‘The glow part 2: gravity regimes is based on a project by VALINIA SVORONOU started in 2015 during a residency on a greek island called Evia.
The exhibition currently on view at the art venue Frankfurt am Main, includes sculptures, videos and wall works which revolve around the phenomenon of island raves. According to the press release, ‘the title takes its cue from the dead glow sticks washed up on the island’s shores. Often construed as the abandoned accessories of island partygoers, these objects belonged in fact to the island’s navy border patrols, becoming a signifier where the idyllic insouciance of a summer beach party and the harsh reality of the migrant crisis collide’.
The first part of this project was entitled Imported Schemes and was presented in Athens in collaboration with the Greek curatorial project Radical Readings in 2014.
The glow pt. 2: gravity regimes by VALINIA SVORONOU has been curated by RACHEL WALKER, The exhibition is on view at Frankfurt am Main, Berlin until September 11, 2016.
