One of the most interesting booths of this year's ART-ATHINA (15 - 18 May 2014) was that of the Out of the Box Intermedia (P7). The non-profit interdisciplinary arts organisation presented for the first time in Athens, a solo booth show by artist Andrea Geyer and her work "Three Chants Modern" curated by Dr. Sozita Goudouna. This work was commissioned by The Museum of Modern Art, New York and was made possible by MoMA’s Wallis Annenberg Fund for Innovation in Contemporary Art through the Annenberg Foundation.

The booth also had showed works that interacted with Three Chants Modern by four women artists: Sofia Housou, Aspasia Kouzoupi, Hara Piperidou and Christina Sgouromiti.

Dr. Goudouna in her note for the exhibition says "How can one rethink time? How can one rethink its form, authority and structure? How can one consciously recognize ideology and politics as embedded within the organization of time itself? What would it take to break open the existing structures that hold power over time – to release time by calling on history to reveal itself to us in new ways?"

"Abby Rockefeller, Lillie P. Bliss, Mary Sullivan ( MoMA) , Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Hilla Rebay (Guggenheim) , Helen Clay Frick, Katherine S. Dreier ( Société Anonyme) founded the institutional pillars of Modernism in New York City. Women wrote, painted, curated, organised, drew, danced, sang, protested and raised money. The financially fluent supported those with a cause. They met in and across Salons, exhibitions, on boats out on the Atlantic, in speakeasies, at dinner tables, in bars and on the street. It was their work that allied them across class separations and cultural background. Futurism, Political Reform, Feminism, Cubism, Birth Control, Blues and woman’s right to vote linked them inextricably together in one of the most exciting and creative moments of the 20th century. Yet Three Chants Modern doesn’t simply offer a revisionist history of the Modernist project but an insistence that the tireless work, spirit and convictions that drove these women to create a cross- pollinating and far reaching network across art, politics, education and social reform remains present wherever we closely look today. The works invites to rethink time, to discover it as a non- linear presence and potential that continuously surrounds us."
