In this year's Remap -that is in its own right a walk in the historical centre of Athens- the viewer is asked to walk through the area in order to discover and track works of art displayed in balconies or windows of buildings, all around the area of KM. The works that are placed above the eye level, are "displayed" in a balcony to be "exhibited" to their audience, to "address" their audience, therefore due to their position, they obtains a somewhat "godlike" status. The position of the viewer on street level and that of the work of art a few metres above ground, is possibly creating what Kant called the sublime. Especially during this time that Greece is in an intense political and economical situation, the notions of "display", "exhibition" "position" that the balcony offers, are even more relevant. What do we choose to "exhibit" "display" or "support" today? Possibly works of art are one of the few that are left. The exhibition is curated by iLiana Fokianaki For more information and images please contact: ilianafokianaki@gmail.com, |
