In present-day Athens, a city dominated by Americanized behaviors and life-styles, a young man aged about 20 lives with his widowed mother in one of the countless nondescript apartments lost in the great concrete jungle of the city. He wants to study astronomy at the University, and spends most of his time scrutinizing the stars and the surrounding world through an ancient telescope. On the other side of the wide avenue lives Stella with her husband and daughter. Trapped in the dull routine of a meaningless marriage devoid of joy or pleasure, she feels her youth slipping away and grey middle-age creeping up on her. Haris falls in love with her, but what are the prospects for love in this city?
Our Doublethink Double vision exhibition’s title alludes to George Orwell’s seminal work 1984 and presents a selection that includes Tracey Emin, Marcel Dzama, Anselm Kiefer, Bruce Nauman, Raymond Pettibon, and Thomas Ruff, as well as Turkish artists, tracing the steps of pluralistic thought through works of art.
Works by a large number of students from the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo deal with current and often painful themes from the socio-political, economic and cultural reality, raising awareness, appealing, warning, opening issues and offering new interpretations.
