December 1998: Creation and foundation of C3A or Contemporary Art Archive in Athens, a private, non-profit initiative to support young Greek artists by spreading information and establishing contacts abroad. C3A solicited contributions for Manifesta 3 by its artists through a letter addressed to them, ‘Confession of a Belgian in Athens, Greece’, and initiated the subsequent participation of Nayia Frangouli (in collaboration with Yane Calovski – see Manifesta 3 catalogue entry). Upon the opening of the gallery, the contents of the archive were donated to the Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art, Athens.
