Softwear
Soft textures, dreams, thoughts, emotions woven around the architecture of the body
There is a time to abandon the clothes that already have the shape of our body,
and forget our ways, the ones that takes us to the same places.
It is time for the crossing, and if we do not dare do it,
we will forever be at the margins of ourselves.”

Softwear is an exhibition curated by Alexandros Maganiotis, where soft textures, affiliations, dreams, thoughts and emotions are woven around the architecture of the body, rather than the computer. Softwear is constructed around the material presence of the body and of strings loosely attached to it, in a constant attempt, at the end of the day to re-design ourselves. Twelve artists are invited to negotiate and explore this concept of software and suggest new body structures or patterns using as medium fabrics or clothes.
Participating artists: Anneta Spanoudaki, Claudia-Maria Luenig, Eleni Theofilaktou, Eozen Agopian, Evdokia Kyrkou, Petr Shevchenko, Sally Heard, Iakovos Volkov, Kostas Lales, Maria Kokkini, Yiota Apostolopoulou, Alexandros Maganiotis.
Curated by: Alexandros Maganiotis
