2004-2008
Action Field Kodra
Action Field Kodra is an annual visual arts festival that takes place in a former military camp in the area of Kalamaria in Thessaloniki.
Between 2004-2008 Christos Savvidis undertook the festival's Artistic Direction and ArtBOX.gr was in charge of the General Coordination.
During those years, the festival underwent major transformation and became one of the most important and vibrant visual arts events of international acclaim in Greece, having as main focus the communication between the local and the international arts scene. Towards this end, its programme included collaborations with greek and international artists, curators and institutions. Its main programme included the actions RoomsToLet (young artists exhibition) and ProTaseis (exhibition of mid-career Greek artists) - through which a lot of currently significant Greek curators and artists emerged.
Action Field Kodra hosted also the Forum Artists-in-Residence Programme (F.A.R.) - one of the few serious attempts to establish a residency programme in Greece. More information on F.A.R. here.
