TIME TAKES TIME
workshop 5 - 15 September 2019.

Time Takes Time was a momentum around paper & words with a focus on the processes, materiality, touch and smell of prints, letters, inks and stained fingers. Time Takes Time connected Greek and international artists and designers for a moment of co-creation within various workshops and print studios around the city of Athens. It took place within strong local-global interconnections and sought to weave between them a relationship and a possibility for tuning-in. Time Takes Time operated as a creolization of points of views, techniques, skills, and imaginaries, not to be seen as distinct entities. It merged layers of technologies from print ambrotypes, fax machine thermal ribbon, up to 3d printing and algorithm data poetry. Time Takes Time aimed to combine diverse intimate feelings and subjective relations to the city of Athens through the lens of printed matter as to let waves of resonance emerge between alternative but complementary processes of work.Time Takes Time organised city walks through its interconnected workshops and spaces as to allow the various processes to be experienced by the public. Each walk was max 4 hours.
