PLAY19

The Freie Akademie der Künste in Hamburg, founded in 1950, is a non-profit consortium of artists. What distinguishes an academy from other associations of artists is its interdisciplinary character: all the arts under one roof – the opportunity to cooperate, to discuss the limits of the individual arts and to transcend them. The academy can thus be stimulant and catalyst, provoke unusual combinations. An academy does not represent individual arts or artists – it represents the claims of art qua art vis-à-vis society and the state.

Only a minute’s walk away from Markthalle, the academy will host PLAY19‘s advanced training courses.
