In 2019 Outset Greece supported the group exhibition titled Happy Days by Ilke Gers, Phil Goss and Thomas Willemen at Snehta.
Happy Days was an exhibition in two parts, borrowing its title from one of Samuel Beckett’s most playful works (1961). Far from nearing this unsettling glimpse into the existential abyss, the exhibition adopted the ambiguity of the play as a method to frame the diverse artistic practices of Ilke Gers, Phil Goss and Thomas Willemen. The artists presented new work, the result of their artistic research in Athens (Gers, Willemen) and Piraeus (Goss), which encompassed a variety of media—including installation, drawing, print and sculpture. Instead of striving for reciprocity and interconnection, Happy Days attempted to ascertain whether these singlenesses are irreducible, offering varied doses of play and unexpected configurations.
