The coincidences fall on me. Or is it the other way round;
THANOS STATHOPOULOS The History of Music
Alexandros Psychoulis is preparing a new installation in the gallery a.antonopoulou.art. An exhibition with one single work. A huge wave.
A wave that breaks into the room.
Alexandros Psychoulis narrates. "The coincidences can only teach you. This means that you try to build a coincidence.
"I try to remember a huge wave splashing at the dock. This picture returns to my memory, namely in the present, but it remains still without offering to me the possibility of a prominent observation. I see it from the point of view that was once offered to me at the dock of Volos.
"I had never seen such a picture of the wave. My retina did not play a significant role in that case. Some experiments in a virtual environment were crucial. The final picture was born in the dark. From results and logical conclusions. Like the picture of a dream that we try to remember when we are awake".
Alexandros Psychoulis builds a situation of fluidity and doubt, a coincidence, by contrasting it with the sense of safety and the stable construction that represents a house, the room: a black, weaved, domestic wave. Just against it, he makes and places a seat: the point of view (or revery), which is an integral part of the situation he represents. It is like a part of a dream, picture, memory, nature, shape, age, facture, fear, word, reason, realization, immobility, mystery, uncertainty, material, structure, home are related to a repeated manual work. Kilometers of cord are slowly weaved and evolve in the three axes of the territorial reality. This attempt requires a lot of time, but anyway you need time to understand a wave that splashes on the dock.
The exhibition is curated by Thanos Stathopoulos.
The exhibition begins without opening, on Wednesday, March 11th 2009, due to the limited number of visitors allowed.
