At
the space of former Nees Morfes Gallery, the newly founded
Contemporary Greek Art Institute presents
the exhibition
"Kyrillos Sarris - George Hatzimichalis: CORRESPONDENCE 2007-2010"
Their first joint exhibition (landscapes) was held in 2004. The
current exhibition, is a conversation between the two artists; an exchange
of thoughts, using images instead of words.
Images drawn from memory, everyday life and art, give to the works the
power which they hold as a language. At a time where the over-use of images
is blinding us,
the gaps, the recalls by association, as
well as the deviations of this correspondence-dialogue salvage the images
from their inertia and with the new meaning
given to them, make them public property as a whole and cohesive work
of art.
The
CORRESPONDENCE follows the conventionality of letter-writing (post office,
envelopes, stamps). It started in January 2007, contains 126 letters,
and continues.
