Students from the Missing Identity alternative art academy, the Contemporary Art Institute EXIT in Prishtina, and the Frankfurt Städelschule came together to develop individual art projects, which were then realized in Prishtina and Frankfurt/Main. After the presentation at the Museum of Kosovo, Prishtina earlier this fall, the final presentation of the project now takes place in Portikus im Leinwandhaus, Frankfurt/Main.
The presentation in Portikus brings both aspects of the ACADEMY REMIX together: The Kunsthalle is not only an exhibition space for the artists projects, but also the venue for the ACADEMY REMIX SYMPOSIUM.
The symposium, which is held in English, deals with the methods, models and possibilities for art academies today and tomorrow. The discussion is divided into four main sections.
1) Paradigms in art teaching
2) The artist teacher and the art student
3) The art academy between international exchange and the local
4) What is artistic competence and how is it mediated
