Head2Head

HEAD2HEAD is a visual art festival connecting the two dynamic and ever-expanding art scenes of Athens and Reykjavik. The project aims to create fertile ground for the two art scenes to connect, build bridges and networks through an artistic dialog and exhibition exchange. The two art scenes share the particular culture of a thriving artist-run community that works as a driving force, fuelling a dynamic and vibrant art scene. Connecting these two kindred art scenes are the artist-run A – DASH (GR) and Kling & Bang (IS) collaborating with 11 artist-run spaces in Athens showcasing the works of 45 Greek and Iceland-based artists. HEAD2HEAD Athens is the first phase of a bilateral visual art festival. The second phase of the project takes place in Reykjavík in 2023, bringing Athens-based artists to Reykjavík with a parallel exhibition program in various artist-run exhibition spaces in Reykjavík.
