Lunch lezing Artemis Potamianou

Artemis Potamianou, kunstenaar, curator en directeur van Platforms Project, een onafhankelijke kunstbeurs in Athene, geeft een openbare lezing over haar praktijk. In de periode dat zij op uitnodiging van Stroom in Den Haag is om atelierbezoeken af te leggen bij Haagse kunstenaars, heeft zij tijd vrijgemaakt om meer te vertellen over haar werk.

Artemis Potamianou sees herself as a Virtual DJ using art works and art history in order to create new meaning and perspective. Her work explores the ways and mechanisms of presenting art.
She believes that the atmosphere and the people in the world of art make up a miniature of society: the dynamics of authority, power, collaboration and interaction, the roles, the sources of inspiration, the politics, the setting and the people of art constitute a microcosm with direct analogies to society.
