The
exhibition "Giatrakou 28, The neutrality of
this section is disputed" brings together closely associated artists who have been exhibiting their work in selected international shows. This exhibition comprises mostly new media works, as well as painting, sculpture, photography and performance. Most of the works are new, specially made for this show. The title of the exhibition derives from the exhibition address and the Wikipedia heading when the featured article may contain controversial opinions on subjects that often carry an abundance of viewpoints and criticisms. This exhibition brings together a selection of works that directly or indirectly address this issue of neutrality with scepticism, irony, indifference or sympathy. Often, artists view their work as offering a neutral POV, while the audience disagree. The position of a piece in a “neutral POV dispute” does not necessarily mean it is biased, but that it offers the possibility of interpretation in another way. The exhibition space is an abandoned Athenian house, where windows and other openings have been blocked with bricks for security, creating a blackened out ambience. Dark is the required environment for the new media and the show deals with this given obscurity, treating the light as an additional piece in the space. The exhibition is curated by the visual artist Margarita Myrogianni and organised by project manager George Kyparissiadis. |
