The Alligator and the Bird

Our focus is on building a network and sharing skills and experiences, leading to tangible outcomes. This process mirrors the symbiotic relationship between an alligator and a bird, where each benefits from the other's presence.
The exhibition is structured to showcase newly formed duos- Clara Schweers & Emilija PovilanskaitÄ—, Dirk Duif & Sho Ota, Paul Coenen & Lena Winterink, Teun Zwets & Pepijn Fabius Clovis, Yen Hsu & Hsin Min Chan, Jiin Yoon & Hannah Kuhlmann, Athanasios Paspaliaris & Eunsol Kim, Pyeori Jung & Delphine Lejeune, Tim Teven & Flora Lechner - highlighting their exploration of differences and common affinities through expressive pieces.
