Art Athina - Restart

Well, i arrived late on Wednesday and managed to whisk through the galleries and go down to plan A to see the exhibition I syhroni elliniki skini curated by Nadia Argyropoulou. It was an interesting exhibition, however, it seemed the space needed 3-4 more works and the bands in the beggining after Alexandros Psychoulis (artist and his band) they were a bit weird...I was impressed by street artist Zoe's work, it was an installation on a wall that had a lot of texture much more rich in material and more impressive than her cut-out works that i saw at at 666 exhibition in Gazi last January.
Also Dimitris Ioannou with his huge colourful cubes, an idea made out of a real game very much in the style of Rubik's cube, was a very good work, although the audience didnt realise very much they should and could play with it but not sit on it!!!!!
Very interesting works by Ioli Syfaraki, with her patterns of little mazes, forms, lines all in different colours on the floor creating something like a small city looked down from a bird-eye view, as well as Rosina Baltatzi's works, little square drawings with the name's of all participants of the exhibition stuck randomly on the floor.
Other interesting works by Loukia Alavanou, Angelo Plessas, Diamantis Sotiropoulos, Andreas Kasapis.
Will be visiting the exhibition soon so you ll have an update by the end of the weekend of the other shows by curators Sotirios Bahtzetzis and Artemis Potamianou, as well as the galleries and especially the Russian ones.
