Phenomenon is a biennial project for contemporary art held in the Aegean island of Anafi, Greece. The second edition took place between 3-16 July 2017, and included a residency with performances, lectures, video screenings and other events, as well as an exhibition throughout the island (exhibition opening 8 July).
According to Apollonius Rhodius’ “Argonautica”, the island was named Anafi because Apollo made it appear to the Argonauts as a shelter in a dark night, using his bow to shed light (the name Aνάφη is derived from ανέφηνεν, "appeared”, the same root as phenomenon). INVITED PARTICIPANTS
Ignasi ABALLI (artist), Grégory CASTERA (curator), Paul FEIGELFELD (media theorist), Dora GARCIA (artist), Mario GARCIA TORRES (artist), Lenio KAKLEA (choreographer/dancer), Margaret KENNA (anthropologist), Chrysanthi KOUMIANAKI (artist), Julien NEDELEC (artist), Christodoulos PANAYIOTOU (artist) |
