EQUIVALENCES
Under the title "Equivalences", concepts initially seen as opposites such as order and chaos, nature and technology, ideas and lived experience, the urban and the natural environment, memory and the unwritten void, the body and the its limits, bridging and creation tools are reworked. Connections are thus proposed that, with their poetic and political dynamics, concern more direct ways of social absorption and reach.
The Horror Vacui group was formed in Athens in 2017, from the desire for dialogue and joint action of eight artists (Annita Argyroiliopoulou, Andreas Vousouras, Charalambos Dermatis, Antigoni Kavvatha, Andreas Lymberatos, Evsevia Michaelidou, Varvara Spyrouli, Martha Tsiara). The group's actions, through a variety of practices – drawings, installations, sculptures, videos, photographs and in situ environments, focus on the dialectical relationship of the works with the exhibition spaces themselves, mainly historical and industrial – raising questions about memory, social history and their identity.
Artists: Annita Argyroiliopoulou, Andreas Vousouras, Charalambos Dermatis, Antigoni Kavvatha, Andreas Lymberatos, Evsevia Michaelidou, Varvara Spyrouli, Martha Tsiara.
Performances: Athanasia Tsopanargia, Athina Kanellopoulou, Angelina Papachatzaki, MASH (Nerisisty & Christos Kapenis) .
