SELL-OUT! (2018)

The embedded contradiction of being an art duo that criticises art institutions and institutionalism in Greece while often working/collaborating with those institutions has interested and haunted FYTA since the beginning of the duo’s formation. This performance, which took place at the Athens School of Fine Arts as a closing act for its yearly performance festival ASFA BBQ, consisted of songs that were made of haters’ slurs, self-doubting thoughts, the meaning of art and art markets, multiple levels of irony, post-pop stardom and participation by a number of special guests, as well as the audience itself. The project remains open as the songs are *officially* unrecorded and may reappear somehow, somewhere.
