MIRAGES LXXIII
This month Platforms Project is celebrating its 11th anniversary. The Platforms Project is an institution that supports artists, in an art fair where they themselves communicate and present their work, through collaboration and synergy. What excites, not only the art critics and journalist, but also the art lovers, is the freshness and vitality of the artworks and the participation of artists from more and more countries every year. This year in Platforms Project 2023 presents a rich and multifaceted program of speeches, videos and performances by 56 artistic platforms from 24 countries and 900 artists
For the first time this year, Platforms Project will host groups from the fields of theater, music, architecture, and design, expanding the international network that has already been established over the past decade and from which not only international collaborations but also friendships have emerged. The aim of the Platforms Project is to showcase the collective initiatives of Greek and foreign artists, consistently contributing to the search for solutions to contemporary artistic and theoretical issues that are raised internationally. The practice of interdisciplinary collaboration among different art forms (visual arts, music, theater, etc.) is and remains a matter of international artistic cooperative action, which Platforms Project embraces starting from this year. For four days, the Technopolis of the Municipality of Athens will serve as a meeting and networking hub for artistic groups from all over the world, providing the opportunity for the wider art-loving audience to explore contemporary artistic creation from within, discover new trends, understand the value of collaboration in artistic practice, and, of course, witness the artists themselves in action. Alongside the Platforms Project 2023 exhibition, there will be lectures, conferences, performances, workshops, and, of course, the Kids Lab, an educational program for children aged 4-16 years. This year, it is designed by the Greek platform POW WOW, which invites children during the Platforms Project to create a large-scale interactive mural. The final result emphasizes the strong creativity of the children and their freedom of expression.
