The art & research platform, hd.kepler, presents on Saturday, February 17, 2018 at 7.30 pm at Hot Wheels Projects (Patision 41, Athens) the new issue of the biannual publication, On the Run, Ecologies of Gaze.

Ecologies of Gaze is conceived as a study of attention through the spectrum of proximity and care. The departure point was the book “For an Ecology of Attention” where the thinker, Yves Citton, uses the theory of the economists George Franck and Maurice Goldhaber considering attention as a currency. Citton proposes a change of direction from the “One” to the “Other” and from the “We” to our environment. We have asked artists and curators how they practice attention in a world governed by automatism.

How do we practice attention at an unconventional exhibition space in a lighthouse in Sardinia or in a residency in the jungle of Chiapas, in a nomadic space moving from Εurope or in an exhibition space always presenting one or two artworks (bikini or monokini)?

On the occassion of the launch, the curator/ researcher Mirela Baciak will give a performative talk on how to practice attention in curating. The talk will be followed by Paky's Vlassopoulou work Hello Mrs Ramsay (Things Don’t Change That Fast), on hosting as an attention practice.

On the day of the launch, you can buy the publication on a special price. 
After the launch you can find the publication at Hot Wheels Project or on the internet hdkepler.net
