Artistic Research Group: Antonis Pittas and Miriam Sentler
On the 26th of March, a new session of the Artistic Research Group will take place at the OMHP in Amsterdam with presentations by Miriam Sentler and Antonis Pittas.
Please note that you will need to register before every session, as the number of seats is limited due to Covid-19 containment measures. You will receive information about that three weeks before each session, together with the materials provided by the participants. This year Maria Sartzetaki (maria.sartzetaki7@gmail.com) will be assisting Paula Albuquerque with the organization of the ARRG sessions, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact her.
