“Platforms Project 2019”: 800 artists, 60 platforms, 17 countries, May 16-19, 2019, ASFA.
16 – 19 May 2019
How would you feel if
you saw a work and the following day in its place was another since the first
one would have been destroyed? What can
someone expect from a group called the “Museum of Forgetting”? What
are the hurting boats and why are we doing this? What is the art of everyday
life, wandering and transformation? How are investments and transactions linked
to art? How do art, its audiences, workshops and lectures, workshops and
educational programs come together in one place?

a space for performance art, where
artists from Greece and abroad will present their works in different areas of
ASFA. Of course, you should not miss the Platforms
