A research into the conditions and motivation for making art.
.
I am particularly interested in the conditions under which art is created. I am convinced that the conditions under which art is made have a major influence on its output. Be it formal, infrastructural, financial, content-related or personal conditions.
In relation to these questions, I am particularly interested in the self-organized art scene. Artistic self-organization in particular is often linked to critical working conditions and precarity. With this in mind, I am therefore interested in motivation, but also in the potential of pleasure and desire as a critical artistic practice and counter-strategy within artistic self-organization.
In my residential stay at Yellow Brick, I want to follow a field research-based method led by personal contacts. I want to get to know Athens art scene, make studio visits to artists, visit exhibition spaces, hold talks/interviews with artists and cultural practitioners.
