Occupy Atopos #The_Dreamer exhibition opens in Atopos cvc on the occasion of the International Museum Day on May 18th. While participating in the Occupy Atopos artist residency The_Dreamer redefines the UNLOCKED exhibition and its subject through his distinctive, colorful, pop style and transforms the Atopos cvc building into his personal dreamland. Using the aluminum offset printing plates of the UNLOCKED publication as his canvas the Greek artist attempts to remould the premises of Atopos cvc with his unique artistic approach.
