Our contemporary societies are constructed around flows: flows of citizens(physical movements or between classes, occupations etc), flows of information, of data, of capital, of symbols, images and sounds. <br />Every time we move or make a movement we can leave traces with or without our knowledge. Either experiencing the above or observing it, movements of people, cars, devices, data refer to something that is the opposite of static. The location might change geospatially, civilly or descriptively.<br />This mobility can leave traces both horizontally (e.g. movements between groups) and vertically (higher or lower scale) and define the identity of the subjects, of their spaces and their "investigators".<br />For some it's about controlling the movements that form the identity and for others it's about researching the diversity and the sources that create it. <br />

<span style="color: orange;">To the limits of “togetherness” </span><br />
<i>Kostis Stafylakis</i><br />
<br />
<i> The idol of this age is community. As compensation for the hardness and staleness of our life, this idea has compressed all sweetness into mawkishness, tenderness into weakness, and flexibility into the loss of dignity. Molded by this idea, what is repressed pushes the phantom of an overstrained heart under a gruesome cruelness. An immeasurable chilling of human relationships by mechanical, commercial, and political abstractions conditions an immeasurable reaction in the ideal of a shimmering community overflowing through all of its supporters.[1] </i><br />
<i>Helmuth Plessner, The limits of community: A critique of social radicalism, 1924.</i><br />
<br />
During the last years the Greek society experiences a revival of collectivities, collective forms of protest, self-organization and participation projects. Especially in the past one and a half years one observes an intense collectivization of life. Interpretations of its causes abound: the growing deficit of representation in the experienced parliamentary democracy, the need of supplementing the forced isolation of a difficult everyday life – supplements for the alienating pace of life, the demolition-loss of familiar spaces of gatherings/meetings/socialization, the loss of working space, the recession of entertainment and the repulsion towards forms of entertainment/relief that dominated over decades; and the Dionysian seduction of the collective protest, the glamour of “autogestion”, the ideological dominance of intellectual schemes for a post-anarchical micro-utopian radicalism, the ritual anathema upon the recent political history, the devaluation of parliamentarism, the “alternative way of life” culture with its oriental extremities verging on and submerging in paths of “wisdom”, the alternative vacations trend posed as anti-consumerism, the abrupt proliferation of electronic social networks, and the “exit” towards rural life. <a href="http://the-symptom-projects.blogspot.gr/2012/09/to-limits-of-togetherness.html" target="_blank">more here</a>vassilis vlastarashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04223787291541819365noreply@blogger.comAmfissa 331 00, Greece38.5276679 22.378152738.5152459 22.3584117 38.5400899 22.3978937tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18434118.post-69100713401349519882012-09-24T21:01:00.003+03:002012-09-24T21:11:08.049+03:00red line<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Να φτάσεις τη μέγιστη ταχύτητα σε μία μηχανή, μέχρι την οποία η μηχανή έχει σχεδιαστεί για να λειτουργεί ασφαλώς. Π.χ.: το αυτοκίνητο έφτασε σε κόκκινη γραμμή στα 80 μίλια την ώρα στην τέταρτη ταχύτητα.<br />

Μεταβατικό<br />
Να κάνεις διάκριση εναντίον κάποιου με το να αρνείσαι να του χορηγείς δάνεια, δανεισμό, ή ασφάλεια.<br />
Να απομακρύνεις ένα μηχανισμό από τη λειτουργική φάση του εξαιτίας μηχανικών ελαττωμάτων ή την ανάγκη για την προγραμματισμένη συντήρησή του.<br />

Το Πολιτιστικό Ίδρυμα του Ομίλου Πειραιώς οργανώνει και διαχειρίζεται ένα δίκτυο θεματικών μουσείων που μελετά, διασώζει και προβάλλει την ελληνική κληρονομιά και την πολιτιστική ταυτότητα του τόπου μας. Τα μουσεία αυτά αποτελούν πρότυπα για τη μέθοδο δημιουργίας μουσείων προβάλλοντας σε κάθε περίπτωση τον ειδικό χαρακτήρα της παραγωγής της περιοχής όπου βρίσκονται.<br />
Το Γραφείο Διασύνδεσης της Ανωτάτης Σχολής Καλών Τεχνών λειτουργεί από το 1997 και στόχος του είναι να συμβάλλει στην αποτελεσματική σύνδεση φοιτητών και αποφοίτων με την αγορά εργασίας και την εξοικείωσή τους με τις πραγματικές συνθήκες εργασίας. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, διοργανώνει εκθέσεις και πολιτιστικά δρώμενα σε συνεργασία με δημόσιους και ιδιωτικούς φορείς για την παρουσίαση και προώθηση του καλλιτεχνικού τους έργου. Παρέχει υπηρεσίες συμβουλευτικής σχετικά με το σχεδιασμό περαιτέρω σπουδών των φοιτητών, καθώς και εξατομικευμένη εκπαίδευση ΑΜΕΑ.<br />

Το Μουσείο, που στοχεύει στην οικολογική ευαισθητοποίηση του κοινού και τη διάδοση της γνώσης για την παραδοσιακή τεχνολογία της περιοχής, αναδεικνύει ζητήματα που σχετίζονται με την αλληλεξάρτηση φύσης, άνθρωπου και περιβάλλοντος αλλά και τους τρόπους «συνύπαρξής» τους στη λεκάνη της Στυμφαλίας. Αυτός είναι και ο κύριος άξονας γύρω από τον οποίο περιστρέφεται η θεματική τόσο του εργαστηρίου όσο και της έκθεσης έργων.<br />
Τα αποτελέσματα σχετικής έρευνας των φοιτητών και τα έργα που προέκυψαν θα παρουσιαστούν από τις 16 Μαρτίου ως τις 22 Απριλίου του 2012 στο Μουσείο Στυμφαλίας.<br />
Στην έκθεση λαμβάνουν μέρος 18 φοιτητές από τα Α΄, Δ’ και Στ΄ Εργαστήρια του Τμήματος Εικαστικών Τεχνών, καθώς και του Τμήματος Θεωρίας και Ιστορίας της Τέχνης της ΑΣΚΤ.<br />
<br />
Οι συμμετέχοντες σπουδαστές είναι:<br />
<b>Στέλιος Κοντζαμανώγλης, Καρολίνα Αλειφεροπούλου, Ειρήνη Ψυχάρη, Αικατερίνη Κατάκη, Μαρία-Κυβέλη Μαυροκορδοπούλου, Rilene Μαρκοπούλου, Ηλίας Πολυχρονιάδης, Μαριλένα Αλιγιζάκη, Κατερίνα Ανδρουλάκη, Νικόλαος Σταθόπουλος, Παναγιώτης Γκρίτζος, Μαίρη Θηβαίου, Αλεξάνδρα Αναγνωστοπούλου, Γιάννης Χατζηπαναγής, Αντωνία Κονταξή, Βασίλης Γκούμας.</b><br />

8-11 July 2011<br />
University of Cyprus<br />
Nicosia, Cyprus<br />
<br />
We announce the presentation and participation of the <b>“Utopia Project Archive”</b> of the <b>Athens School of Fine Arts</b> in the<br />
<b>12th International Conference of the Utopian Studies Society (Europe)</b><br />
During the conference, there will be an ongoing presentation of the “Utopia Project Archive” housed outside the Main Auditorium of the Central University Campus and will include video, a small book exhibit, and selected artworks. <br />
<br />
The <b>Utopian Studies Society</b> is an interdisciplinary society that aims to co-ordinate and encourage the diverse work currently taking place on the subject of utopianism. Its members include people researching literature, philosophy, sociology, history, architecture, politics and anthropology.<br />
The Society was established in 1988 by a group of British scholars, following an international conference on utopianism at New Lanark. It was re-launched, following the "Millennium of Utopias" conference at the University of East Anglia in June 1999.<br />
The special focus of the 12th conference of the Society concerns the intersection between the question of Utopia, crisis, and justice. This year, the conference is hosted by the University of Cyprus and will be held at the University’s central campus. <i><br />

As part of the last days of the Utopia Project Archive 2006 - 2010 <br />
at the Institute for Contemporary Greek Art, in Athens, Greece, <br />
Jim Hobbs, along with Maria Glyka and Vassilis Vlastaras, <br />
will create a temporary installation of works that play off of each other, <br />
focusing on themes of utopias.<br />
<br />
At the center of this will be the first (looped) screening of Utopia/Dystopia, <br />
a short 16mm film, shot on location while Jim Hobbs was a guest artist <br />
at Utopia & Nature 2010 in Reythmno, Crete.<br />
<br />
Filmed in black & white and colour, single frame by single frame, <br />
the film denies the idealistic and bucolic view of the Greek island<br />
and instead frantically shifts between positive and negative imagery <br />
of barbed wire, fences, animal bones, dead plants, transmission towers, <br />
broken bells, abandoned architecture, and disused portals.<br />
<br />
Upon Hobbs' film projection, Vassilis Vlastaras will be playing live <br />
with moving images and pictures creating a link with past Utopias <br />
while among the sound of the 16mm projector and old radio frequencies <br />
Maria Glyka will be singing along Utopias texts.vassilis vlastarashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04223787291541819365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18434118.post-67046946333787220212011-01-22T01:11:00.000+02:002011-02-03T01:15:00.162+02:00utopia project archive 2006 - 2010<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Utopian appetites<br />

<i style="color: #3d85c6;">“There is tenderness only in the coarsest demand: that no-one shall go hungry anymore”</i><br />
<br />
This phrase from Adorno’s Minima Oralia can be considered as emblematic of the way the <br />
question of food appears in utopian thought. The satisfaction of the basic needs of all the <br />
members of utopian societies, the recognition of the importance of the pleasures of the body, <br />
collective meals as mechanisms that strengthen the social bond are among <br />
the dominant motifs of utopian texts. <br />
Around the table of Utopia Project, we are going to talk about the question of alimentation <br />
in the utopian tradition, the contemporary practices of collective kitchens, and how <br />
the table obeys the limitations set by the group that uses it, consenting to the object’s meaning. <br />

Art is often seen and spoken in terms of being environmental, critical and subversive. For the past decades, the natural environment has seen radical changes and has been at the forefront of many contemporary art projects. What is the relationship between art and nature? During the workshop, we will consider different ideas in contemporary art making and theory to examine from varying perspectives the question of art and nature.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">ASFA (Athens School of Fine Arts)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">ASFA annex</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">Evligia Hill, Rethymno, Crete</span><br /><br />Organizers-Facilitators: <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vassilis Vlastaras</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">artist, Lecturer, Athens School of Fine Arts</span> and<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Maria Glyka</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">visual artist, teacher BA & MA Vakalo college of Art and Design.</span><br /><br />Basic timetable:<br /><br />4 July: arrivals<br />5 July – 7 July: artists presentations<br />8 - 20 July: preparation of the work<br />21-23 July: show and presentations of final works<br />24 July: end of show – departures<br /><br />In collaboration with:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Gary Woodley</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">artist and lecturer at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Klaas Hoek</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">artist, head of the postgraduate department of University of Utrecht and head of the printmaking of the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL.</span><br /><br />Guests Professors and artists:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mrs Caroline de Lannoy</span> , <span style="font-style: italic;">artist and lecturer at the Slade School of Fine Art, Byam Shaw School of Art, Central St Martins College of Art - University of the Arts London, and West Dean College.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Jim Hobs</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">visual artist.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dr.Yannis Stavrakakis</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">associate Professor of Political Sciences of the Aristotle University of Thessalonica, </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dr. Fay Zika,</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Assistant Professor of Theory and Philosophy of Art, ASFA.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Mrs. Katerina Gouziouli, art theorist.</span><br /><br />participants artists:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Julia Tcharfas</span> (USA), <span style="font-weight: bold;">Panagiotis Tomaras</span> (Greece), <span style="font-weight: bold;">Giannis Kokkalis</span> (Greece),<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Giorgos Zitis</span> (Greece), <span style="font-weight: bold;">Maria Georgoula </span>(Greece), <span style="font-weight: bold;">Victor Mavedzenge</span>, (Zimbabwe),<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Aglae Bassens</span> (Belgium), <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ryan Riddington</span> (UK), <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kristbjörg Olsen</span> (Iceland),<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Giannis Papagiannakis</span> (Greece), <span style="font-weight: bold;">Andreas Vakalios</span> (Greece)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>vassilis vlastarashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04223787291541819365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18434118.post-31455517539400261292010-06-15T18:39:00.008+03:002010-07-05T22:50:14.712+03:00shelf - An exhibition/exercise in 5th Whitstable Biennale 2010Originally, this exhibition/exercise took place in London March, 2010, with over 50 international artists participating. Each artist had been asked to create a work which deals with, rests on, engages with, speaks about, or actually is, a shelf. For the Whitstable Bienalle, the organizers of this project have expanded it to include the work from various artists in the Whitstable area. The end result will be a new installation where all the artworks will be forced into very tight confines, creating one large conglomerate work with a variety of microcosms within.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisscqtQySX51AcOPzVmfPWgIcn3ssz49uKKY8lWi4uNJXbHFWO5A1E2EONiuq4O_Mdzun_5hR2amY53s6fGMLfYRe_zaBGH8Vqh4_QGRK7o-WduJjb0NoKzbCahSmxkL161PSu1g/s1600/exercise_view02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 369px; height: 369px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisscqtQySX51AcOPzVmfPWgIcn3ssz49uKKY8lWi4uNJXbHFWO5A1E2EONiuq4O_Mdzun_5hR2amY53s6fGMLfYRe_zaBGH8Vqh4_QGRK7o-WduJjb0NoKzbCahSmxkL161PSu1g/s400/exercise_view02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490451573249850370" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jim Hobbs</span>, assisted by <span style="font-weight: bold;">John Butterworth</span>, including<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thorbjorn Andersen, Maya Attoun, Jenny baines, John Bremner, Metod Blejec, Riley Brewster, Zoe Brown, Clare Bryan, John Butterworth, Juliana Cerqueria Leite, Stuart Chubb, Louise Colbour</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj55T_cceixH2HPMRhP0u_jmR0O2aC2BVd13t2vcBMHwSLn3R1ZpMyNmJDWz_25dA92PLnVezEAbtsVOBQYb97PT50MugF8bsuKMuAqWvvWgcwe_gaXZ2pN1sw7wSVk7vTSeUeEaA/s1600/exercise_view01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 369px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj55T_cceixH2HPMRhP0u_jmR0O2aC2BVd13t2vcBMHwSLn3R1ZpMyNmJDWz_25dA92PLnVezEAbtsVOBQYb97PT50MugF8bsuKMuAqWvvWgcwe_gaXZ2pN1sw7wSVk7vTSeUeEaA/s400/exercise_view01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490452340095718866" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">ne, Gillian Daniell, Caroline de Lannoy, Faith Edwards, Sean Edwards, Jamie George, Maria Glyka, Jenny Heishman, David Henningham, Jim Hobbs, Max Holdaway, Caroline Isgar, Tess Jaray, James Keith, Liane Lang, Tom Lomax, J T Lowen, Denis Masi, Morgan Mckeehan, Sara Mclaren, Suzanne Mooney, Rie Nakajima, Martin Newth, Flore Nove-Josserand, Sion Parkinson, Lisa Peachey, Ellie Reid, Hephzibah Rendle-Short, Alex Robbins, Marie Roux, Huan Kuan Sai, Martina Schmucker, Henrietta Simpson, Wendy Smith, Finaly Taylor, Anu Turunen, Vassilis Vlastaras, Ruo Bing Wang, Richard Whitby, Aethan Wills, Gary Woodley</span> plus other invited artists from the Whitstable area<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">Rear of 5 Harbour Street (entrance in Sea Street) Whitstable CT5 1RG</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">Saturday June 19th and Sunday June 20th</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Publication information:</span> <a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1272698">www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1272698</a>vassilis vlastarashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04223787291541819365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18434118.post-79985538578682534442010-06-01T00:25:00.005+03:002010-06-11T00:08:33.125+03:00The “Sotiria” project - Memory and disease in visual arts discourseDuration of the exhibition: from Friday, June 18th until Sunday, October 3rd 2010<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">Opening hours:</span> Tuesday – Friday: 11:00 – 14:00 & 19:00 – 22:00<br />Saturday – Sunday: 11:00 – 14:00<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102); font-weight: bold;">Sotiria:</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Athens General Hospital for Lung Diseases</span><br />Address: 152, Mesogeion av.<br />Information: tel. 210 7751489, 210 7472902-4, www.culturenow.gr<br />Metro station: Katehaki<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">Opening:</span> Friday, June 18th, at 8 p.m.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dy4DrNy3DcbkizlEt25amDTfMNCMWekOh9ugJf4eX61gu5zLwO7I9KQyaPuokSOnBQ1CyMXv3-E4oI' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Αrt in a hospital is one of the most interesting programmes of applying visual arts in public places. Especially in Europe art has in many ways entered the hospitals. But the exhibition in the “Sotiria” hospital is not just an art presentation in the sensitive area of a hospital. The “Sotiria” hospital is a place laden with history and has been the theatre of many stories. It was the first public sanatorium in Greece (1903), created as a result of the 19th century concept of charity. For half a century it functioned as a place of – voluntary or involuntary – confinement for patients suffering of tuberculosis. It has been a typical case of heterotopia, i.e. a place where society used to isolate a specific group of people in a state of crisis – according to that society. During the German Occupation the “Sotiria” hospital was once more connected to the history of the country, through executions of resistance fighters and prisoners’ escapes.<br />This place is at the same time a museum as well as a social place serving a practical purpose even today, since it functions as a general hospital. The audience of this exhibition does not just consist of art lovers, but of the patients themselves, as well as of the hospital’s staff.<br />The art project is going to be realized between June and October 2010 in the “Sotiria” hospital. It is organized by the Athens School of Fine Arts, by the hospital’s administration and the associations of staff and patients.<br />It is a thematic exhibition – the central axis being the history of the hospital – including painting, sculpture, video arts and installations, which will be presented in the open spaces of the hospital, in the auditorium, as well as in a neoclassical building dating from 1915, assigned for this purpose. Co-organizer of this project is the Athens School of Fine Arts, many of the teachers and students of which participate in the project, whereas various work groups of artists have been created in its context.<br />During the almost four months lasting event there will be a parallel programme, in the context of which there will be various congresses concerning the architectural meaning of the place, visual art and music events.<br />This is one of the few times that a visual art event opens up so intensely not only to society, but, what is more, to such a sensitive place as a hospital.<br /><br /><br /><h1 class="title"><a href="http://www.mantoux10.blogspot.com/">mycobacterium tuberculosis</a> </h1>Participating:<br />Adamis Michalis, Aggeliki Avgitidou, Antonis Stoantzikis,Argyrou Michalis, Caesar Vrettos, Christina Spanou, Dimitra Politi, Dimitris Rentoumis, Elena Prifti, Fanis Vlastaras, Fotini Kalle, Katerina Gkoutziouli, Maria Glyka, Polianna Vlati, Victoria Karvouni, Vassilis Vlastaras.vassilis vlastarashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04223787291541819365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18434118.post-70563032487651146642010-03-15T00:40:00.007+02:002010-10-02T16:34:40.217+03:00shelf - An exhibition/exercise organised by Jim Hobbs.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEirvBesJbPD0P3Z4mLMJyTyua-K2nkZU_7MwdYjTT-wQAmurOngDm7DxrG3ydZicsRSDEwit1jiZBfrWgF0DHlzErsdfZTwWAU3VGnr0DCiFe7hDkTa-8PoBh31ceS_vGPGsNHQ/s1600-h/shelf01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 400px; float: left; height: 130px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448623974109273922" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEirvBesJbPD0P3Z4mLMJyTyua-K2nkZU_7MwdYjTT-wQAmurOngDm7DxrG3ydZicsRSDEwit1jiZBfrWgF0DHlzErsdfZTwWAU3VGnr0DCiFe7hDkTa-8PoBh31ceS_vGPGsNHQ/s400/shelf01.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Exhibition:</span> Saturday 27 and Sanday 28 March 2010, 11:00 - 18:00<br />Unit B4S, 4th Floor<br />Copeland Industrial Park<br />133 Copeland Road, Peckam, SE 15 3SN<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Reception:</span> From 18:30 at The Rye Hotel on Saturday 27 March.<br />31 Pecham Rye, Peckam, London, SE 15 3NX.<br /><br />Plus the launch of <span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Shelf</span>, an illustrated catalogue of all participating artists, with an essay by Sion Parkinson - <a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1224479">here </a>for a preview.<br /><br />This catalogue has been published to accompany the <strong>exhibition/exercise, "shelf",</strong> taking place in London, March 27-28th, 2010.

It is an effort to re-capitulate the main historical phases of Greek art’s recent past, whilst continuing our dialogue with the viewers and the artists.<br />The chronological flow of events and the works that are being exhibited allow for a concise overview of the aesthetic pursuits from yesterday to date, which could give rise to profitable discussions, in order to affirm or<br />re-evaluate the accuracy of our choices these last decades.<br />The fiftieth birthday of a gallery, beyond its celebratory purpose, offers the opportunity to critically re-assess the role of private art spaces in the formulation of the cultural idiom of the country.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">ARTISTS:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Νίκος Αγγελίδης Nikos Angelidis • Γιάννης Αδαμάκος Yannis </span><span style="font-style: italic;">Adamakos • Αχιλλέας Απέργης Achilleas Aperghis • Ευγενία Αποστόλου Eugenia Apostolou • Ελεωνόρα Αρχελάου Eleonora Archelaou • Γιώργος Βακιρτζής Giorgos Vakirtzis • Γιάννης Βαλαβανίδης Yannis Valavanidis • Βασίλης Βλασταράς Vassilis Vlastaras • Μαριλίτσα</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> Βλαχάκη Marilitsa Vlachaki • Γιάννης Γαΐτης Yannis Gaitis • Γιώργος Γεωργιάδης Giorgos Georgiadis • Μαρία Γιαννακάκη Maria Giannakaki • Σίλεια Δασκοπούλου Celia Daskopoulou • Ηλίας Δεκουλάκος Elias Dekoulakos • Λεωνίδας Δημακόπουλος Leonidas Dimakopoulos • Τάκης Ζερδεβάς Takis Zerdevas • Λίζη Καλλιγά Lizzie Calligas • Μιχάλης Καλλιμόπουλος Michalis </span><span style="font-style: italic;">Kallimopoulos • Βαλέριος Καλούτσης Valerios Kaloutsis • Λευτέρης Κανακάκις Le</span><span style="font-style: italic;">fteris Kanakakis • Τίνα Καραγεώργη Tina Kara</span><span style="font-style: italic;">georgi • Αργυρώ Καρύμπακα Argyro Karymbaka • Αλέκος Κοντόπουλος Alekos Kontopoulos • Βασίλης Κυπραίος Vassilis Kypreos • Κλέαρχος Λουκόπουλος Klearchos Loukopoulos • Δέσπω Μαγκώνη Despo Magoni • Μιχάλης Μαδένης Michalis Madenis • Γιάννης Μαλτέζος</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> Yannis Maltezos • Τάσος Μαντζαβίνος Tassos Mantzavinos • Κούλα Μαραγκοπούλου Koula Marangopoulou • Γιώργος Μαυροΐδης Giorgos Mavroidis • Γιάννης Μιχαηλίδης Yannis Michailidis • Κυριάκος Μορταράκος Kyriakos Mortarakos • Μανώλης Μπιτσάκης Manolis Bitsakis • Εύα Μπουλγουρά Eva Boulgoura • Χαρίκλεια Μυταρά Charikleia Mytara • Ελένη Μωραΐτου Eleni Moraitou • Κώστας Πανιάρας Kostas Paniaras • Γιάννης Παπαγιάννης Yannis Pap</span><span style="font-style: italic;">ayannis • Άγγελος Παπαδημητρίου Angelos Papadimitriou • Άρης Παπάζογλου Aris Papazoglou •</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> Αιμιλία Παπαφιλίππου Aemilia P</span><span style="font-style: italic;">apaphilippou • Γιάννης Παρμακέλης Yannis Parmakelis • Δημήτρης Περδικίδης Dimitris Perdikidis • Χρίστος Πετρίδης Christos Petridis • Σελέστ Πολυχρονιάδη Celeste Polycroniadi • Πάρι</span><span style="font-style: italic;">ς Πρέκας Paris Prekas • Ιωάννα Ράλλη Ioanna Ralli • Πλάτων Ριβέλλης Platon Rivellis • Κύριλλος Σαρρής Kyrillos Sarris • Νίκος Σαχίνης Nikos Sachinis • Βάλιας Σεμερτζίδης Valias Semertzidis • Γρηγόρης Σεμιτέκολο Grigoris Semitekolo • Γιώργος Σικελιώτης Giorgos Sikeliotis • Γιάννης Σπυρόπουλος Jannis Spyropoulos • Παναγιώτης Τέτσης Panagiotis Tetsis • Σωκράτης Φατούρος Socrates Fatouros • Νίκος Χαραλαμπίδης Nikos Charalambidis • Μανώλης Χάρος Manolis Charos • Γιώργος Χουλιαράς Giorgos Houliaras • Νίκος Χουλιαράς Nikos Houliaras • Σωσώ Χουτοπούλου Sosso Houtopoulou • Αχιλλέας Χρηστ</span><span style="font-style: italic;">ίδης Achilleas Christidis.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">VASSILIS VLASTARAS<span style="font-style: italic;">. </span></span><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"> Casual,improvised prayer space and clinic.

A historical study of youth movements reveals that youth has always functioned as a nodal point of resistance against the socio-political status quo of the day, advancing radical political transformation and social change. This is not to say, however, that all youth mobilization has a progressive orientation; on the contrary, it has also been lured by utopias of exclusion such as the Nazi Utopia of Racial Purity. Hence, the workshop will deal in depth with youth creativity and youth violence, will examine the role of youth subcultures in social and political mobilization, focusing on both the creative as well as the destructive dimensions of youth activism.<br /><br />6th Painting Studio ASFA (Athens School of Fine Arts)<br /><br />Organizer-Facilitators: Vassilis Vlastaras and Maria Glykavassilis vlastarashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04223787291541819365noreply@blogger.com
