KEIV ATHENS 17-19 SEPTEMBER | Krama Festival
Krama is a music festival aiming to present a new outlook within the Athenian
independent music scene, bringing together free improvisation with experimental
electronic and contemporary classical music. To realise this idea, Krama invites music
acts across borders to perform and explore their commonalities through an
alternative aesthetic discourse. Krama activates new resonances between
independent artists and groups from across Athens and Europe.
This year, in the light of the current circumstances, Krama Festival will take the form
of a 3-day sound installation exhibition in collaboration with UN P R 18T
(Un.Processed Realities).
‘Krama’ sound system designed especially for Krama Festival 2020. It visualizes the
values and ideas of the festival. The sculpture appears as a dyadic operator. The
minimalist metal structure as a divine, totemic form is immobilized and frozen in time.
Geometric and strict it reflects the stability and robustness found in a work based on
rules and structures.
On the contrary, its organic form is in constant movement, and seems to transform in
time and space. Its need is to enter dynamically, and transfigure the archaic structure
with intuition as its guide.
This hybrid being out of these two principles will express its existence through
speech and music. inox, ceramic, plaster, paper clay, wood clay, wood, bioplastic, recycled
