CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
In their first performance as The Bad Poetry Social Club in Athens, they welcome their aspiring friends or enemies at MEME gallery, which serves as the commune they will all live in for a day. The artists struggle to survive from each other’s teeth.
'Feed Your Enemies' is an experimental approach to poetry performance. Its duration is 4 hours. 2 hours of getting to know each other, 1 hour for dinner and 1 last hour for having a drink. You can come and stay for as long as you like. Interaction with you will be necessary. We want to talk to you. It's not your fault. It's ours.
"[...] The friends of our enemies, are our enemies too. And our friends, in the end, are enemies too. We walk on the corpses of others, and we walk alone. How long can you keep going when you're alone?
In the end, we can only win when we are together."
