Contemporary Art Showcase Athens (C.A.S.A.) is a cooperative group from Athens, Greece, initiated/run by artists for the purpose of creating and maintaining an autonomous platform for the communication, production, and discussion of a range of artistic processes. The activities of C.A.S.A. involve curation of exhibitions and festivals, organisation of seminars and workshops, & contextualisation and facilitation in the development of individual and collaborative projects.
C.A.S.A. aims at cultivating environments that support novel, horizontal, unilateral interactions, and discourse, while pointing to the increasing role of grassroots structures in the facilitation of emerging art.
Since its inception in 2014, C.A.S.A. has collaborated with organizations, groups, and venues on various projects, both locally and abroad.

The flag is the collective acceptance of an emblem or symbol. Here, the artist uses it to represent merely his presence in the space. Performing the monumental moment of the raising of a flag and imitating stances from iconic paintings and photographs (from the Russian revolution, French revolution, Gay Pride, Indignados movement etc.), he attempts a gesture void of meaning and symbolism, an oxymorous symbol of today.
