For its opening Kritamon Oracle will convene a diverse group of international visual and performing artists and musicians from multiple backgrounds who will present a dense program of interventions and live performances in various indoor and outdoor locations in Marathokampos on the Greek island Samos.
An oracle describes at the same time the event, the message, the person, the place and the magic of cumulating circumstances. In relation to time and space, from ideas of beauty and destruction to future-uncertainty Kritamon Oracle will activate stories as well as envisioned ideas, floating between the actual artistic production and the very sensitive reception of our present time.
Kritamo is a wild succulent plant which grows along the rocky coastlines of the Aegean and thrives in the reach of spume. It is aromatic and rich in Vitamin C. In the same way as Kritamo finds suitable grounds to grow on roughest surfaces, site-specific interventions and performances will emerge in the village of Marathokampos. Hybrid formats of art, interventions, sculptures and new media works will be melted with local discoveries, references to Ancient Greece, Pythagoras‘ mathematics and the flora and fauna of Samos.
Kritamon Oracle is the first public project and thus the first visualization of Wild Mountain, an international artistic-philosphic discourse community in Marathokampos.
