Crossing the Atlantic: 40 Years of DAAD New York April 19, 2011

As New York City has been historically recognized as an urban hub of cultural exchange, DAAD, the German Academic Exchange Service, facilitates intercultural connections. 'Crossing the Atlantic: 40 Years of DAAD New York' celebrates the accomplishments of DAAD New York as a transatlantic mediator for German and North American artists, students, researchers, and scholars over the past 40 years. This exhibition, which features photography, sculpture, video and mixed media installations, investigates the multi-faceted themes of crossing the Atlantic, relocation and dislocation, reinventing oneself on the other side of the Atlantic, migration and foreignness.
