With regards to our upcoming show "in ατhεns - Austrian Artist Residency", we are more than pleased that current artist-in-residence Margarethe Drexelwill share experiences of her 2 months-stay in ατhεns and give insights into the works she produced here.

Margarethe Drexel (Vienna/Los Angeles) creates cross-media installations, which are dry-humored, imbued with art-historical, socio-cultural references, continuously questioning the ambiguity of language. Her work investigates the topic of heritage by raising questions on different notions of home, tradition and religion and very many and multi-folded expectations related to them.

in ατhεns – Austrian Artist Residency offers four selected, Austrian-based, visual artists for the first time the opportunity to live and work in Athens during Spring/Summer 2017 as part of a funded residency program. The projects realized take conditions specific to the city as a starting point for artistic research, using various techniques and media to ask the question: what does it mean—or what could it mean—to live and work in ατhεns?
