Christopher Page turned some of his paintings into crates that will accompany him on his journey from Piraeus, Greece to New York. The works made their way from Page’s studio in Athens to a small fishing boat that shuttled Page and the crates onto the ship that he is now traveling on. Maayan Strauss accompanied Page during his midnight boarding and took some photographs of the process.

Below are a series of photos Page took during his journey from Piraeus, Greece to New York.

About

Following a trip on a container vessel from Israel to New Jersey in 2011, I conceived of the Container Artist Residency. As part of the project, I facilitated, through a long chain of emails, calls, WhatsApp texts, and the funds obtained from a shipping line a residency at sea for seven artists (eight to be exact, as one of the artists was a duo). This website stand alongside the website dedicated to the first edition, and is meant to record and present the process of producing the project, as well as continuing a conversation with the different contributors who took part in the residency. With the goals of realizing further editions in the future, it will also host the records of the anticipated continuation of the project.
