Who let these kids in here?



Wednesday 1.8.2018

Mavromichali 137, 114 72, Exarcheia

20.00-22.00



3 137 and Columbia Summer in Greece are very happy to invite you to *Who
let these kids in here?*


This is an exhibition created and curated by students from Columbia
University. It was conceived over the course of a month spent in Athens
studying the city’s culture and history. Working with 3 137’s ongoing
artists' book series and with the curator Evita Tsokanta, we made artwork
that aims to convey the experiences we have had as visitors in a country—a
somewhat complicated process due to our limited background and subsequent
lack of authority on Athenian culture. If the only Greek we know is how to
curse and order coffee, how can we go about staging an exhibition? But we
are excited to present our own personal perspectives, conscious of the fact
that we are joining an ongoing dialogue surrounding the city’s global
identity. The exhibition explores these impressions by reading the city as
a palimpsest or a series of conversations between the past and the present.
In our artists' books we individually and collectively question our biased
views of the city’s legacy of erasure, revision, construction, and
dialogue. Acting as both curators and artists for this show has given us a
unique perspective on how narratives are created and controlled by those
who have the power to write history.

So thanks for letting us in here, we’ll show ourselves out!
