 PETROSPHERE

PETROSPHERE is an exchange between 5 artists based in Glasgow: Ruth Barker, Helen de Main, Niall Macdonald, James McLardy and Ciara Phillips; and 5 artists based in Athens: Antonakis Christodoulou,Vassilis H, Margarita Myrogianni, Aliki Panagiotopoulou, and Kostas Sahpazis, working across the media of sculpture, installation, performance, works on paper, printmaking, photography and video.

All 10 artists will develop new work specifically for the Galini Hotel, Athens. The exhibition extends beyond this appropriated gallery space through live performance, video screening, and a flyposting campaign, responding to the specific built, political, and artistic context of the city.

Both Glasgow and Athens maintain an energetic presence in the international art world, and are respected as artistic hubs with a strong sense of community, innovation, attitude, and confidence. PETROSPHERE consolidates these links through exchange; bringing together different practices and perspectives to create a voluble, fluent, even contrary artistic dialogue, rooted in the specificity of the physical places that the artists occupy.

THE NON-EXISTENT HAND

CURATED BY KOSTAS SAHPAZIS

The Non-Existent Hand show is a compilation of personified rough or processed gestures.
 Their artists, supported by an ever changing chaotic neighborhood on the background, rely their pieces on the correlations a simple hand gesture may take. The pieces test various ways: sometimes they hide their origin, other times they move their origin into a parable. Sometimes they are literal. They all try on different idiosyncratic formulas to involve materials and narrative.

THE BREEDER

TIME WILL NOT GIVE ME TIME

HOPE Is a street artist and has stood out with his interventions at the streets of Athens, which are posters that he has printed and put on the walls. A diverse compilation of elements and imagery from different ancient civilizations and subcultures are collaged together in large scale totemic assemblages.

While most of HOPE’s works are two dimensional, they usually give out the illusion of having three dimensions. His practise is multi faceted and apart from posters and collages, also includes performance, works on canvas and fanzines. For his project at Remap he will create new site-specific works, that will be in direct dialogue with the building and the area of Metaxourgio and Keramikos.
