Love Memetics
In a cynical age all love melts into magma.
We focus on the topic “Love memetics”, in a period when social life is under a halt and self-isolation finds its creative outlet in consuming and producing online creative content. The topic will be approached through the areas of feminism, post-colonial critique, psychoanalysis and the significance of art labour.

The magma.residency is an online residency taking place every four months. As a response to the current conditions caused by the global pandemic, this residency is a way to bring artists and creatives together at a time when physical contact is restricted and people feel more and more isolated. Tthrough a series of discussions, workshops etc. the residents will exchange ideas, practices and their personal viewpoints to this unprecedented event.
|
Our programme includes talks by invited artists writers curators, own work presentations among the participants and a series of discussions on our topic love memetics. We hope the programme will encourage exchange of ideas and cross-pollination of work among participants. We anticipate interesting hybrid visual-written works to come out of such an attempt, with participants coming from various backgrounds of practice. During their time at the residency, they will each develop a new work, in close collaboration with Athanasios and Ioli, which will be shown on the magma online platform.
