concept: strategies of small shifts

sirtartara | publication

date of publication: 16/7/2012

a whirl of people, animals, objects at the moment they cross the town to set up their circus.

achilles nasiadis’ collection of short stories, grabs the reader by the hand and offers him a mixture of maddening versions and perverse urban fairy tales.

unlocking secret doors that lead in all kinds of unexpected meetings, metamorphoses and confessions, sirtartara reveals a slightly shifted universe, a world hidden in the moment between the opening and the closing of one’s eyelids and, at the same time, it composes the most sarcastic and tender critique of human life.

rooster @ granule act_1 + act_2

athens urban fabric, 2011 – 2012

the visual artist rooster through his work granule renegotiates our relationship with the cityscape. using the persistence of an archivist and the methodology of an urban planner, rooster selects integral pieces of the city’s architecture and he modifies / repairs them, intending on a mild visual intervention on the cityscape.

the evaluation of uniqueness for every spot (historical, cultural, economic, etc.) in combination with the use of a non binding technique for each one of them, creates an exclusive comment / intervention on the relationship between human and urban environment.

addressing on the relocation of resident’s / observer’s point of view, rooster actualizes small “weirdnesses” betting that either for a second either forever is possible to change the perception about what is familiar and the conviction about what constitutes the personal and communal history of people’s everyday life.

GEOGRAPHIES III / Debord Geography

first presented @ Arteles Creative Center, finland, november 2011

the Geographies, stage installations of landscapes and incidents, are part of an on-going project whose fundamental aim is the creation of uncanny portraits. the Geographies Project is always in progress, and presents the audience with an attempt of mapping singular traces and a construction of strategies regarding that which has not take place yet.

the 3rd part of the Geographies Project, Debord Geography, is about the construction of a hybrid which combines the performance and visual arts with the essay.

a non – performance and un – installation as a “thesis” into a diverse world.

a visit in a raw fun – fair.

starting from guy debord’s face, an artwork which explores the possible existence of a debordgeist nowadays along with its prospective effectiveness, is designed.

this weight / this distance / this time

athens urban fabric, august 2011

a performance / travelogue on athens urban fabric.

for a whole week dinos nikolaou was crossing the city’s streets, carrying a unique object for every day.

objects without usefulness go provocative into orbit / flow into the stock market of infinite objects, words, actions which are founded exclusively on the horizon of their consumption.

fragments from a dialogue about the uniqueness, the ability of selection and the difficulty of freedom.

at the end of each day the artist presented on the web videos, images and notes from the travelogue, constructing a gesture art, elegy on homo urbanus and on the small, imperceptible shifts of social and urban consistency’s
