Radio Athènes

Radio Athènes, founded in 2015 by writer and curator Helena Papadopoulos, is a book project, a showroom, an exhibition space, and a curatorial practice. Flexible, independent, nomadic, interdisciplinary, Radio Athènes works together with emerging, established, and under-recognized artists from around the world to present exhibitions, lectures, screenings, and readings in the fields of contemporary art, literature, philosophy, dance, and the applied arts. It is dedicated to new ideas, and experiments with new models of exhibition making. Recent projects include the archiving and contextualization of the work of Bia Davou and Pantelis Xagoraris, Greek artists working in the 1960s, largely unknown outside our geographic coordinates; the creation of www.radioathenes.tv, a site serving up a collective experience to dispersed viewers, in collaboration with designer David Reinfurt; and Always Starts with an Encounter: Wols—Eileen Quinlan (co-published with Sequence Press), a book reflecting on two artists from different centuries that have been exploring the material boundaries of the photographic process.
