Among 62 platforms EX-MĘKH will work the ‘on MEKH beach’ installation in booth 35 in the Tobacco Factory.

 

 

The question for us (EX-MĘKH) for this edition of PP in Athens was how do we give each other space in a place where there is all space for imagination but physically limited. (3m2).

Imagination saves.

The image of the sea, waves, ebb and flow, beach, skies, ever changing, vastness, endless depth but also sense of air space fuelled by stories, myths, dreams, gruesome tragedy, and hope.

On the waves of the sea and in the surf pouring out on the beach, thoughts and memories wash over you in varied emotions.

Such a place does something to you; over and over again.

We have this (psycho) dynamic in mind (although I'm never sure if the others see it in a similar way) when we think about our yet-to-be-made installation.

We will spend 4 days working on the installation as on “a beach” where the image is constantly changing due to all kinds of influences.

At different moments while working on the installation there will be a 'reflection'. This can also be done with visitors.

We will tune in like you once searched radio waves looking for a transmitter that came through clearly.

Then the considerations will begin, questions like; how do you 'read this'?

What will play a role these 4 days? Events? Recognitions? Findings? Associations? Influences? Visitor participation?

On the last day, under the title Reversal of the Tide! the work will break down into other elements as with which it was created.

The Platforms Project is an international exhibition of the independent art scene.

and has been presented every year since 2013.

The objective of Platforms Project is to map artistic action as it is produced in the context of

collective initiatives by artists who decide to join forces

in seeking answers to artistic questions by creating the so-called platforms.
