CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
24-26.11.2017 & 30.11-2.12.2017: 19:00-21:30
In Art We Trust is a collaborative platform attempting to break down contemporary display practices by challenging the notions of exhibition and curating, by sharing authorship, escaping the binaries of curator and artist, visual art and performance, sound and visual art, event and performance, artwork and object. The consistency of the group is constantly shifting based on instinct, chance encounters, temporary geographies and social karma.
Our common ground is our urge to create environments that can be perceived non-verbally, framed by substantial information on the artists and the works. Our collective experiences are divided in chapters, highlighting the main areas of our interests and research. The context of each iteration is solely communicated through the title, inviting you to reflect. Your presence is needed.
“Where I End and You Begin” will be the first in a series of projects focusing on the subject of Politics of Space.
Chapter I: Politics of Space
WHERE I END AND YOU BEGIN

Hampus Norén (b. 1983) studied at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. His synthesis is mostly based on recorded sound material. Through his pieces, he likes to create rooms and some sort of stories. He is trying to make films. Films without any picture. He wants to make compositions that are critical of norms. Compositions that cut up narrow dichotomous thoughts and burn holes in simplified preconceptions. His three most dear qualities in sound are: time, frequency and politics.
