    In »Post Kollisionen« Sofialena Xezonaki takes Anestis Logothetis's score for »Kollisionen« (1970) as a starting point in order to create a sculptural installation. Using diverse materials (foam, wood, cotton and everyday objects) Xezonaki invites visitors to move within the space and confront a series of unexpected spatial possibilities.

    In »City Replica Souvenir« Alyssa Moxley attempts to re-imagine and enact Xenakis's unrealised proposal for an »Athens Polytope.« Following a detailed, handwritten draft found in the archives of KSYME, she will orchestrate an assemblage of foley sounds made in real time, and field recordings. The work explores the connection between Iannis Xenakis’s spatial Polytope compositions and the urban diagrams, also found in the archive, created by KSYME co-founder Ioannis Papaioannou as part of architect Constantinos Doxiadis's Human Community study of Athens in the early 1960s.

    The reconciliation of tradition and modernity, seen through the prism of the life and work of composer Michalis Adamis, informs the live performance that Savvas Metaxas has put together for Chronotopia/Echoes. Sourcing original music by Adamis and using modular synthesisers, tape machines, and samples, Metaxas seeks to re-interpret the pioneer composer's oeuvre and illuminate aspects of his music that are still relevant today.

    These premieres are followed by live performances by Berlin producer Nene H, and Athens-based artist Morah.
