"Don't wait! Get prepared to survive today!"

This evening I payed a visit to the exhibition "Survival Kit" at Gallery Genesis in Kolonaki and had the chance to meet some of the 23 participating artists.



Survival Kit is an exhibition designed for a time and a city - Athens - in extreme crisis. How to survive in our intimate environment and the outside world. Iris Kritikou, curator, and Yiorgos Tzaneris, gallery owner, have chosen the artists for their inventive spirit and humour, their creativity in handling ideas and materials, and for their personal "survival" proposal they put forward. 
So let me show you some works of art in photos.
