Artist Chen Dongfan accepted an invitation from Greek furniture brand, Coco-Mat, to participate in a public art project in Athens. The 2200 square meter project was based inside of a newly constructed mass dry-cleaning factory with over 100 workers. This was the artist's first visit to Athens, and he faced numerous obstacles such as language barriers, a heavy workload, and limited time. Chen's motivation for participating in his first public art project outside of Mainland China was curiosity - What kind of effect will an exchange of culture through creating art have on the outside world, especially a country like Greece with a such a long history of civilization and culture?
