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 created to an art-academy that provides all the best for motivated international art students. Here they will be able to work and live in a short period of time (four and a half weeks) in an isolated setting. The exciting place to do so was found in a vast, deserted clinic in Beelitz Heilstaetten, 40 km. south of Berlin, Germany.

Selcuk Eroglu completed the EEA program by finally taking part in the “By the Dozen“ closing exhibition with all the other participants on September 2014.
