MIRAGES LXXVII
This month Platforms Project – Independent Art Fair is celebrating its 12th anniversary. The Platforms Project is an institution that supports artists, in an art fair where they themselves communicate and present their work, through collaboration and synergy. What excites, not only the art critics and journalists, but also the art lovers and all the other visitors, is the freshness and vitality of the artworks and the participation of artists from more and more countries every year.
This year Platforms Project 2024 will be presented in the building of the Tobacco Factory with workshops, performances, talks and presentations by the participating groups. Tobacco Factory, has been linked to major art exhibitions and has been transformed into a contemporary cultural and social space open to all, a centre for meeting and exchanging ideas. Platforms Project 2024 will feature 62 art platforms from 25 countries with more than 900 artists, expanding the global network built and communicated over the past twelve years. Platforms Project 2024 will present 52 performances from the participating platforms in the exhibition space during the days and hours of the exhibition.
A very important part of the Platforms project is the KIDS LAB educational programme for children aged 4-16, the parallel programme Open Studios programme, which for the seventh consecutive year will showcase student work and specially designed projects from the workshops of the Athens School of Fine Arts and four parallel solo exhibitions by artists from platforms participating in the main programme
For all the above we will inform you in a detailed article.
