It was a piece that the public was invited to walk into and touch. For a minimum of 300 kroner, visitors could take one of the hands home. All profits from the show went to improving the living conditions of the refugee families at the deportation centre Sj\u00e6lsmark.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”14622″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Visually, the installation conveys an idea of protest and resistance, and I have drawn a lot of satisfaction from the fact that the art piece was more than just commenting on the situation and raising awareness. It was activated and was having direct positive consequences.<\/p>\n

For Wa(l)king Copenhagen, I have decided to continue to explore blurring the lines between an activist practice and an art practice.\u00a0<\/span>My work will consist of a 12-hour performative walk during which I will be raising donations for Together We Push, an organization working to improve life at Sj\u00e6lsmark.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since the closing of \u00abPower Bottom\u00bb in October, the sculptures have been up for sale in Copenhagen Contemporary\u2019s shop. Since the beginning of the worldwide health crisis, the donation sales have stopped, and the museum is still closed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I will depart from N\u00f8rrebro at noon with a backpack filled with as many sculptures as I possibly can carry, and my route will create a web in-between the home addresses of the people who will order a sculpture, eager to make a donation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the day progresses, the weight on my shoulders will get lighter, enabling me to walk further away from the centre of the city. Depending on the amount of orders, there will be a time when my walk will head towards the airport through the coast after I am done with deliveries.\u00a0I will install different installations in nature with the remaining fists. Both the coast and the airport are meaningful as borders. The beach as a physical border, the airport as the ultimate constructed border.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Following me online that day, you will learn more about the project, hopefully getting to meet some of the people making a donation who would be willing to share their thoughts, and you will see video documentation of temporary installations in the public space.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I encourage anyone who would like to donate and get a sculpture delivered to their door (or someplace else) to reach out to me preferably in advance, already from now, or spontaneously on the day of the walk. I can be reached through instagram (@louka_anargyros) or via email (loukaanargyros@gmail.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The sculpture will be delivered to you on the day of the walk with absolutely no obligation to appear on camera or to even meet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let\u2019s do this together.<\/p>\n [vc_separator type=’normal’ position=’center’ color=” border_style=” thickness=” up=” down=”]<\/p>\n 12.00 h <\/p>\nDOCUMENTATION JUNE 24<\/strong><\/h2>\n
