ARTWORKS collaborates with Enterprise Projects and supports the making of the upcoming EP Journal issues commissioned to some of SNF ARTWORKS Curatorial Fellows.
EPJ x ARTWORKS collaboration begun in March 2023 with the publication of the 7th EP Journal entitled EUPHORIA written by SNF ARTWORKS Curatorial Fellow 2019, Mare Spanoudaki.
Panos Fourtoulakis, SNF ARTWORKS Curatorial Fellow 2021, was the next writer for the 8th EP Journal. EP J8 was out with the title NEVER ENDING ENDS and was published in October 2023!
The 9th EP Journal FLOATING IMAGES was written by Ioanna Zouli (SNF ARTWORKS Curatorial Fellow 2020).
ARTWORKS collaboration with Enterprise Projects was culminated through the release of the 10th issue of EP Journal entitled ‘The Curator as Artist (as Curator) A Draft Toward New Modes of Studio-Based, Visual (Curatorial) Practice’, written by Akis Kokkinos, SNF ARTWORKS Curatorial Fellow 2022.
The essay EUPHORIA was written amid lockdown, during the recent pandemic, and it refers to practices of dance and music as forms of “spring” that release our mental and physical euphoria and, as a result, contribute to the collective search for social change, empathy and solidarity. Specifically, it focuses on three cases characterized by erotic, Dionysian and underground elements, which are directly related to the subversive and therapeutic treatment of social, political and existential challenges and crises, as well as the creation of communities. These cases are the Vlach Wedding of Thebes, the actions of Oistrogones and finally the film S W E A T (2019-2020) by Vera Chotzoglou.

Enterprise Projects
Enterprise Projects is an Athens-based project, run by curator Danai Giannoglou (SNF ARTWORKS Curatorial Fellow 2019) and artist Vasilis Papageorgiou (SNF ARTWORKS Visual Arts Fellow 2018). This venture aims at experimenting and conversing; experimenting with the curatorial proposal, artistic creation, self-organized function, and conversing with the local artistic scene, the Athenian audience, and the very place that houses the project. As a structure, Enterprise Projects has been functioning independently and periodically since September 2015 in Ampelokipoi, Athens.
In 2018, Enterprise Projects founded EP Journal, a publishing initiative in the form of an online publication of newly commissioned theoretical and research essays, in both Greek and English. The reader can browse through the journal online, and download or print individual issues, communicated by a design that resonates with each commission’s subject matter.
