The Athens International Art Fair, Art Athina 2007, opens today (preview) and runs till the 3rd of June. “Entr’ acte”, curated by George Drivas and Inspired by Rene Claire’s film of the same name, is a tribute to the roots of the cinematic and to one of the first times in the history of the cinema, when the fine arts and the film world find themselves together.
“Entr’acte” attempts to reinvigorate the discourse of what happens when artists challenge the moving image.
“Entr’ acte” attempts to symbolize the close relationship between art and cinema, video art and the cinematic, between narration and experiment in the moving image production. It tends to represent a steadily growing international inclination in bringing together the overlapping interests that exist between film and art.
“Entr’acte” proposes itself as a work of art, as an act between the acts and as an audiovisual experiment per se.
