Art Will Save Us

With: Petronella Grönroos, Polyxeni Angelidou, Chrystal Glass, Jasmin Grimm (Art Will Save Us), and Guest star: Dimitris SavvaidisReality starts with stories. There is a great deal of truth even in the most fictional ones, because trough them we reflect who we are and what is our relation to others and to our current times, we can heal the past or envision our future. CIRCLE #1 provides an infrastructure for storytelling, promoting it as something that contemporary people could do. It suggests a communitarian use of the exhibition space, based on the collaborative creation of stories. The stories are oral. For Art Will Save Us CIRCLE #1 will be activated digitally, and will be a parallel event in conjunction with the exhibition Performing the Fringe currently running at Konsthall C in Stockholm. Participatory part will start at 19.00 and public performance will start at 20.00 CET. Valentina Karga’s work operates between art, design, research, and architecture.
