and "ALL AROUND ZERO. A SMALL CELEBRATION OF LOSS" ORGINIZED BY STEFAN BURGER

Freymond-Guth Fine Arts has invited 5 gallery artists to develop site specific projects for the lower ground floor at Karameikou 28. The projects are meant to integrate into the given architecture and history of the building rather than being an arbitrary presentation of work in an anonymous exhibition.

Beside of these projects, Stefan Burger will organize a show with the title ‘All around zero. A small celebration of loss’.

The exhibition ‘All around zero – a small celebration of loss’ is situated in an environment between an incessantly swelling global art production and a drastic shrinking process of the Kerameikos district.

The exhibition project assembles current artistic methods as well as some curiosities who all try to name a vague or precise condition between existence and non-existence.

Different approaches of volatility and of dissolution as a phenomenological event are being pursued. The approaches reach from a romantic attribution of disappearance, to coincidental moments of erosion and dematerialization, to the use of emptiness motivated by institutional critique.

ONE PERSON'S MATERIALISM IS ANOTHER PERSON'S ROMANTICISM /A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT BY THE ARTISTS ANTHEA HAMILTON, LORNA MACINTYRE AND RALLOU PANAGIOTOU

The group exhibition One Person’s Materialism is Another Person’s Romanticism is a collaborative project from the artists Anthea Hamilton, Lorna Macintyre and Rallou Panagiotou.

The title of the exhibition One Person’s Materialism is Another Person’s Romanticism is derived from the writings of American sculptor Robert Smithson, and suggests the elusive nature of truth and the pragmatic dichotomy in the experience of time and physicality.

The three artists juxtapose their distinct practices, bringing along with them personal choices of artworks by other artists as well as objects, film stills and TV footage in a way that goes further than being stylistically or contextually precise, but extends to create a landscape of private matters.
