Koshiro Onchi was the most important figure in the ‘Sosaku Hanga’ movement from 1918 until his death, outstanding as a print artist, photographer, book designer and active as a poet, founder and editor of magazines, an author on the subject of prints, art and literature, a leader and organiser of societies and encourager of other artists.

In The Current Of The Situation is an email correspondence between artist Danae Io and curator Ioanna Gerakidi. The exchange started in 2017 and lasted over a year, creating a space to voice what could not be said in their daily phone calls. The correspondence is composed of diaristic poems written for their lovers but exchanged between one another. This continuous shift between addressee and the receiver generates a protective distance to articulate their vulnerabilities and examine the erotic. The correspondence has been presented as a performance at Kunstverein, Amsterdam in 2018 and is now published as a book by Dolce Publications with contributions in response by artist Jesse Darling.
