ReMap3
An
international contemporary art programme
Kerameikos-Metaxourgeio, Athens,
Greece
12 September -
30 October 2011
ReMap is an
international contemporary art platform open and free to the
public, which is held bi annually in the area of
Kerameikos-Metaxourgeio in Athens, in tandem with the Athens
Biennial. It is organized by ReMapKM, a not-for-profit
organization.
ReMapKM’s goal is
to create an alternative platform for the production and
experiencing of contemporary art within the urban context, to
present an interactive environment within a cultural framework
and to enhance Athens’s positioning in the international
contemporary art scene.
In its third
incarnation, this year’s ReMap3 will be serving as a meeting
place for over 250 artists, art historians and curators from
around the world. KM’s own artistic community will also be
represented within the 30 independent and the 25 gallery
projects comprising this year’s ReMap.
The 50 plus
exhibitions and projects hosted by ReMap3 will be presenting
visitors an alternative route in KM, an area that is
developing into a contemporary cultural hub in the centre of
Athens and is home to the new Athens Municipal Art Gallery,
the Athens Film Archive, the Kunsthalle Athena, The Breeder
and Rebecca Camhi galleries, the ATOPOS Contemporary Visual
Culture (ATOPOS CVC), Ε.Δ.Ω., Frown Tails, and a host of
theatres including the new Synergy-o experimental stage and
the internationally renowned Attis Theatre, which has been
active in the area for over 20 years. Over the six weeks of
the ReMap3 programme, all these institutions will coexist with
ReMap3 exhibitions and projects, which are to be temporarily
housed in unutilized spaces throughout the area. Far removed
from the classic exhibition spaces provided by museums, art
fairs or galleries, these spaces are neoclassical and 1970s
buildings, courtyards, vacant plots and even detached
balconies.
This year’s
programme includes a number of young artists from all over the
world, as well as institutions presenting their work in Greece
for the first time. This will, strengthen ReMap’s dynamic
presence as a platform for emerging artists and institutions
on the international contemporary art scene.
The main exhibition
programme is enriched by a range of performances, creative
workshops and events staged in different spaces in the
area. ReMap3’s info point will be based in the courtyard
of an old house in the central Avdi square. The al fresco
space has been designed by the distinguished architecture
practice ANTONAS OFFICE, with the kind support of IKEA, and
will also serve as a work and study ‘cell’ for creative groups
wishing to make use of it. Free Internet access will be
provided, as well as a pop-up art bookshop. Entrance to the
information ‘cell’ - and to all ReMap3’s exhibitions - will be
free of charge.
ReMap 3 is under
the aegis of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture & Tourism
and the City of Athens.
