Inter-broedplaats Olympics

In the inter-broedplaats olympics, teams of artists representing their different initiatives (broedplaatsen) compete against each other in sports based on art practice. 

The event is intended to be a way to get different broedplaatsen together to have fun, get to know each other in a non-professional context, and do it all through spectacularly absurd sports.

Sharing a love and portfolio of seriously playful sports-based artworks, Yun Lee from iii and Gökay Atabek from de Besturing teamed up to create the Inter-broedplaats Olympics, showcasing sports based on elements of art practice, and art based on sports.
In the first ever art olympics in The Hague, five teams of artists representing their art initiatives face off in the following challenges: Slow Bike Race, Cable Relay (Roll, Lay, Gaff), Speed Ironing, Wall Painting, Manual Forklift Obstacle Race.

Each competition has its own award, and the broedplaats with the most wins gets the overall award (a plaque and bragging rights for the rest of the year).
