Mporn 2 Dream Is the first art exhibition and collaborative performance in Greece supported by Blockchain and Crypto Currency through the Trojan DAO. The event traverses the boundaries between individualistic and collective art production and experience through the seamless combination of visual art, performance and music. Together the artists transport viewers into a surreal dreamscape to explore the horrific and hilarious aspects of consciousness and the subconscious.

These themes are materialized through four persistent symbols which inhabit the dream world of Chickenman. The first is the shoe which acts as the last frontier between man and Earth. The second is hair which intercedes between cerebral consciousness and the infinite sky. The dead hairs that cling to our heads connect life, death and eternity. The third is the tree, the Earth’s lungs, our roots and our future, seekers of light in the shadows. Finally, there are bells, heralds of beginnings and ends, joy and fear, life and death. The bell summons us, punishes us and rewards us. The performance nights culminate in a party, challenging ideas of separation between audience, organizers, performers and space.
