my living room: Family Values

Family Values - 25.1.2008

FAMILY VALUES
featuring works by Panwskiammos, Blind-Adam, Yatabazah, Niadoka, Stavroula Papadaki, Anna Tzini

There are some values that we all hold near and dear to our hearts. Those virtues instilled in us by our parents and grand parents, our neighbors and nations. These are our family values. Sculpted by generations of experience they are our inheritance and our legacy to the future. Family Values is an open invitation for examination, deconstruction and reconstruction of that which is understood as familial in contemporary Athenian Culture.

my living room was initiated out of the need to create an open space for creativity and a platform of discourse in Athens, Greece.

Artists, who seek to gain inspiration from the edgy Athenian arts scene, are invited to apply to our artist in residency program. Participating artists are asked to create and present a new project at my living room. Please contact us for more information on our artist residency program

In addition to this program, my living room also provides curators and artists the opportunity to produce exhibitions, projects, unique curatorial events, presentations and symposiums that support critical discourse and collaboration within the contemporary arts community.

An initiative of independent curator Sotirios Bahtsetzis, my living room began operation in January 2008. It is located on the 5th floor of an office building in Metaxourgio Keramikos, the gallery area of downtown Athens and is part of a network of project spaces that foster the exchange of artists and ideas.
