Athanasios Argianas
1976, Athens. Lives and works in Athens |
| Athanasios Argianas’ work is the product
of commissions and
collaborations, and it often creates ways of layering authorship.
He also produces music as “Gavouna” on the English record
label Melodic.
Proposal For a Mobile Plateau is a piece of furniture, a case hosting
an essay as well as a CD compilation.* It contains a P.A. system
showcasing the CD compilation, while through the incision on the
left side, one can read the essay “Musique d’Ameublement”
by Erik Satie printed onto a cylinder.
Proposal For a Mobile Plateau functions as a sort of nomadic object,
residing in one space and then another, informing and entertaining
or
disrupting the environment it inhabits.
*The CD is a sound project compilation curated by Moritz Wissel
and published under the Cologne/London based Smoothrooms collective.
In the “Music for Furniture” musicians and artists were
asked to make work responding to the phrase ‘Music for Furniture.’
