Musical performance

May Roosevelt, is a Greek composer, producer and thereminist. Born and raised in Thessaloniki, May Roosevelt took to violin lessons at the age of twelve. Nine years later her violin was replaced by the theremin, one of the earliest electronic musical instruments. She began performing with various bands in Greece and also recording her own music using theremin, synthesizers and electronic beats. In 2009 she released her debut EP 'Panda, a story about love and fear', followed by her self released album 'Haunted' in 2011. In April 2013, she released her third album, 'Music to the poetry of Ntinos Christianopoulos'. Influenced by artists like The Residents, Massive attack, Bach, Bjork and Clara Rockmore but also from Greek traditional music and Byzantine chants, May Roosevelt's electronica has been characterized as haunting, dramatic and mysterious.

• Two Pages project
Exhibition
Mon 4 Jul - Sun 10 Jul
Tabya

 

Two Pages is a series of sketchbooks shared by artists, illustrators and designers around the world. The sketchbooks build a chain of creatives who inhabit the same city or place. Each sketchbook holds a different theme allowing each author to generate spontaneous, raw and responsive mark making.
Two Pages is centred around the recording, spreading and exchanging of ideas which takes place throughout the hand-to-hand journey of each book. The handmade marks are intricately linked to the place from which they came, both on a local and global scale.
The project has been graced by over 300 international artists, designers and illustrators including Jean Jullien, Olimpia Zagnoli, Bendita Gloria, Ping Zhu, Ordinary people to name but a few. The sketchbooks have travelled a number of cities such as London, Barcelona, Berlin, New York, Paris, Seoul, Stockholm, Athens and more.

Two Pages is designed and co-ordinated by Konstantinos Trichas (http://konstantinostrichas.com/).

• Embracing the Unknown | Andreas Tomblin
Exhibition
Tue 5 Jul - Sun 10 Jul | Conference hours
HELEXPO




When you encounter the unknown, something that is alien to one’s routine every day existence you are given the tools to perceive the world as if through a child’s eyes. Embracing these new experiences and reacting to them without placing rules or preconceived conventions upon them leads to creativity and unexpected outcomes.

The very fabric of this method of working when applied to visually communicating the most mundane of subjects, results in unrestricted, intuitive decision making and cross pollination of visual ideas.

Tomblin’s work is part of a larger body of work that can be seen as a visual journey through the streets of Beijing which took place during a recent stay in China. Here we can see the influence of Chinese characters being explored through imagery. The original function of the characters however is overlooked and instead relationships between form, structure, and movement are explored and communicate a different visual language while still retaining a cultural link with the original source.

 

Andreas Tomblin

Born in England and of English and Greek-Cypriot descent, Tomblin now lives in Nicosia, Cyprus. A noted painter and Assistant Professor at the University of Nicosia, Cyprus, his art has received international exposure in Juried and invited exhibitions and in public and private collections worldwide including UK, USA, Cyprus, China, Belarus, Finland, Romania, Lebanon, Italy, Albania and Egypt.

Bασικό χαρακτηριστικό του έργου είναι η κινούμενη τυπογραφία (kinetic typography). Η τυπογραφία είναι βασικό συστατικό της γραφιστικής δημιουργίας και, επειδή είναι ένα μέσο αφήγησης, αποτελεί το κλειδί για να επικοινωνήσει κάποιος ένα μήνυμα. Το κείμενο που εμφανίζεται στο βίντεο είναι προσωπικές θέσεις απέναντι στα ανθρώπινα συναισθήματα. Τι σημαίνουν, πως δρουν και παρεισφρέουν στην ανθρώπινη καθημερινότητα, καθώς και κατά πόσο είναι ικανά να επηρεάσουν την τόσο ισχυρή ανθρώπινη φύση. Ο θεατής καλείται να δώσει απαντήσεις καθώς το βίντεο αυτό καθαυτό απλώς δημιουργεί ανησυχίες και θέτει ερωτήματα. Κυρίαρχη θέση στη δομή του βίντεο αποτελεί το λεκτικό στοιχείο και η κινούμενη τυπογραφία είναι η τεχνική προέκτασή του. Η εικαστική προσέγγιση έρχεται να πλαισιώσει το κείμενο μέσω μιας καλλιτεχνικής οπτικοακουστικής παρέμβασης.

Τα συναισθήματα αποτέλεσαν την κινητήρια δύναμη για πολλές δράσεις. Η αγάπη, το μίσος, η ζήλεια ή η θλίψη αποτέλεσαν αιτίες πολέμων, τη φιλοτέχνηση εικαστικών έργων και τη συγγραφή μερικών από τα μεγαλύτερα αριστουργήματα. Με λίγα λόγια, δημιουργήθηκαν πολιτισμοί και ιστορία. Έτσι, λοιπόν, θέλησα να δώσω τους δικούς μου ορισμούς και την προσωπική οπτική μου για κάτι μη ορατό, αλλά ταυτοχρόνως τόσο ισχυρό.

Σε ολόκληρο το βίντεο συναντώνται τρία βασικά σχεδιαστικά χαρακτηριστικά: σχήματα, υφές και φωτογραφικό υλικό. Αρχικά, η γραμμή και το τρίγωνο. Οι Πυθαγόρειοι λέγεται πως είχαν για ιερό αριθμό το 10. Το 10 προέρχεται από το άθροισμα των αριθμών 1, 2, 3 και 4. Κάθε αριθμός ορίζει την ποσότητα ενός σημείου. Το 1 συμβολίζει το ένα σημείο, το 2 δύο σημεία (άρα την ευθεία), το 3 δίνει το επίπεδο και το 4 τις διαστάσεις. Επομένως, επέρχεται η μαθηματική δημιουργία του κόσμου. Σύμφωνα με τους Πυθαγόρειους το τρίγωνο συμβόλιζε την ψυχή. Η γραμμή και το τρίγωνο, λοιπόν, δρουν συμβολικά στο έργο αυτό αποδίδοντας τη “δημιουργία των συναισθημάτων”.

Έπειτα, οι υφές και οι ματιέρες αποτελούν το συνειρμικό δομικό υλικό. Αποδίδουν τον ψυχισμό και τη νωχελικότητα των συναισθημάτων. Το άπιαστο και το απατηλό, το άυλο και το ιδανικό. Το αίσθημα για συνεχή αναζήτηση και ζωή, το πάθος που όλοι κρύβουμε βαθιά μέσα μας. Είναι η αίσθηση πριν την αφή, η γεύση που σου αφήνει μια εικόνα.

Τέλος, το φωτογραφικό υλικό συμβολίζει το πραγματικό, το αποτέλεσμα αυτού του συνονθυλεύματος συναισθημάτων στον έξω κόσμο. Υποδεικνύει το ολόγραμμα ενός ανύπαρκτου κόσμου μέσα στο χαώδες σύμπαν της υλικής βιωσιμότητας.

Η έργο αυτό αποτελεί κόμβο συνάντησης της αίσθησης με την τεχνική της απόδοση.
