"Forbidden Fruit" is a research on the narrative that results when the white cube space ceases to be a means of exhibition, but a stage that is designed and transformed to produce stories along with the artworks. The playfulness and the possibility of failure are at the heart of our curatorial process and of the invited artists’ practices. Therefore, we embrace the idea that the artworks we decide to present are not shown in their best light and we accept not to meet the white cube expectations.
Forbidden Fruit, one-day exhibition curated by niccolas (GR) & Yel K. Banto (CH) at PS:Communitism, Athens in June 2022
with Barbora Lepší (CZ/GR), Captain Stavros (GR), dakrya (GR), Juraj Černák (DE/SK), Markéta Skalková (CZ), Nikos Tzoufas (GR), Soni (GR), Thanos Dedes (GR)

EMPATHY is the result of a collaborative research that started in Athens 2022 with Hannah Doepke. Through the experimentation with a semi-transparent mirror foil we found an analogue procedure that allowed us to merge our bodies into a single one live and to experiment on the influence that we had upon each other.
