CURRENT Athens was an online platform for the promotion of contemporary art (2017–2026).
Atopos cvc is participating in Athens Pride Week 2017 by hosting the performance, “Rooms to Let”, conceived by Nikos Kalyvas, on Thursday, June 8 at 21:00.
Nikos Kalyvas remarks on this work that was created specifically for Athens Pride Week: “‘Rooms to Let’: Divergent stories converge in a more personal common line as a result of a conversation among 12 artists. A revival of memories that has remained faithfully hermetically confined in the stories known only within the spaces of our homes. I could use the word assemblage [of memories], but I will stick with the word revival. I’m not interested working to meticulously unite these memory fragments. What I want is to see from another angle the position that these moments from the past have on a present self.”
