An idea by Natasha Papadopoulou and the subsequent dialogue between her and Sofia Stevi during the post-referendum Greek crisis.
Curated by: Jelena Seng

The summer 2015 in Athens changed perspectives in Europe and ideas about our position in the world. The Greek people were asked to vote Yes or No in order to determine the course of the country’s political and economic future. It is now September and it seems Europeans have once again lost faith in politics and its ability to come up with positive solutions. A coming together at Parallel Vienna proposes creativity and solidarity as energising alternatives to assure that Europe can work - by supporting each other and introducing new perspectives. In satirical terms the presentation of this group of Greek artists, corralled and controlled as they are by their German art dealer friend, pokes light-hearted fun at Angela Merkel’s position as head of the Troika, and at the same time draws attention to the very serious nature of the said Troika’s crippling policy of economic austerity towards a Greece hurtling towards bankruptcy. Within this presentation at Parallel Vienna the playful endeavour of creativity is foregrounded with individualistic brio. Each artist utilises colour as a guiding motif of self-determination, and perhaps emancipation, whilst the ironic pantomime villain, the ringmaster art-dealer, playfully fictionalizes German economic power; more authoritarian Nero of Rome than virtuous Solon of the Aeropagus. Indeed, the origins of democracy may lie in Athens, but it is here at Parallel Vienna that a micro political world is realised with Aristophanic comedy, within a very real and ultimately consumer driven art market.

Show : 83%SatisfactionGuaranteed

Where : Louise Alexander Gallery, Promenade du Port, Porto Cervo, Italy

When : 26 June - 24 July 2015 


The title of this exhibition says it all: 83% Satisfaction Guaranteed. What does it mean to be so close to feeling whole, to feeling happy—but not quite at 100 percent? In what way is ‘satisfaction’ not just a goal, but a socio-cultural metaphor? The idea of satisfaction here operates as a vehicle for capitalism, existing as a media-infused corporate substitute for intimacy as it relates to the construct of desire within the public arena. ‘To be satisfied’ is both a statement of satiation, connoting completion and finality, but is also one steeped in the generic as it borrows from a language of the institutional, inherently mediocre and therefore, paradoxically, eternally dissatisfying. Thus such a statement is simultaneously about being whole and also being hungry for more. Are you happy—are you happy enough?

This publication showcases an easily overlooked byproduct of artistic production: the painter’s rag. In its hybrid role between object, image, tool and trash, the painter’s rag documents the painterly work process, and functions as the painting’s counterpart, freed from any intimation of deliberateness. With color reproductions of 39 vivid painters’ rags and essays by Sophie Jung, Hanne Lippard, Christian Struck, and Cecilia Valenti.

The winner of the prize receives €10,000 and their work will be exhibited at the Kunsthalle in June 2015. The museum is grateful for the generous funding of this project provided by the H.W. & J. Hector Foundation, whose donation of €50 million also also supports development of the new Kunsthalle building. This year the competition returns to the roots of the hector prize. The selection panel of art college professors, curators and art critics identify eligible artists, who are then invited to submit an application. From this short-list, a five-member jury will announce the prize-winner at the end of 2014. In 2009 and 2012, the hector prize widened the competition to include a new award for an artist who is already established on the international art scene. With the reduced exhibition space at the Kunsthalle due to the construction of the new building, the prize in 2015 will concentrate on promoting and displaying the work of an exceptional young artist. Previous winners are Martin Schmidt, Florian Slotawa, Gunda Förster, Albrecht Schäfer, Benjamin Appel and Hannes Broecker.

The Wiener Art Foundation presents Stelios Karamanolis, Tula Plumi
and Pavlos Tsakonas in
PARALLEL VIENNA 2014
www.parallelvienna.com

Opening: September 30th, 18:00
Duration: 1-5 October, 2014
Where: PARALLEL, Altes Zollamt, Schnirchgasse 9, 1030 Vienna, Austria

With over 200 national and international artists and over 20 different galleries, project spaces and artist rooms, offers an insight into divergent artistic positions and contemporary art production. This year, the platform for contemporary art is located within the spacious premises of the old customs office in the third district, which offers a unique framework for innovative modes of exhibition, trade and purchase – immediate and on the cutting edge. Parallel Vienna 2014 channels urban flows of contemporary art production, offering insights into the diverse creative hubs of the city of Vienna. The platform is a cultural node and an experimental zone. A meeting point for subcultural concerns and high quality artistic matters. Parallel lines run alongside one another, never crossing or touching, yet they form a loose alliance. In a collective undertaking of unlimited contributors, they may eventually intersect.

Parallel Vienna 2014 occupies a niche between emerging and established art practices and assembles a variety of art initiatives – artist associations, selected galleries, artist run spaces, rooms curated by project initiatives, as well as individual artists – under a single roof. Parallel Vienna exposes and takes action; it includes, rather than excludes.

Parallel Vienna 2014 defines itself as a kunsthalle, an art fair, an art gallery and a (public) studio. As a meta-organisation, translating the do-it-yourself principal into the infrastructure of an art institution, the exhibition platform administers itself: It becomes a site for the exchange of new ideas; a field for experimentation towards self-professionalisation.

Parallel Vienna takes place at the same time as the
Vienna Fair (2. - 5. 10) &
Vienna Design Week (26.9. - 5.10.)

A group exhibition at the ACG Art Gallery
organized by the Department of Visual Arts and Art History and
curated by Sotirios Bahtsetzis

The exhibition SelfConscious features the works of artists who explore how technological media have become a significant part of our social and psychological lives. Advertising media, Broadcast media, Digital media, Electronic media, Hypermedia, Mass media, Multimedia, New media, Social media … the catalogue is long and prolific. However divergent they might be, they all have something in common: they influence not only what we do, they also shape our thinking and feeling. In this post-human era of vast digital archives, and technologies of interactive networking and communication, consciousness, affect and even identity have to be thought in a new way.

Artists presented in the exhibition SelfConscious explore, in divergent paths and various media including painting, sculpture, photography, digital imaging, video, installation and performance, in what way our novel audio-visual technoculture constructs sociability, memory and even desire.

Stelios Karamanolis – An artist without a concept is like a traveler without a road map

The exhibition consists of oil paintings depicting people in natural sceneries and intents to reveal vague narratives through an ambiguous storytelling. Excursions in forests, gatherings around the fire, matches hanging out with people and bizarre wooden horses compose the pieces of a story which takes place in the woods. The overall exhibition focuses on matters of orientation; people are going somewhere, getting lost or trying to find their way. Travelers without road maps are like artists without concepts, wandering around and exploring new places.

Shortly before the completion of its permanent home, EMST is shifting its focus to the young generation of Greek artists. Afresh exhibition highlights the closure of EMST's first significant period that counts already 13 years and the beginning of a new promising chapter in its permanent location.

Main aim of the museum's exhibition policy since the beginning has been to bring out the most vibrant, progressive and innovative domestic artistic forces, while enabling the opportunity for artists to create new works of art. Afresh exhibition explores our future in an international environment, presents the new questions posed, showcases these emerging artists as they gain momentum.

A systematic and thorough research that lasted about two years has proceeded. Starting point was EMST's open invitation to the artistic community in an attempt to map the new generation that resulted in the collection of over 1000 portfolios of Greek Artists.

Born in the 80s (from 1979 to 1990) these 34 new artists and the members of 3 artistic groups have just completed their studies and started to make their first steps in Greece but also in international art centers such as London, Berlin, Vienna, Cologne, Amsterdam, Manchester.

More than 60 works will be displayed (installations, drawings, video, performance, sound installations, paintings), out of which 27 are works made especially for this exhibition.

The participating artists are opening in new interdisciplinary fields in order to give a fresh approach to materials, concepts and artistic practices in times of crisis and economic recession. They critically comment on the current politico-economic reality, they confront recent history; they bring back issues dealing with the portrayal of symbols and monuments of our cultural heritage. They establish open and ambiguous narratives that often start from personal experiences. They utilize digital technology as a raw material and explore the culture of the Internet giving a critical insight at its role.

Representatives of a generation shaped by (and from) the intangible digital technology, they are brought up with the new consciousness of co-creation, collaboration, diffusion of knowledge and information. They create collective and participatory communities; explore contemporary issues related to the new economy and production processes, labor, sustainability, autonomy and alternative ways of living.

The Afresh exhibition brings us closer to the enchanting and living side of artistic creation, the very moment that its vocabulary is being constructed, deconstructed and re-tried, where experimentation and doubt are a pivotal point in the quest for artistic identity.

Duration: June 20 - July 20 2013
Where: Vouliagmeni Nautical Club, Lemos Vouliagmenis, Vouliagmeni


For their exhibition at the Vouliagmeni Nautical Club, Arbit City Group created four large scale wooden perforated sculptures that they painted over, in the subject of personalities that related their name to the sea and shipping. The sculptures are portraits of writers and poets like Joseph Conrad and Andreas Embiricos, following the group's idea of creating role-models depending on context, space and occasion. The works are placed outdoors, letting the special sunlight of the area pierce them to form the portrait through light dots like a photographic raster. Unexpected combinations of portraits like the one of Jacques-Yves Cousteau with Mitch Buchannon or the one of Jules Verne with Captain Haddock realize cohesion conflicts and counterpoints referring to the history of literature and pop culture through the prism of the sea and navigation theme.

Arbit City Group is a visual artists group which consists of: Krini Dimopoulou, Dimitra Dimopoulou, Natasa Efstathiadi, Manolis D. Lemos and Yiannis Mouravas. It focuses mainly on issues relating to public space and the collective unconscious. It was formed in Athens in 2011.It has participated in group exhibitions in Athens and Thessaloniki like Action Field Kodra in 2012 and the 15th Biennale of the Mediterranean in 2011 and has realized numerous permanent public interventions in the Democretian University of Komotini, in Avlonas and in Athens.

Lustlands was first organized as A Family Noir under the Sun, in a farm at the area of Thermissia in Argolida, Peloponnese, in June 23rd, 2012
Between January 22 and February 16, 2013, Lustlands was beamed to New York where it appeared as LUSTLANDS (a family noir under the sun : the N.Y. rematerialization) at Family Business in Chelsea.

Lust was examined first as the wild and remote lands suggested by the title and romantically reconsidered by the crisis ridden Greek youth; then as the valuable energy source that allowed for the unusual transporting overseas dictated by the hard reality of tight art budgets.
Found in abundance at the much condemned South, lust is reconsidered this year on board of The Great Eastern, a seminal and radical work of Greek Literature written by writer, psychoanalyst and photographer Andreas Embiricos (1901-1975) between 1945 and 1951.
Comprised of 642.000 words in 8 volumes, The Great Eastern is a fierce erotic-political utopia that references Fourierism, the writing of Marquis de Sade as well as Jules Vern (who actually conceives his Une Ville Flotante within the other book) and a great number of writers and thinkers of the 19th and 20th c. and was published only between 1990-1992, raising major criticism. In this magnum opus of a novel, the New World is the destination, the steamship of the title is the floating paradise of free eroticism, and society is reimagined as the innocent and fair kind of co-existence that this freedom can only generate. Inexorably repetitive in the narration of the sexual gyrations The Great Eastern is also characterized by the contradiction of its formally polished style, and almost archaic language, an idiom into which European 'classics', was translated in Greek in the late 19th century.
Work of "the heights and the depths" as Embiricos himself used to describe it, distinguished by its cosmopolitan spirit and intertextuality, The Great Eastern was curiously criticized as being "pornographic" and "delirious" as well as "boring", "annoying", " wearisome", even "frustrating". Very few can claim to have read all of it.

Lustlands, Vol.II - On The Great Eastern (after Andreas Embiricos) , as organized in the Peloponnesian family farm, on June 4, 2013 is a small step on investigating all of the above by means of thinking, acting and enjoying in a collective -or not- level. Things, events, low-fi gigs, country-side sculptures and rural installations, performances, projections, food and drink will be present:
Lustlands, Vol.II - On The Great Eastern is a work in progress where love, lust, desire, boredom, ennui, revolution and the politics of co-existence are examined in vitro.

Snehta stands for the name of the city of Athens but written in reverse. The title symbolically suggests that resident artists are to rediscover Athens and furthermore Greece by translating, reading it reversely or alternatively.

The residency aims in creating a dialogue with the social, material, aesthetic and architectural infrastructure of the city by taking into account historical, psycho-geographical, contemporary and traditional factors that have formed it.

Artists are called to use the local dynamics and characteristics of the Athenian environment whilst bringing along their own inherent interests and inclinations.

We are looking for experimental practitioners who will challenge the norms.

Snehta is a creative platform where solutions can be fostered as Greece encapsulates problems which are inherent to many western countries. Greece and specifically Athens are good examples of manifested societal, economic and cultural issues.

In Snehta solutions and new ideas can be discovered in order to surpass societal taboos and problems. Artists are advised to be people who challenge their practice and that they must believe that art is a way of improving the world.

The Residency program fosters creativity and activate artists into making work for a larger audience. Artists are advised to use the city and think outside the white cube. The Residency will try and accommodate specific projects after thorough discussion with the residency director and curator.

For almost five years the Appartment project was one of the hubs of the Berlin independent art scene. But now, after two years of hibernation APPARTEMENT will return for a one-off blast:
With the exhibition and re-installation of the original interior at Atelierhof Kreuzberg, APPARTEMENT RE-INSTALLED will bring together a selection of art, people and music of that time! If you were there then, you probably know the artists and remember the energy: 2007, when people thought Neukölln was a small-town in West-Germany and Brunnenstraße was considered the center of the global art world. Now we have dusted off the furniture for one last time, found the candles and dug up the old rum recipes.

Exhibition:

Within the flexible limits of archival art today, Archive Public practices archival art as intervention in public space, questioning the dominant hegemony and allowing for possibilities of solidarity actions. It aspires to the creation of a broader productive collaboration network triggered by two theoretical research assumptions and an open body of works which tries out archival interventions in conflicting urban situations, in Patras and other european cities.



The first phase of the work developed theoretical propositions and art projects in Patras, Greece. It was realized with the support of the C. Carathéodory research program at the University of Patras. An edited volume, Archive Public. Performing Archives in Public Art. Τοpical Interpositions, documents this first phase of the project, and is available from Cube Art Editions.

The book includes theoretical hypotheses on archival practice in contemporary art, art works that were specifically created for the project, as well as an anthology of essays by contemporary thinkers who elaborate on particular issues of the archive in relation to the public sphere and theories of democracy, the notions of institution and instituting practice, interventions in the shifting urban condition, the philosophy and archaeology of media as well as the global flows of migration and media. Interventions focus on the urban and social condition of Patras, as it is influenced by a translocal dynamics which produces interrelations with other localities.

When:	Saturday 29 September 2012 4.00 - 6.00 pm
Where:	Christina Androulidaki Gallery 42 Anagnostopoulou Str Athens  10673 Greece

Hosted in Athens has invited groups of artists and collectives of different background and nationalities to present their activity in various buildings in the center of Athens through a series of events and exhibitions.

The project intends to articulate and organize its potentials in the area of the historical center of Athens and to involve public and private venues that can host its program in the means of hospitality.

The project seeks to advocate the local art scene and to introduce the work of international artists to the broader Athenian public. To provide the conditions for dialogue and collaboration between groups, communities and individuals and to establish connections between the cities involved emphasizing on the essence of networking and collectivity.

The participatory groups will be able to display their joint collaborations, shows and events in the context of a broader perspective that includes artists, curators, institutions and host venues.

The aim of the project is to underpin the importance of collaboration, the individual participation and the exchange between different art scenes and to indicate new ways of working that embrace the values of exchange and hospitality.

Hosted In Athens is organized by DL Projects.
