As 2016 is coming to an end, 3 137 artist-run-space, attempts to approach art practices from the recent past, beginning with personalities and questions that prevailed in the 1970s. The series of meetings, speeches, projections, artworks and exhibitions of archival material entitled After the explosion…you hear the light will take place on 9-11 and 16-17 December 2016.

The first part of this series (9 -11 December), consists an exhibition of works by artists that were active during the 1970s and a new work designed specifically for the exhibition by Aris and Theo Prodromidis, to a dinner at Taverna Lefka, a number of meetings between older and younger researchers and artists, and also to projections of archival material from this era.

In the second part (16-17 December), the exhibition withdraws and a small archival collection takes its place. Presentations and thematic meetings will examine the artistic actions and writings of this period, while an orchestrated roundtable discussion will explore the idea of the museum and the role of institutions, beginning with the work Hypothesis for a Museum of Contemporary Art by sculptor Theodoros. This two-day event concludes with a new work by Yorgos Sapountzis, which will be the end-result of a workshop inspired by the sculpture of Stathis Logothetis.
