Greece Educational Heurism

"Artists' initiatives and independent art spaces have the soul and energy needed to lure citizens into places of dreams and art experiences. By taking a closer look at the creative outlets in Greece, this book offers a portrait of a regenerative network of people and sites, who are dedicated in both research and actions while broadening the horizons of art. This is the kind of record one would want to see coming out of their immediate geography". (Abdellah Karroum - Curator, Researcher & Founder of L'appartement22 - Rabat, Morocco)
"Nurturing micro-communities is a bold sign of internal resilience and faith that THE ΤΕΛΟΣ SOCIETY is chronicling across the non-Western and non-hegemonic Greek art world during the pandemic by raising the visibility of an unpredictable art network. THE ΤΕΛΟΣ SOCIETY encourages the art agents to speak up and mediate the multiplicity of voices and positions represented in this publication and in so doing offers an insight into the expanded exhibition formats and artistic services, more innovative than the ones offered by the traditional gallery system. The unique Greek chorus gathered -of independent entities- gets to perform in this significant publication, pointing vibrantly to the new possible collaborations on the horizons. "Maja Ciric - Independent curator & Art critic - Belgrade, Serbia)
"Navigation was always a difficult art" as it has rightfully been demonstrated by various inquiries around the signs of death, creativity, survival, cunning intelligence (metis) et.al.
THE ΤΕΛΟΣ SOCIETY attempts its own cartographic venture by calling forth voices from across diverse fields of recent artist-led efforts. Its move beyond Athens in particular is a crucial one, a contribution that will hopefully engender curiosity and attention to what is and what might come to be in the peripheries.
I welcome this publication as a timely expression of the kind of collective craft that can ever trigger and thoughtfully sustain further alliances.
