Second Athens Biennale

Sunday evening I went to a couple of free concerts held within the bounds of the second Athens Biennale. They where held along the Athens coastline of Palaio Faliro. It's an interesting part of Athens. You have the sea - and even a couple of sandy beaches where people swim -, you have pedestrian paths and cafeterias and playgrounds and marinas and you also have the tramway separating you from the littoral main road. I didn't take my bulky camera so I ended up taking photos and videos with my mobile. The turned out suitably crappy, but I'll show you them anyway.

First we saw Larry Gus, who set himself up in a children's playground in Batis and played weird electronic noise to a setting of barking dogs and young children climbing over him or stealing his toys.




Afterwards we went a little further, where St Peter gave us wings so we could go into the enclosure and see The Tree of Wisdom and The Holy Ghost (a dove) - otherwise known as My Wet Calvin. At the end of the live the enclosure was torn down and we made our way with our wings to Floisvos.
                       




At Floisvos we saw the Lumiere Brother play hunched over his keyboard, under the sparse light of a single streetlight.




The finale were The Flakes, a classic indie group with two guitars and a girl singer.
