Alternative exchange systems and social economy initiatives: a practical introduction
Co-ordination: Giorgos Papadopoulos
Α cycle of four talks moderated by Giorgos Papadopoulos, examining the subject of social economy and alternative exchange systems (Local Exchange Trading Systems – LETS) both as viable alternatives of goods and services distribution and as political actions of resistance to the logic of the 'free' market and monetary relationships. The first talk involves the presentation of Giorgos Papadopoulos’ first book "Notes Towards A Critique of Money" and it will take place at XYZ Outlet, 8 Perdika St., Metaxourgeio on Tuesday 8 November. Three more talks will be presented at the 3rd Athens Biennale 2011 MONODROME (Diplareios School) as sessions of The Public School in Athens (http://thepublicschoolinathens.net/), part of the project Word of Mouth, curated by KERNEL.

Lindsay Seers, Monocular 2, performance
Wednesday 9 Νovember, 17:00-19:00, in five cycles of 20 minutes each
Space of We Never Closed, Diplareios School, 3rd Floor
Lindsay Seers’ work for the 3rd Athens Biennale, titled "Monocular 2", is a live performance and a film. The film is projected onto two spheres - at times these seem to refer to eyes, then platonic forms and at other times cosmological particles which are entangled. The narrative is about a person with two different coloured eyes, an aberration that occurred genetically through the character's sibling/twin being absorbed into one egg in the womb. Through this character that carries a stream of alien DNA, an existential tale unfolds. The divided character struggles to understand the situation of her life. The meta-narrative of the work is about how the medium of film mirrors and creates ontological problems for the human subject, generating a new truth.
MONODROME DEBATE
Talk: Anna Dezeuze "Some Observations on Precarious Art since the 1990s"
Thursday 10 November, 18:00
Diplareios School Auditorium
The current economic crisis is the result of the acceleration and expansion of post-fordist capitalism in the last two decades, which has led to a growing awareness of the increasing precarization of European and North American societies. Looking back at this period Anna Dezeuze will map out some of the ways that artists have responded to these social and economic shifts by developing practices that could be described as precarious. While precursors for these types of practice can be found in 1960s and 1970s art, Dezeuze argues that precarious works developed since the 1990s reflect the changes that have occurred in the intervening decades, while refusing to embrace either melancholy cynicism or escapist naivety. The vital question of whether, and how, an ever more intelligent capitalism can be outwitted, has never appeared more urgent than today.
Anna Dezeuze is an art historian currently working on a book titled "Almost Nothing: Precariousness in Contemporary Art since the 1960s". She has held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Manchester and at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. and is a teaching fellow at the Université de Genève. She has edited "The Do-it-yourself Artwork: Participation from Fluxus to New Media" (Manchester University Press, 2010)and published essays on a number of 1960s practices, including assemblage and the work of Hélio Oiticica, as well as writing in magazines such as Art Monthly and Mute.
The talk will be held in English.

"Exactly what I wanted" was Sergei Diaghilev’s (director of Ballet Russes) statement after the premiere of the ballet "Le Sacre du Printemps", choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky, with music composed by Igor Stravinsky, in 1913 in Paris. "Le Sacre du Printemps" was Nijinsky’s only second choreography after "L'apres-midi d'un Faune", yet its premiere ended in one of the most famous audience riots and changed ballet’s history.

Tableau #2: Public Enemies
Saturday 12 & Sunday 13 November, 18:00-20:00
Bonnie and Clyde were notorious outlaws that used to operate in the central United States during the Great Depression. Their feats shook the American public opinion from '31 to '34, years labelled as "The Public Enemy Era".
Two actors take poses and improvise inspired by the original photographs of Bonnie and Clyde, found in their hideout in Joplin, Missouri in 1933, and also by the film of the same name by Arthur Penn from '67. At the same time, a musician composes & performs music for Bonnie Parker's poem "The Trail's End", parts of which Serge Gainsbourg included in his song "Bonnie and Clyde".
Participants: Dimitris Pleionis, Aris Siafas, Despoina Chatzipavlidou

"LEAK" Intervention
Saturday 12 November, 18:00 onwards
Venice Biennale 2001, Francis Alÿs takes part with his work "The Ambassador", which comprises of releasing a peacock in the streets of Venice. The "LEAK" , starting from the 3rd Athens Biennale 2011, lets loose an intervention aiming to spread in the city of Athens. The LEAK comments on the notion of the contemporary performance, entwines with it, and doubts, like its curators, what it means to be a viewer.
Without this performance being a work of art per se and without it being anything without an audience, the "LEAK" challenges our circulation within the spaces of the Biennale venue in Diplareios School, and the way we move within them.
Leaking…: Nefeli Ananiadi, Venia Andreou, Fryni Vrettou, Konstantina Giasemidou, Georgia Laskari, Chara Kotsali, Androniki Marathaki, Chrysanthi Badeka, Maria Papachristou, Ioanna Paraskeuopoulou
