CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
Shots for an unrealized dream sequence. A. captures the beach in a bottle and confronts the commodification of her smile.
For each edition, the artist's invitation is a carte blanche. Although the artists rigorously do whatever they want, without any filter or validation imposed by the sponsors, the format and technical characteristics remain the same every time: an inkjet vertical print on heavy, matt, A0 paper (printed by Martin Granger in Montreuil). Whether the artists are famous or not, the sale price of these editions is the same for all of them, star rabbits [lapins] and lousy ducks [canards] receiving identical remuneration (60%). Lapin-Canard being an artists' initiative, the association's members obviously look out for the best interests of image actors, making sure that the financial terms of these editions are favourable to them above all, even if the sums involved are always modest.
