21/9-third day-maķes you wonder

so there came the third day of this endeavour I think at this point it is needless to add any words. just see the recent two videos on my YouTube channel. Since I am not able to provide you with the link right now, just use my website to take you there www.myartinaction.yolasite.com Once on my channel, you may check all the playlist 'tea on the balcony 'with what has happened up to the 21/9.


           \comment on the photos below(which also give you a hint what is in the videos eventually)

the first two photos refer to some volunteers I happened to meet later on the third performance day  while being in the center of Athens on my way to the Biennale in order to watch a projection hoping to understand how a fine artist and performer like myself could get involved in social activity.

The third photo is me on the balcony  earlier the same day,trying to realize what is this tea on the balcony that I am proposing.What is the difference between my art proposal for performing on the balcony and the work of the volunteers?

should fine artists and performers and theater directors and.. you name it  simply become  volunteers or are volunteers merely artists, and all?

21/9/'16
οποτε  ήρθε  και η τρίτη μέρα της περφορμανς. Νομίζω ότι περιττεύουν  τα λογιια Δείτε τα δύο βίντεο. 

οι δύο πρώτες φωτογραφίες  εινα ι από το πρωτο βίντεο,   κάποιοι  εθελοντες που  έτυχε  να συναντήσω  πηγαινοντας στην μπιεναλε της Αθήνας, απέναντι από  την Βαρβάκειο αγορά συγκεκριμένα , για να δω μια προβολή σχετικά με συνεργατικά πρότζεκτ σε γειτονιές για να καταλάβω τι ρόλο μπορούν ενδεχομένως  ναι  παίξουν  εικαστικοί στο συλλογικό πεδίο
Στο δευτερο βίντεο (απο οπου και η τριτη φωτογραφια),  ειμαι πάντα εγώ στο μπαλκόνι προσπαθώντας  να καταλάβω τι είναι αυτό το 'τσάι στο μπαλκόνι' που προτείνω. 
Ποια είναι η διαφορά της εικαστικής μου πρόσκλησης και του έργου των εθελοντών; 
Μήπως οι εικαστικοί πρέπει να γίνουν εθελοντές  ή  οι εθελοντές να θεωρηθουν εικαστικοι; 
μπορείτε να δείτε τα δύο βίντεο στο κανάλι μου στο YouTube  στο οποίο θα μεταφερθείτε από το website:www. myartinaction.yolasite.com

18/9/'16- second performance day -tea on the balcony

hello, and guess what?
After experiencing the second day of the performance 'tea on the balcony', there are more thoughts coming to me, especially since no people have showed up yet to turn this" pondering upon', into an enjoyable party time which usually happens when people gather on occasions like this. (which might be ok too, but... ).
The point is : where does an invitation like this stand politically?
It is easy to condemn quickly a move of this kind as apolitical. But if we think as people living in Greece, even Athens, and not in the middle of Germany or England on a rainy day, it is most likely that one will find oneself easily in front of the lovely sea with a cup of tea or coffee in hand on a sunny day.
He or she may be experiencing severe financial problems, but most likely will be facing them in the above described manner. So, that's where we start, in my opinion. (even people that cannot afford two euros to go and two to return from the place where the balcony is situated can always engage with a friend with a car or motorbike  to include them in the ride on a Sunday afternoon, providing they are willing to combat their negativity overall).
more as it comes....

tea on the balcony- 14/9/'16, first day performance

OK, this is a first impression I got from materializing my idea.
Since there were no visitors,  I used the time to think about this initiative of mine.
From my understanding, in a performance there is always involved an element of entertainment, so that's why photos, videos and media will be encouraged.
Now, further than that though, the purpose of making the spectators leave their comfortable seats and try crossing the line to the other side of the performer-spectator equation is  perhaps that of seeking to understand and realize something  which otherwise remains hidden.
More on this as it goes
