Projects and Programs of Materialization
(Images from Ideas of an Exhibition)
(Images from Ideas of an Exhibition)
Curator, Texts: Emmanuel Mavrommatis
This exhibition is presented by its curator in conjunction with the first
group exhibition he had organized back in 1976 at the Athens Gallery, entitled
Processes/Systems (Opy Zouni, Michalis Katzourakis, Yiannis Michas, Yiannis
Bouteas, Bia Davou, Pandelis Xagoraris, Nausica Pastra). The idea for that
exhibition was that artistic work consists in the whole of the processes that
it is made of and that it is not simply characterized by its last, apparent and
definitive, visual conclusion. This exhibition (Projects and Programs of
Materialization) completes the reasoning of the first exhibition with an additional
constituent question: how much do the materialization of intentions (the
projects’materialization processes) identify with the intent for them not to
fall short as to the intention or not to be redundant as to the intention – in
the end, how much does what finally happens actually correspond to what was
intended to happen or to what is said about what happens? In contradiction to
the extroversion of postmodernist theories, this exhibition’s curator returns
to the initial and in itself ontological composition of artistic expression:
the relation of a look with a world it aspires to determine.
