| April 29th, 2008 marked the first installment of TALK20:Athens, which was generously hosted by the Cine Theater on West Hancock street. With the assistance of I.C.E., I brought together ten individuals, each working in creative fields, to present their work and research in TALK20 format. Each presenter was allotted 20 slides in a Powerpoint presentation, with 20 seconds timed for each slide. Each presentation was 400 seconds long. Through this format, these individuals were able to form connections with an audience through their research in a fast-paced structure that eliminated hierarchy, and opened new dialogues between potential collaborators. |
| Presenters/presentations were as follows: Joshua Bienko – “Objet Petit a: 2 0 I S B E T T E” Sophie Howell – “The Functionality of Art as Therapy” Rob Peterson – “Athanasius Kircher: The Search for a Unified Understanding of the Unseen” Meredith Bridges – “Baskets to Plastics” Kate Schoenke – “Chocolates in her Greenhouse” Darin Beasley – “Ladies and Gentlemen” Bart Lynch – “Steam Plant” Sean Mills – “ART X, The Birth of the Multi-Screen” Jennifer Hartley – “Our Town” |
| The second installment of TALK20:Athens was generously hosted by the Athens Institute for Contemporary Art (ATHICA) on October 19th, 2008. The remained the same, and this time the presenters were as follows: |
Samuel Barry and Marie Porterfield - "The Ant Lion in the Sun" |
| The third installment will be sometime in the Fall of 2009, and aims o throw the net extremely wide in terms of interdisciplinary participants. Interested in participating? Contact me. |
