I discovered the existence of this small mag. around in 2009. Most of the artworks (70%) have been made in 2001 but the mag. was printed in 2006. The abandoned place is the very known chemical factory Diana in Thessaloniki. The reason it was made is the wall from the protagonist of the movie The Seven Samurai. It was printed by the municipality of Stavroupoli in 2000 copies. Some small poems are included too. This is the only one that is left.
Few days before the 2nd lockdown i was invited to participate in an exhibition called ''Adraneia''.The show would last only three days so afterwards the owners would start the renovation of the building for a new hotel.The show postponed but luckily i had the keys so i could go inside the building.These are the interferneces i did in the spaces but only the first one was included in the exhibition.The show opened its doors secretly for six days due to the restrictions.
Here is a video from the art project and a website.
Thank you Krank and Okupa Hotel
I visited these buildings with Anna Dimitriou last year in Oktober. The buildings were already looted and there were some graffiti. Even if they are not in the zone of the old airport of Athens I guess they are part of it. There is a plan since 2013 for development in the area and just recently the government announced the demolishion of some buildings. But I wasnt sure which buildings they were so I went for a quick visit couple of days ago. There are still a lot of things and few walls are intact. Hopefully next year I will do some stuff there before its completely gone.
