The third and last event of "Registered Time" is a walk through the exhibition of screenings in the public space of central Athens. The evening will start at 21:00 on Praxitelous Str. at Karytsi Square and ending at Avdi Square at Metaxourgio. On our route we will watch the five installed works addressing themes such as touristification, invisible financial and legal structures defining the physical form of the city, the opposite forces of construction and demolition, and architecture as a tool of gentrification. The walk will run along with the thoughts and reflections by art critic Despina Zefkilis, who will enter into a dialogue with the thematic of Registered Time and the five in-situ works by Dimitra Kondylatou, Geirthrudur F. Hjorvar, Aglaia Konrad, Maria Lalou & Skafte Aymo-Boot, and Anu Vahtra. The evenings' epilogue is by Constantinos Hadzinikilaou, who will perform a revised version of his Super 8 performance MES/A.W.R.A. - not to be missed!

Athens will rise again!
Constantinos Hadzinikolaou's new work for the program of Registered Time is using forgotten material containing footage from his Super 8 archive. Images from a concert of The Fall in Athens (2006) will be accompanied by a live spoken word performance by the artist, setting up his equipment on a mini-tour on two different locations during Registered Time like a travelling Karagiozis player.

The program Registered Time is curated by Maria Lalou & Skafte Aymo-Boot, and organised by cross section archive non-profit space for art and architecture as part of its annual research and exhibition topic of 2022-23, Real Time History. With the city of Athens as the starting point, Real Time History aims to put into focus the continual but unnoticeable transformation of the physical environment of the city taking place while we are inhabiting it, and at the same time formulating a praxis of recording it.
The program of Real Time History is supported by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture & Sports.
