Kerameikou 32 is a nomadic public art project exploring the relations between art and globalised public space. As urban spaces throughout the world become increasingly privatised for a multitude of commercial uses, this project considers how mobile arts practices can encourage experimentation and contestation within the public realm.
Utilising a truck fitted out as a gallery and performance space, Kerameikou 32 imagines a new kind of roving ‘institution’; a model for rethinking the overlap of politics and art.
The Kerameikou 32 truck will be stationed at Kerameikou 32 for the duration of the opening week of ReMap3 (12 – 19 September 2011) and will feature work by the following Australian artists: Kay Abude, Ros Bandt, Michael Fowler, Agatha Gothe-Snape, and Dylan Martorell. The fit-out for the truck will be designed in collaboration with Athens-based architects Beth Hughes, João Prates Ruivo and coordinated by Vassilis Oikonomopoulos. At the conclusion of opening week, the interior shell of the truck will remain as a free-standing installation.
Kerameikou 32 has been curated by Melody Ellis and Nella Themelios on behalf of BUS Projects, an independent contemporary arts initiative based in Melbourne, Australia. BUS Projects supports and promotes the experimental fields of performance, sound art and spatial practice. In addition to its core exhibition program, BUS Projects is committed to operating outside of traditional gallery contexts, developing exhibitions, events and performances off-site and within the public realm.
