CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
Atopos cvc is participating in Athens Pride Week 2017 by hosting the performance, “Rooms to Let”, conceived by Nikos Kalyvas, on Thursday, June 8 at 21:00.
Nikos Kalyvas remarks on this work that was created specifically for Athens Pride Week: “‘Rooms to Let’: Divergent stories converge in a more personal common line as a result of a conversation among 12 artists. A revival of memories that has remained faithfully hermetically confined in the stories known only within the spaces of our homes. I could use the word assemblage [of memories], but I will stick with the word revival. I’m not interested working to meticulously unite these memory fragments. What I want is to see from another angle the position that these moments from the past have on a present self.”
