STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND
ΑN INVITATION BY ALEXANDROS TZANNIS IN COLLABORATION WITH GALERIE UTOPIA
The exhibition titled Stranger in a Strange Land is an international group show operating as an archeology of the future.
Borrowing its title from the science fiction novel by American author Robert A. Heinlein that explores the interaction with—and the eventual transformation of—Earth culture, the show is creating an illusionary atmosphere between past present and future.

THE BREEDER
NEWS OF TODAY: DIE FEELING
The Breeder is pleased to present Gabriel Vormstein’s first solo exhibition in Athens. Newsprint is a principal element in Gabriel Vormstein’s work as the background image of his paintings.
The traces of time characterize the aesthetics of this material and at the same time allude to content wise references. In Gabriel Vormstein´s works newsprint remains an index of already passed events of the day and at the same time becomes alienated by its “new” presence as an art piece.
Emphasized by different adapted styles and symbols, the paintings as well refer to disappearing and upcoming cultural periods of time. In this sense the past is attached to the present.
