Guest curator: Niovi Zarampouka-Chatzimanou
Cultural producer: Dorothea Kritikou
Yellow Brick welcomes two Belgian artists in residence, Aaron Daem & Evelyn Vanoverbeke. With a common interest in the city, the public space and an anthropological research view of its citizens-users, this is their first attempt to work together as an artistic duo, emerging in the sounds of the city of Athens. Springing from a shared fascination for urban environments and alternative forms of note-taking e.g. field recording, cognitive mapping and associative writing, the project researches the documentation of sound and language.
The two artists work along with the guest curator Niovi Zarampouka-Chatzimanou and Vasiliki Sifostratoudaki, founder and director of Yellow Brick, Dorothea Kritikou, cultural producer for STEP 45 and Maria Sideleva, production manager. The residency results are shared during an open studio day on July 15th at the space of Yellow Brick.
