In his first full-length feature film Pericles Hoursoglou follows his hero's race towards a dubious success with an austere, almost documentary style that allows him to remain aloof from the events. His hero is a modern Greek, a modern citizen of the western world trying to maintain his equilibrium. On New Year's Eve, Panayotis knocks on the front door of his friend Lefteris Dimakopoulos. They haven't seen each other for a long time. On the threshold of a new year, they reminisce about the past, the years that have gone by, the years when they were students, the years of youthful love and youthful hopes. Lefteris is the story of fifteen years in the life of a "bright" young man, during which he changes, loses his values and his youth.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
It was a quiet night in the dessert. Even the mice weren’t around. A few LEDs blinked in the dark, and the sound of a fan filled the infinite void. The conversation cutting the silence seemed to go nowhere.
The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shaped a labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the social mirror of portraits.
