six d.o.g.s is a day & night cultural entertainment center at the heart of Athens (Monastiraki), which organically combines each one of its elements: a Project Space (non-profit space for presenting visual art projects and other likewise one-off events), a Bar, a Café, a Gig Space for hosting live gigs, theatrical performances, bazaars, workshops, talks, screenings, and educational programs, and a vivid 600m2 Back-Garden. six d.o.g.s is not introduced as a new space, but rather, as a new model for a space. It is suggested as a space which aims at creating a high-profile dynamic nucleus of cross-genre activities right in the heart of the Historic Center, initialized by an equally dynamic experienced group of young art professionals, aiming at being both avant-garde and pop, sharing similar qualities. It is open from 10 in the morning till late in the night, daily, serving a wide range of local goodies, special cocktails, and home-made delights, all in a price-friendly package. One of the most dynamic Athens-based architectural offices has re-designed the whole space, Point Supreme Architects (http://www.pointsupreme.com/). The conversion occurred with the minimum of means and no additions, using smart low-budget ideas, re-using items already in the spaces before their conversion.
Thanks Jo for recommending...
