Days & Delivery Times:
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 19:00-22:00
During its 2nd week Deliverart presents the work of Despina Charitonidi!
Deliverart is a collective project and a moving experience that takes place in the streets of Athens. The delivery box becomes an exhibition space and a medium at the same time. By adopting a familiar form that we so often use in our everyday lives Deliverart removes the work of art from the institutional framework of the exhibition space and brings it directly to the viewer.
The project comes about as a response to the new economy of time, the fragmentation of experience, the cycles of consumption and distribution, and the contemporary conditions that formulate the way we construct our relationship with the world that surrounds us. An act of proximity, an action that is both physical and real, yet ephemeral and impermanent, Deliverart renegotiates the very conditions of exhibiting art while at the same time questions the network of its distribution.
Conceived and organised by
Anestis Ioannou, Myrto Katsimicha, Marina Papadaki and Vangelis Savvas
