15 YEARS IN CREATIVE ARTS MANAGEMENT Since our first steps 15 years ago (1999-2014), we have organised more than 185 projects, out of which 75 exhibitions, 25 curated by us, 57 organised abroad, in more than 33 different cities.

We have coordinated and edited more than 53 publications, exhibition catalogues and other printed material.

We have organised and participated in 35 conferences and talks programmes.

As artistic directors we have created or relaunched 6 large-scale international contemporary art events.

We undertook the Arts Management of the oldest contemporary art museum in Greece - the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art (2010-2012).

We are the only arts management office that has conceived, developed and implemented all of the most significant contemporary art projects in Greece and that has been invited to co-curate a project within the framework of the Venice Biennale (based on one of our previous projects). We have collaborated with a few of the most significant curators, artists and institutions worldwide.

OUR EXPERTISE

WE A R T I S T I C A L LY DIRECT We are experts in shaping the vision of institutions, curators and artists into compelling large-scale international events. Bringing together a v a r i e t y o f a r t i s t i c p ro j e c t s i n t o o n e c o h e re n t , e n g a g i n g and publicly attractive programme is no easy enterprise, especially since it demands reconciling different and competitive creative forces and institutional agendas. We’ve been known to successfully pull it off against all odds every time, as we did in the cases of Art Athina, Action Field Kodra and the XV Biennale de la Méditerranée.

We focus on the reshaping of public space and the development of audiences.

WE C U R AT E Following the example of Harald Szeemann (“father” of contemporary curatorial practice), with whom we had the honour to work, we regard curatorial work as “exhibitionmaking”. We experiment with the variety of meanings that a collection of art works can convey through different installation scenarios. The selection of artists, works, spaces, texts and installation techniques is a theoretical and practical exercise that aims at creating the best possible conditions for showcasing art and ultimately leads to that magic moment when a whole new world is revealed to the spectator.

WE OFFER Our services cover all the phases necessary for the creation of a contemporary art exhibition or event - from initiation to closure, from conceiving and shaping the concept, to realising it, presenting it and disseminating it. Thanks to our experience, we can adapt to developments and changes without risking the end result.

Action Field Kodra - Annual Visual Arts Festival (2004-2008) Action Field Kodra is an annual visual arts festival that takes place in a former military camp in the area of Kalamaria in Thessaloniki. Between 2004-2008 we undertook the festival's Artistic Direction and General Coordination. During those years, the festival underwent major transformation and became one of the most important and vibrant visual arts events of international acclaim in Greece, having as main focus the communication between the local and the international arts scene. Towards this end, its programme included collaborations with greek and international artists, curators and institutions. Its main programme included the actions RoomsToLet (young artists exhibition) and ProTaseis (exhibition of mid-career Greek artists), through which a lot of currently significant Greek curators and artists emerged.

The quality of exhibitions and events enhanced the local community’s sense of ownership for an otherwise vacant area in the middle of their Municipality, resulting to an increasing number of visitors, most of them non-exhibition-goers, the average

Young Artists Biennale of Europe and the Mediterranean (2011) 500 artists and creators from 26 countries, 11.000 square meters spread over 12 exhibition spaces - many of which used for the first time, including old port warehouses, 12 parallel projects and exhibitions, 6 main organising institutions in collaboration with over 35 partner institutions, 200 volunteers, 100+ technicians, 270 pages’ colour catalogue.

Organised by the General Secretariat for Youth, the Municipality of Thessaloniki, the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art and BJCEM - the Association Internationale pour la Biennale de Jeunes Créateurs de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée, the 15th Young Artists Biennale of Europe and the Mediterranean showcased the work of 500 artists from 26 artists, spread in various venues and public spaces around the city. Under our Artistic Direction, emphasis was given on the rich parallel programme, which involved all the local cultural agents, and most importantly on the curatorial approach, which guaranteed a more concrete and coherent result in the main programme exhibitions, compared to the biennale’s previous versions. This became a landmark in the history of the event and the changes in philosophy that we proposed were to be followed in future editions.

SELECTED PROJECTS

AS ARTISTIC DIRECTORS, CURATORS, ORGANISERS, COORDINATORS, ARTS MANAGERS, PROJECT INITIATORS, WE HAVE REALISED MORE THAN 185 PROJECTS

Art Athina - international art fair (2006-2008) We were invited to undertake the Artistic Direction of Art Athina, the art fair of Athens, in order to reshape the whole event into a truly international art fair. We responded to the challenge by introducing various new elements to the programme, which included the following sections: Basic Plan: "standard" galleries participation in booths; Open Plan: curatorial galleries participation (by application/invitation); Contemporary Plan: international dynamic, emerging galleries (by invitation); Guest country/city: galleries from a selected country or city. On top of that, we organised a rich programme of parallel projects and exhibitions -in the fair venue and around the city, in order to a) introduce the local arts scene to the fair visitors, and b) present international artists and interesting projects to the local public. The VIP programme included exclusive viewings of private contemporary art collections.

In 2007, the fair’s opening caused one of the major avenues of Athens, Kifissias, to close down for several minutes due to the mass of audience coming to the fair.

Forum Artists-in-Residency - F.A.R. (2005-2008) F.A.R. was initiated in 2005 and was realised every year until 2008 in the framework of the annual visual arts festival Action Field Kodra. One of the few serious attempts to establish a residency programme in Greece, F.A.R. was organised by Forum European Cultural Exchanges (see below for more information), and collaborated with established Greek and international curators and interesting emerging artists from Greece and abroad, among which Pier Luigi Tazzi, Roger Buergel and Ruth Noack (Directors of Documenta 2007), Wael Shawky and Christodoulos Panayiotou (both participating artists in Documenta 2012).

In 2006, the Periphery of Alsace (France) invited us to present F.A.R. as a model for regional cultural development.

Making Words - Venice Biennale, International Exhibition (2009) A collaborative project bringing together visual art and poetry, especially created for "Making Worlds", the 53rd International Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, following invitation by the Artistic Director, Daniel Birnbaum.

The starting point for "Making Words" was a performance that took place in September 2008, in the annual visual arts festival Action Field Kodra in Thessaloniki, that we artistically directed and coordinated. For the 2009 Venice Biennale, Director Daniel Birnbaum invited us to further develop that initial idea. As a result, the project evolved into a collaborative platform which included two visual art works: "Common Cause" by Igor Makarevich and Elena Elagina and "Poets Machine" by Yioula Chatzigeorgiou. Both installations, presented at the Giardini, were used as a stage for poets' readings during the Biennale preview. Overall, the project included participations by 26 poets and visual artists from Greece, Cyprus, Austria, Russia and the USA. After the Venice Biennale, the project was also presented at the Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art.

Young Balkan Artists (2003) 25 artists from 8 Balkan countries created mostly site specific works in three of the most important monuments of Thessaloniki.

The exhibition took place right after the great exhibitions dealing with the Balkans, which had been organised by important western curators: Blood and Honey by Harald Szeemann, In Search of Balkania by Roger Conover, Eda Cufer, Peter Weibel, and In the Gorges of The Balkans by Rene Block. The aim of the project was not to respond to these exhibitions, nor to comment on the views held by the West regarding this area, but to establish the terms and conditions for Young Balkan Artists to work together and speak through their work about the things that unite or divide them. The three buildings where the exhibition took place were all remnants of the Byzantine and Ottoman periods, acting therefore as vehicles of a common cultural heritage.

Roaming Images. Crossroads of Greek and Arab cultures through the eyes of contemporary artists (2010-2011) 8 cities, 16 institutions, 14 curators, 55 artists Thessaloniki (Greece), Alexandria (Egypt), Jaffa (Israel), Beirut (Lebanon), Damascus (Syria), Nicoxia (Cyprus), Sharjah (UAE), Muscat (Oman) The project included a series of exhibitions, workshops, and discussions in 8 cities along the route linking Muscat (Oman) to Thessaloniki (Greece), in collaboration with local partner institutions, correspondent curators, local artists and scholars. Also, a major exhibition in two parts at the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki, Greece, presenting the results of the journey, as well as works by international artists working in this broad geographical area. The project was realised in the framework of the 3rd Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art.

Enter Views on Crisis (ongoing since 2013) A project with the overall objective of decoding, analysing and mapping crisis, in order to understand it, suggest solutions and multiply questions, through critique, production of scientific and artistic knowledge and creativity.

Enter Views on Crisis functions as an open devise, comprising different groups of interdependent and intertwining activities, such as workshops and conferences; research; networking to research institutions, artistic and creative communities and, in certain cases, the business community; production of artistic interpretations of the project elements, through collaboration with cultural institutions; design and production of public presentation formats, such as a mobile micro-architecture, a traveling exhibition, a video recording studio operating as a media sculpture, a series of performances, a documentary film and others.

Enter Views on Crisis was initiated by Institute Hyperwerk - Academy of Art and Design - University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW), the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and GRenter - a project by ArtBOx.gr. It is realised in collaboration with FH Joanneum - University of Applied Sciences (Graz), University of Applied Arts (Vienna) and the School of Film Studies - Faculty of Fine Arts - Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. More academic and cultural institutions will be added as the project evolves. More information: www.enterviewoncrisis.org

FORUM EUROPEAN CULTURAL EXCHANGES (2000-2010) 32 countries, 28 exhibitions, 25 actions, 10 projects, 5 residency programmes, 1 film festival, 22 conferences, round-tables and panel discussions of a total duration of 30 days, 20 publications Forum European Cultural Exchanges was founded in 2000 as an ongoing platform for the development and promotion of European cultural exchanges –with emphasis on Southeastern Europe– aiming towards the support and diffusion of contemporary artistic creation. For 10 years, Forum organised annual conferences, meetings and exhibitions, where art professionals discussed certain aspects of contemporary artistic creation and the public was introduced to a wide spectrum of challenging contemporary art. Forum was the result of a multiple network founded in Thessaloniki in 2000 and spread throughout Europe. For 10 years, it received the endorsement and support of government organisations, such as the Ministries of Culture and of Foreign Affairs of Greece and France, cultural institutions and art professionals.

Even four years after the scheduled closure of its actions, we meet artists and curators whose first introduction in one of Forum’s events lead to successful projects and collaborations.

Europe Exists (2003) 30 artists from 15 EU countries, among which Pierre Bismuth, Christian Boltanski, Maurizio Cattelan, Tracey Emin, Mona Hatoum, Aernout Mik, Juan Munoz and Neo Rauch.

The exhibition presented works by two artists from each of the 15 countries-members of the European Union. Curated by iconic curator Harald Szeemann (“father” of contemporary curatorial practice) and Rosa Martínez (who later curated numerous significant exhibitions, such as the Venice and Istanbul Biennales), this is still one of the few major exhibitions in Greece of the past decade, including iconic works by star artists.

It was realised with the support of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in the context of the Greek Presidency of the European Union.

MACEDONIAN MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART (2010-2012) We were invited to undertake the Arts Management Direction of the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, at a time crucial for the Museum’s history, when it was facing the danger of becoming stagnated and obsolete. The Museum’s Board of Directors chose us because they knew that we could bring in original projects that would renew the Museum’s profile.

In 2 years, we organised some of the most interesting projects in the Museum’s history, among which Damien Hirst’s only solo show in Greece ever, the project Roaming Images that spread around the Middle East and the Museum’s Project Space (see below).

The Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art is the oldest contemporary art museum in Greece, founded more than 30 years ago. It is a private, semi-autonomous organisation, with a rich collection of modern and contemporary art as well as an engaging programme of exhibitions and educational activities.

Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art’s Project Space (2010-2012) Through the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art’s Project Space, that we artistically run between 2010 and 2012, we aimed to render the public –specialised or not (art lovers, students, young artists, arts professionals, general public…)– witness or even part of the creative process. Aiming to shed light upon the birth of the idea which leads to the creation of contemporary art, the Project Space became the representation of the artist’s studio, not in its scenography (as a visualisation of a certain physical reality), but in the metaphorical sense: the flash of inspiration was captured through the artist’s reference material (books, films, music etc.), through conversations with curators and intellectuals or even through other artists’ works, functioning as an open, ongoing workshop. The participating artists were invited, according to the nature of their work and their potential, to use these special circumstances as a constructive experience for themselves as well as for the audience.

MMCA is the first museum of contemporary art in Greece with the biggest collection of works

REALISE (1.11.2014 - 31.10.2016) THE RESILIENCE OF ART IN LIQUID CRISES Over the past years Europe has met several deep crises. The financial and economic crisis is the most eagerly discussed among the recent crises and has led into a condition of deep uncertainty and feelings of extreme existential threats for many European citizens. Other crises as for instance a profound climate and environmental crisis, the demographic change in some European countries, the arising crisis of resources, the democratic crises as well as the crises of trust, paint a picture of a crisis-ridden future in many people’s minds. The manifest and looming as well as the predicted crises, their (re)presentation in the media and the governments’ and parties’ inconclusive reactions towards these urgent questions caused rejection of politics in general and a feeling of abandonment. Instead of burying one’s head in the sand, REALISE aims at identifying the potential and the self-efficacy of people in the face of crises as well as the proactive development of resilience by means of creativity and artistic production. Through the lens of crises and by encouraging people engaged in the artistic and cultural sector, insights as well as alternative models, know-how and future concepts are going to be developed. By cooperating in various activities such as transnational exhibitions and performances in Potsdam, Graz, Zagreb and Bratislava, artists in residence-programs, workshops and lectures in Thessaloniki, a common presentation of the REALISE project at 56. Biennale d’Arte in Venice, as well as a festival in Seville, the capacities of the involved partners from Germany, Slovakian Republic, Greece, Croatia, Austria and Spain to work together is going to be supported. An interactive virtual exhibition platform will open the results of the project to a wider European public. Creative Crisis Intelligence is going to support not only artistic professionals but give important impulses to the development of European resilient societies in general.

>>UPCOMING PROJECTS SHORT PRESENTATION OF TWO OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE WILL PRESENT IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS TILL 2018

ARTECITYA (2014-2019) ARTECITYA is a creative residencies project that will result to public space interventions for the city of the future, with the active participation of citizens from around Europe.The interventions envisaged are not centred on material creation, like a statue or monument, according to the conventional model – conception, production, exhibition – but on real involvement and participation, where the entire process, the thinking behind a response to an urban issue affecting the local population, becomes the very essence of the project, a social challenge stemming from the times we live in.

Participating creators (who can be artists, architects, designers, urban planners etc.) will be selected through an open call process, with the contribution of an international jury (whose first members are Lorand Hegyi, director of the Modern Art museum in Saint-Etienne, and Henry Meyric Hughes, former visual arts director of the British Council and director of the London Hayward Gallery).

The public will be involved in the creative decisions and all steps of the creative process through workshops (CitizenLabs) with the artists, as well as with local cultural agents and entrepreneurs, aiming towards the democratisation of the entire process and its results.

Partners: Apollonia (Strasbourg, FR), Kunstrepublik - ZKU (Berlin, DE), ARTos Foundation (Nicosia, CY), CIANT - International Centre for Art and New Technologies (Prague, CZ), Laznia - Centre for Contemporary Art (Gdansk, PL), MoTA - Museum of Transitory Art (Ljubljana, SL), Bellastock (Paris, FR), GOETHE Institute (Thessaloniki, GR).
