(To build) A (Temporary) Home

A series of ad hoc, unstructured, collaborations, borne of a serendipitous online meeting of two restless minds in search of a spark.

Pseudo-manifesto: 

  • A change is as good as a break
  • One person’s work is another person’s escape
  • Good things come when strangers meet

The Vasilicos fleetingly turns ‘temporary home’ for artists in need of escape. (If you are one of them, we would love to hear from you)
