Opening party kunsthalle athena – the bar, Thursday 13 may, 20:00, keramikou 28, keramikos metaxourgio.

KUNSTHALLE ATHENA-THE BAR will host a variety of events related both to the city of Athens and the newly launched Kunsthalle: Site and conceptually specific works, responsive public performances, screenings, as well as Athenian pop archives, an Athens book archive, dj-sets and concerts, selected Athenian blogs, magazine launches, even an artwork–taxi service, will come together with DIY catering activity within the specially designed interior (one of the artworks) of the venue. The content of this event-cum-exhibition – or better, the bar itself- will be the outcome of what can only be described as a collective offer: that of artists, curators, theoreticians, choreographers, friends of KUNSTHALLE ATHENA, and hopefully the public, in order to put ideas into orbit.

Merging everyday life and art can take many different forms. KUNSTHALLE ATHENA-THE BAR prefers the form of a fleeting get-together. This is the moment to say what you think and think what you say, a moment to make friends and a moment to repeat. You are invited to be part of it as you make it happen!
