ReMap3: an international contemporary art platform, Athens, Greece




12 July – 30 October 2011




Kerameikou 32 is a nomadic public art project exploring the relations between


art and globalised public space.




As urban spaces throughout the world become increasingly privatised for a


multitude of commercial uses, this project considers how mobile arts practices


can encourage experimentation and contestation within the public


realm. Utilising a truck fitted out as a gallery and performance space,


Kerameikou 32 imagines a new kind of roving‘institution’; a model for


rethinking the overlap of politics and art.


This project builds on the success of BUS Projects’ recent public art


intervention Critical Mobility and forms part of the 2011 program of


ReMap3 in Athens, Greece. The Kerameikou 32 truck will be stationed


at 32 Kerameikou Street for the duration of the opening week of ReMap3


(12 – 19 September 2011) and will feature work by Australian artists


Kay Abude, Ros Bandt, Michael Fowler, Agatha Gothe-Snape and 




Dylan Martorell.


The fit-out for the truck has been designed in collaboration with Athens-based


architects Beth Hughes, João Prates Ruivoand coordinated by


Vassilis Oikonomopoulos. At the conclusion of opening week, the


architectural fit-out will remain as a free-standing installation.


Kerameikou 32 has been curated by Melody Ellis and Nella Themelios


on behalf of BUS Projects. BUS Projects supports and promotes the


experimental fields of performance, sound art and spatial practice. In


addition to its core exhibition program, BUS Projects is committed to


operating outside of traditional gallery contexts, developing exhibitions,


 events and performances off-site and within the public realm.
