Waste(d)

 a new collaboration with Temporary Academy of Arts (P.A.T)

Waste(d), 2020











Waste/d publication, published by Temporary Academy of Arts (Elpida Karaba, Despina Zefkili, Yota Ioannidou, Vangelis Vlahos) by Omblos Editions, with the support of Goethe Institute, Athen. ‘WASTE/d’ is trying to define new aspects of waste/d subjects and matter (from the precarious art workers bodies to the new wasted subjects produced by the hygiene norms of covid19) as well as new sophisticated methods of ‘cleaning’ (from global environmental politics in the era of climate change to state and police methods to clean the city of Athens from refugee squats and anarchists and ensure public order). The subject raises questions of freedom, justice as well as humanitarian and ethical issues which come forth in urgent, in the contemporary condition, of the refugee crisis, the pandemic, the Anthropocene, in pragmatic and existential ways. It raises questions on the role of art as a praxis which can create the symbolic as well as the actual and activist space for such existential and ethical dilemmas. PAT’s experiment is looking for spaces where new and unexpected modes of living, socializing, activating affects and powers can be proposed, discussed, thought and tried out.
