host university. Travel costs are covered by the visitors’ own university.
