The cooperation “Opening Our Closed Shops”, initiated by the Akademie Schloss Solitude (Stuttgart), a three-year project of six art centers: Akademie Solitude, Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle (Warsaw), József Attila Circle and Agency for Contemporary Art Exchange (Budapest), InterSpace Media Art Centre (Sofia) and Kuda.org (Novi Sad), and at the beginning, Galeria Nouã (Bucharest), as the seventh. Its main aim was to counteract the imbalance of artistic exchange between Eastern and Western European countries. Through artistic excellence and interdisciplinary cooperation, the project was initiated to develop an ongoing dialog, resulting in concrete public projects such as exhibitions, publications, workshops, concerts, and performances. Organized in context of the different national art scenes, the project gives a very modest tribute to the enlargement and openness of the contemporary art world.
