> The Workshop

Zoumboulakis Galleries, 20 Kolonaki Square
Organised by locus athens

"The Workshop" presents the projects produced by children in a series of workshops organized over the last year in five different schools, both public and private, in different areas of Athens. The workshops were organized by locus athens in collaboration with the artists Nikos Alexiou, Costas Bassanos, Nikos Markos, Maria Papadimitriou and Alexandros Psychoulis. Each artist introduced his/her work to the school children and together they worked on either a large scale collaborative project or on smaller more personal gestures.

At the exhibition locus athens' latest publication will be launched following on from these workshops. "A Fantastic Book - of Contemporary Art for Children" introduces the five artists that took part in the workshops, each one emblematic of a different strain of contemporary thinking, to children of all ages. The book contains ideas for projects to be tried out at home as well as show casing some of the projects already carried out by the five schools that hosted the workshops. It is the first book of its kind published in Greece.

The book can either be ordered from locus athens www.locusathens.com or from the books publisher Kaleidoscope www.kaleidoscope.gr.
