Novgorod proudly present their latest project, ‘Floppelgangers', a showcase of international contemporary art curated in association with the European Exchange Academy.
Spanning the boundaries of media, material and nationality, the show presents an exciting and challenging range of approaches, including Amsterdam-based artist Christopher Holloran's (GB) video dealing with the comedy of language barriers, and Israeli born Avi Krispin's sedate yet tongue-in-cheek critique of boredom. Belgium based artist Nathalie Vanheule will make a totally new installation in situ with live music played by SX during her performance 'Army of Angels'. In this performance she shows an aspecially created and exciting army of guardian angels for the night of the opening.
Floppelgangers brings together an outlandish array of artists from across Europe, with the opening night involving one off performances and an appropriate slew of mayhem. The participating artists are Inger Alfnes (NOR), Markus Benedikt Becker (DE), Floris Bovee (NL), Ben Fowler (GB), Nathalie Vanheule (BE), Christopher Holloran (GB), Avi Krispin (IL), Steven de Jong (NL) and Dafna Maimon (FI) , Stefan Ruitenbeek (NL), Ollie Salmon (GB), Jack Piers Scott (GB), Fraser Stewart (GB), Sakari Tervo (FI), Philip Tonda Heide (DK) and Samantha Wass (GB)
opening: Friday 16th April, 5.30pm - 9pm
continues: 17th - 25th April, 2pm - 6pm in the old TK Maxx shop, Leeds Shopping Plaza.
