General Information
The organization began in September of 2010. Inspired by many DIY approaches world wide artist I began 3///3...three walls on wednesdays...as an alternative way to exhibit art from national and international artists. 3///3 are three portable walls that I place in different points in Athens in hopes of bringing art to places where there is no arts organizations or galleries. The project was initiated by me and a technical collaborator, for the creation of the website and translation to Greek of some material. The project is currently funded by the initiator and the participating artists. I have an ongoing open call and artist submit proposals.
Mission and Objectives

Inspired by current DIY cultural trends worldwide and the need for more artistic visability in places where I have noticed a lack of art, cultural spaces or galleries, I initiated 3 / / / 3 ...three walls on wednesdays... as an open invitation for national and international artists to exhibit their work on three mobile walls that I carry and place in different locations on a weekly basis in the streets of Athens.
It is a collaborative process...artists and the public will activate the walls...organic grown project... open invitation...transportable... moveable...transient...courageous... temporary...new prototype of public art display...non-linear...anybody can access the project...no charge...respond to the space... free invite...people come across art in unexpected places displayed in an unexpected way...DIY space... building bridges of communication with others...visual messages...you just carry it out...flexible...thrusting into the unknown...spontaneous...the physical premise is no longer static...it is time to move the walls!

Main Projects / Activities

Collaboration among worldwide artists, in order to bring their work and display it on three portable walls that I carry to different points in the city of Athens where there is clearly a lack of artistic presence. Every Wednesdays, I take the walls and place them in different points, from 12-8pm I document what happens throughout the day, I then enter and share all the information in the website, as a type of diary. I also speak about the place where the walls were placed and why I selected that area. They idea is to begin a conversation...to get people speaking about what they see.
