Platforms Project 2018 – day 4
May 20, 2018
After a walk in the park I joined Platforms Project again to finish our project. On this day a lot of performances took place of which I missed some, but I think I caught the most of it. Here’s an account of the last day:
The park near Syntagma was beautiful with the purple flowers falling
All of a sudden I was pointed at the Republic of Banania that was cutting a litttle book of mine to have a passport photo. Now someone is having a passport with a painting of Ezra Pound!
Across, around the corner someone installed this piece at the 24 hours project
This also is a nice casual intallation at Ormston House, from Ireland
From Canada AKA & UAS presented Walter Scott with great contemporary drawing.
Of course Guillaume Krick was present again, his platform Bureau d’Art et de Recherche presented his 3D work and that of Clara Juliane Glauert. Here Guillaume performs inspired by his sculpture!
The great Linda Weiss shows her work with Scotty from Berlin
And of course our friends from the Bcademie had their ways of making fun again, they organized a lottery: for € 2,- one could buy one of the obects on the floor. If it had a sticker on the back, you could take your pick…
out of these art works. I tried several times but was not lucky, though I would have liked very much to pick…
this V&B-piece,
This tongue in cheek work by Daan den Houter
or this great drawing by Lisa Blauwbroek
One of these by Tjalling Mulder would have been nice too, but alas….
Our friends of the Milena Project were present again
with this Utopia-project
and this example of “Belgicisme” that I liked a lot: pins sticking in the sleeves, letters as an invitation to shake hands by reading…
In the end I completed the Athens Diary, which makes for a fine set of drawings
The public wouldn’t stop gluing
And still some performances were due, here three ladies entered singing orthodox song while a performer creeped to the exit in sheets
like a snail trying to get out…
After Hours: I forgot to take a picture of the great piece of Gianin Conrad at Diensgebäude, probably because we saw it all the time
And I liked it every time!
Of Course Rosa Lux was also present with work by Tony Domingos
And this project was also worth wile: Danae Stratou at Vital Space created this beautiful site-specific installation of which documentation was presented.
The Milena Project showed this last minute performance by this classical dancer
Next to us was an installation by Angela Brisnovali at LaLa Artgroup from Greece that I liked more and more
Especially this work on paper
And finally our last collage was taken off the wall
And put into the pool
After which everything was displayed
The day and Platforms Project 2018 ended in music and dance, next morning early I would return home!
Platforms Project – day 1
17 mei 2018
Today Platforms Project in Athens will start. Due to teaching obligations I could not come sooner, but my EX-MÊKH Buddies took care of everything. The project we want to realise is “Shifting Realities” in which we expect the public to participate in making collages from newspapers from the Eastern Mediteranean region. The newspapers will be bought anew every day. and they will contain the news of the day. We will contribute also, but we don’t read Greek, Turkish, Georgian, Azerbeidjani, Russian a.s. In this way we will create another “Cadavre exquis” in which text and image will be juxtaposed in unexpected ways. We also want the public to act as artist, that is: to be co-author of the collages we will make each day.
As a note to all this I will make five Athens-Diary drawings during the Fair in which I will note my personal experience as a contrast to all the stuff from the news.
Our invitation card shows a picture from a holiday we had together with our children. The plastic pool looks lake a perfect frame.
Ellen Rodenberg is arranging her electronic stuff
The venue where Platforms Project is helt is an exhibitionspace in the local artschool. Last year it housed part of the Athens edition of Documenta. Here everybody is building up!
And before the opening we start our first collage
Our stand before the opening
With my first Diary page from May 16. We put the collage paper in the pool without fastening it.
Soon the public starts cutting and pasting the material.
During the opening it got busier and busier
and all kinds of things were happening. This performance is done by an artist who put a floor-piece over his head to go walking in a very solemn way
This is just the beginning of the opening which was a great succes!
The collages met with great enthousiasm
And in the end I added . Diary-page of May 17 on the side
And the first collage was taken from the wall…
And it was put into the pool
