About
metamatic:taf is delighted to host the pop-up exhibition Soft Barrier, in the framework of the collaborative project Edge.Piraeus on Tuesday 4 April 2017. The exhibition will be open to the public from 14.00, running all day long.
Our communication passes through the soft space of the language barrier. It is an edge with a thickness, an autonomous membrane that influences the movement of thoughts and bodies. The language barrier is an abstraction, which, like the border, proliferates in the mind.
The collaborative project Edge.Piraeus brings together about forty young artists from the Weissensee Academy of Art Berlin and the Athens School of Fine Art. For one day, they take over metamatic:taf with a pop-up exhibition exploring the performativity of translation through artistic practice.
Participating artists from Weissensee Academy of Art: Benjamin Busch, Alexine Chanel & Mickael Faure, Pauline Faucheur, Maki Hosokawa, Sunniva Innstrand, Chia-Liang Lai, Mio Okido, Eri Qubo, Julie Peter, Maria Turik, Julius Weigel
Participating artists from ASFA: Erifili Aggelopoulou, Adamadia Duludi, Chris Favios, Mirto Hatzimihail, Stella Mouzi, Aggeliki Papageorgiou, Magia Papakosta, Lydia Vairaktaraki
