This exhibition of works by Antonis Tsakiris, Achilleas Pistonis and Vassilis Selimas is the final destination of a two-year residency that highlights a successful collaboration between the artists and collector Giorgos Vogiatzoglou.
Since 2012, the artists used the second floor of an industrial building next to the Vogiatzoglou Art Space in Nea Ionia, Athens, to work for a common exhibition that originated from a free process and an inward effort. Selimas, Tsakiris and Pistonis defined their personal and artistic autonomy automatically, in the space that became familiar in time, their own, and escaping from the canvas climbed on the walls and left behind the personal sample of each of them: Paper, cardboard, comments, posters, scenery items, drafts, personal notes, photographs, unfinished works, art books for Vasilis. Posters from his former exhibitions, an ephemeral design of his self-portrait on the wall, for Antonis. In two bookcases, catalogues of artists, books on Bacon and a paper model of a terrifying fictitious animal, made of egg cups. Almost nothing for Achilleas. In time, he painted a gigantic cockroach on the floor, part of a future installation.
