Ioanna Gerakidi & Danae Io: In the Current of the Situation
‘In The Current Of The Situation’ is an email correspondence between artist Danae Io and curator Ioanna Gerakidi. The exchange started in 2017 and lasted over a year, creating a space to voice what could not be said in their daily phone calls. The correspondence is composed of diaristic poems written for their lovers but exchanged between one another. This continuous shift between addressee and the receiver generates a protective distance to articulate their vulnerabilities and examine the erotic. The correspondence has been presented as a performance at Kunstverein Amsterdam in 2018 and is now published as a book by Dolce Publications with contributions in response by artist Jesse Darling.
