DAS ESSZIMMER/ Art-Athina 26 to 29 May 2016 Faliron Pavilion, Athens, Greece

Platforms Project @ Art Athina was started in 2013 with the aim of charting artistic action as it is generated by the collective initiatives of artists who decide to create the so-called platforms and jointly pursue the answers to their artistic concerns. Since then it has become integral to Art Athina as an institution that reflects its genuinely international character.

Platforms Project @ Art Athina was started in 2013 with the aim of charting artistic action as it is generated by the collective initiatives of artists who decide to create the so-called platforms and jointly pursue the answers to their artistic concerns. Since then it has become integral to Art Athina as an institution that reflects its genuinely international character.

The 2013, 2014 and 2015 Platforms Projects @ Art Athina featured over 120 platforms and 1,600 artists from 23 countries, achieving instances of symbiosis, collaborations and unexpected debates on art as well as forging friendships. Interpersonal relationships aside, in many cases the platforms ended up exchanging exhibitions, actions and artists.

Platforms Project @ Art-Athina 2016 will be featuring 51 major platforms and art-group events from 17 countries, involving over 650 artists and making up a programme which will attempt to offer visitors an insight into artistic creation and the experience of collaboration in the artistic practice without focusing on sales.

Viewers will be able to see platforms which have honoured this project in previous years as well as platforms presented for the first time in Greece. Above all, however, the Platforms Project @ Art Athina 2016 is devoted to the collaborations established in the three previous events by platforms which, adopting the maxim “unity is strength”, have attained a prominent place on the international art scene, establishing a global network of independent art schemes.
