Das Esszimmer - Raum für Kunst + mechenstrasse 25, D-53129 Bonn | www.dasesszimmer.com Cut the Fence Cut the Fence is an bblackboxx in Basle initiative of the Swiss artists Copa & Sordes and the art space (CH) launched 2013, to spread the idea of cutting down the fences in refugee politics. is presented in the context of Platforms Project @ Art Athina, 2016 by the non-profit, artist-run art space Das Esszimmer from Bonn (GER). Art Athina generously supports the project presentation in Athens. Cut the Fence The art space bblackboxx is situated nearby a refugee camp and deportation center in Basle (CH), where refused refugees are imprisoned, expecting their deportation. The art project Cut the Fence is opposing this practice. A copy of the 657 meters fence, surrounding the camp and the deportation center, was printed with a specially designed fence pattern on 657m African damask1 fabric. By inviting everybody to cut the fence, the project postulates the symbolic destruction of not only the fence in Basle, but of every fence, built to prevent refugees from entering other countries. During Platforms Project 20 meters of the fabric fence can be cut in exchange for a donation. 100% of the raised money is going to the charity organization Solidarity with Greece (dt.: Solidarität mit Griechenland), supporting, grassroot healt-centers in Athens and other cities in Greece, where locals and refugees receive free medical treatment. One of the founders, Anina Jendreyko, will be present during the opening of Art Athina on May 26, 2016.
