ARTIST RESIDENCY // Athens
Snehta stands for the name of the city of Athens but written in reverse. The title symbolically suggests that resident artists are to rediscover Athens and furthermore Greece by translating, reading it reversely or alternatively.
The residency aims in creating a dialogue with the social, material, aesthetic and architectural infrastructure of the city by taking into account historical, psycho-geographical, contemporary and traditional factors that have formed it.
Artists are called to use the local dynamics and characteristics of the Athenian environment whilst bringing along their own inherent interests and inclinations.
We are looking for experimental practitioners who will challenge the norms.
Snehta is a creative platform where solutions can be fostered as Greece encapsulates problems which are inherent to many western countries. Greece and specifically Athens are good examples of manifested societal, economic and cultural issues.
In Snehta solutions and new ideas can be discovered in order to surpass societal taboos and problems. Artists are advised to be people who challenge their practice and that they must believe that art is a way of improving the world.
The Residency program fosters creativity and activate artists into making work for a larger audience. Artists are advised to use the city and think outside the white cube. The Residency will try and accommodate specific projects after thorough discussion with the residency director and curator.

APPARTEMENT RE*INSTALLED // Opening 6 October
Saturday 06.10.2012, 8pm until late
Atelierhof Kreuzberg, Schleiermacher Str 31-37, Berlin-Kreuzberg
With the exhibition and re-installation of the original interior at Atelierhof Kreuzberg, APPARTEMENT RE-INSTALLED will bring together a selection of art, people and music of that time! If you were there then, you probably know the artists and remember the energy: 2007, when people thought Neukölln was a small-town in West-Germany and Brunnenstraße was considered the center of the global art world. Now we have dusted off the furniture for one last time, found the candles and dug up the old rum recipes.

Archive Public. Performing Archives in Public Art. Topical Interpositions. // ed. Panos Kouros and Elpida Karampa
*click the image for higher resolution
Within the flexible limits of archival art today, Archive Public practices archival art as intervention in public space, questioning the dominant hegemony and allowing for possibilities of solidarity actions. It aspires to the creation of a broader productive collaboration network triggered by two theoretical research assumptions and an open body of works which tries out archival interventions in conflicting urban situations, in Patras and other european cities.
The first phase of the work developed theoretical propositions and art projects in Patras, Greece. It was realized with the support of the C. Carathéodory research program at the University of Patras. An edited volume, Archive Public. Performing Archives in Public Art. Τοpical Interpositions, documents this first phase of the project, and is available from Cube Art Editions.
The book includes theoretical hypotheses on archival practice in contemporary art, art works that were specifically created for the project, as well as an anthology of essays by contemporary thinkers who elaborate on particular issues of the archive in relation to the public sphere and theories of democracy, the notions of institution and instituting practice, interventions in the shifting urban condition, the philosophy and archaeology of media as well as the global flows of migration and media. Interventions focus on the urban and social condition of Patras, as it is influenced by a translocal dynamics which produces interrelations with other localities.

Hosted in Athens // Opening 22 May
Hosted in Athens has invited groups of artists and collectives of different background and nationalities to present their activity in various buildings in the center of Athens through a series of events and exhibitions.
The project intends to articulate and organize its potentials in the area of the historical center of Athens and to involve public and private venues that can host its program in the means of hospitality.
The project seeks to advocate the local art scene and to introduce the work of international artists to the broader Athenian public. To provide the conditions for dialogue and collaboration between groups, communities and individuals and to establish connections between the cities involved emphasizing on the essence of networking and collectivity.
The participatory groups will be able to display their joint collaborations, shows and events in the context of a broader perspective that includes artists, curators, institutions and host venues.
The aim of the project is to underpin the importance of collaboration, the individual participation and the exchange between different art scenes and to indicate new ways of working that embrace the values of exchange and hospitality.
Hosted In Athens is organized by DL Projects.
