The European Exchange Academy (EEA) was founded in 2003 as an answer to the growing incapability of regular European art academies. The EEA wants to create the best conditions for artists of the future. The insufficient educational structures at art schools, the short time teachers can talk with a student, the very short time students can study in general, all these evolutions need counterweight. The EEA is an art-academy that provides all the best for motivated international art students.

EEA 2015 brought together students from universities in Turkey, Norway, The Netherlands, Iceland, Finland, and the UK, for 2 weeks residency in Dale i Sunnfjord, Norway.

Since participating in the European Exchange Academy, one of the only ways the participants can keep in touch is via the internet and specifically, laptops. May it be social media, skype or emailing. The premise of the show is using the network laden theoretical and physical form of the laptop as a method to display and to activate artworks. The laptop seen as a conduit for digitalised art, a vessel for communication.

I miss you forever and ever Norway xoxo is an exhibition curated by Helena Kate Whittingham of 14 participants of the European Exchange Academy (Norway) 2015.
