NEON PATHS

“The exhibition “Echoes of Silence” is being presented in a renovated neoclassical house in the historical district of Metaxourgeio, an empty abode that awaits its residents. The installation mounts a playful yet strange game with the building’s identity as an abode, as a house in which something is not quite right on the domestic front. The works posit uneasy questions and threaten the household bliss and calm with weird surprises…”

Artists: Pierre Huyghe, Sarah Lucas, Hans Bellmer, Robert Gober, Louise Bourgeois,Nikos Kessanlis, Rosemarie Trockel, Sherrie Levine, John Bock, Fischli & Weiss, Joseph Beuys, Sofia Kosmaoglou, Mark Bradford, Helen Chadwick & Juan Muñoz

Curators: Douglas Fogle and Dimitris Paleocrassas [link]

'The Queue'

Nikos Kessanlis is one of the protagonists of the 'Mec-art' movement of the contemporary realism of the 60's, well known outside Greece as Nikos. 

The originality of his approach consists in the re-structuring of the bi-dimensional image using industrial photo-mechanic procedures. 

Nikos refuses the passive and static perception of his works. The Phantasmagorias of the identity and the Anamorphoses in three dimensions imply the active participation of the spectator.
