The exhibition “The place is bewitched” is part of “Local infection of the cosmopolitan,” the open street fair of the Athens Commercial Triangle.
Contemporary artists from Greece and abroad present their work in locations that are less often explored, along with musical events, performances and slam poetry readings that create a modular tour of the historic Athenian Triangle.
The place is bewitched

Ten artists from Greece and abroad respond with their own narratives and interpretations.
Artists: Dimosthenis Bogiatzis, Vasilis Galanis, Orestis Karalis, Markellos Kolofotias, Dimitris Kontodimos, Marilena Kranioti, Elio Samaras, Stratos Sterianos, the Krank, Andreas Vembos.
