Puddles 2001 Events - Europe / Japan

In 1999, Puddles was started in Japan as an exchange program with European artist organisations. Puddles is more than just presentations of good art; it is discussing the different social functions of art in Japan and Europe. Puddles is fighting bilaterally for the continuity of the non-commercial art network and for an extended cultural exchange. In 2001, ten Japanese artists will come to Europe to present their work, and to learn about the local structures and possible strategies of European artists. In the fall of 2001, three selected Belgian artists will visit Japan as part of the Puddles exchange.

Puddles 2001 in Belgium is produced by Experimental Intermedia Gent
