Kalfayan
Galleries, Athens present the group show of Yiannis Papadopoulos, Panos
Tsagarisand Kostis Velonis titled “Perished Sun”.
In ancient
Greece, the eclipse was considered to be an evil omen, an augury of discord and
suffering. The endless eclipses that
Greece has experienced during the last years, beyond being the pleasurable
experience of an astronomical phenomenon, bear witness to the covert dimension
that accompany superstitions.
The
exhibition attempts to shed light on these signs that pass unseen through the
routine of ordinariness. Together with the failures and setbacks in everyday
life, the show translates them into a geometry of their elliptical shapes,
their eclipses and shadows. This ambivalent approach to the eclipse in the
projects of Yiannis Papadopoulos, Panos Tsagaris and Kostis Velonis is
transcribed as a resistance to pre-existing structures, as an error that seeks
its continuation, the tension of a disorder that becomes the product of
creativity and revision of the established order.
