Ομαδική εικαστική έκθεση «Παραμόρφωση»
8 Απριλίου – 07 Μαΐου, στην γκαλερί Exhibit8
Η γκαλερί Exhibit8 διοργανώνει την ομαδική εικαστική έκθεση με θέμα «Παραμόρφωση».
Όπου υπάρχει μορφή δύναται να υπάρξει και ΠΑΡΑΜΟΡΦΩΣΗ, στρέβλωση, αλλοίωση της φυσιογνωμίας της. Η ΠΑΡΑΜΟΡΦΩΣΗ ενός προσώπου, ενός τοπίου, ενός αντικειμένου αποτελεί μέρος της αέναης μεταβλητότητας. Κάποιες φόρες, ίσως, και ένα κομμάτι της εξελικτικής πορείας.
Τι γίνεται όμως με την ουσία, την ταυτότητα της παραμορφωμένης ύλης; Χάνεται, αλλάζει ή παραμένει σταθερή και αμετάκλητη;
Τα εγκαίνια της έκθεσης τέλεσε ο Δημοτικός Σύμβουλος Κρίστης Δημητρίου, πρόεδρος της Επιτροπής Ανάπτυξης, Τουρισμού και Εμπορικής Ναυτιλίας.
Συμμετέχουν οι εικαστικοί:

‘Deformation’ Group Art Exhibition – 8th of April – 7th of May – Exhibit 8 Gallery
Exhibit 8 Gallery is organizing the ‘Deformation’ Group of Art Exhibition.
When there is a form; there is its deformation too. Deformation is part of our everyday, of our existence and our progress. The form or the deformation of a face, of a landscape, of an object are found as a two-dimensional and/or a three-dimensional aspect and shape.
However, what about the substance and the identity of the deformed material? Is it lost? Does it change? Or is it a stable value?
The opening speech was held by Municipal Councillor Kristis Demetriou, chairman of the Committee on Development, Tourism and Merchant Shipping.
Participant Artists:
Nata Chebarkova, Irene Fani Efstathiou, Vartan Ghazarian, Stavri Iacovou, Soteris Ioannides, Margo Isentaeva, Chrysa Kanari, Vasos Karayiannis, M. Khattab (Alex), Elena Koulla, Andreas Maos, Fotini Michaelidou, Popi Mouskatou, Panagiota Pantela, Katerina Papalamprianou, Fevronia Petrou, Karim John Sahyoun, Mara Solomeina, Themis Themistokleous, Kyriakos Thouki, Maria Titan, Valentinos Vasiliou
Performance: Thanasis Ioannou

Sneak Peek: A Joint Event Celebrating CARNIVAL
Ο Αντρέας Βρυωνίδης (‘Feather up’) και η Exhibit 8 Γκαλερί οργανώσαν μαζί ένα Pre-Carnival Gathering και γιορτάσαμε μέσα σε μια καρναβαλίστική διάθεση, μουσική και κρασί.
Στην καρδία της Λεμεσού, κοντά στην πλατεία της Σαριπόλου στην Exhibit 8 βρίσκονται και οι μοναδικές δημιουργίες από τη ‘Feather up’ – τα πλέον διάσημα καπέλα με φτερά.
Μαζί μας παρευρέθηκαν και μέλη της Βασιλικής Οικογένειας του Καρναβαλιού.
Οι δημιουργίες του Αντρέα Βρυωνίδη θα βρίσκονται στην γκαλερί μας μέχρι και τις 6 Μαρτίου.

Τι γίνεται όμως με την ουσία, την ταυτότητα της παραμορφωμένης ύλης; Χάνεται, αλλάζει ή παραμένει σταθερή και αμετάκλητη;
Οι καλλιτέχνες καλούνται, μέσα από τη δική τους οπτική και τα δικά τους ξεχωριστά μέσα, να αποδώσουν την έννοια της ΠΑΡΑΜΟΡΦΩΣΗΣ. Το Open Call απευθύνεται σε καλλιτέχνες που ασχολούνται με εικαστικές τέχνες όπως ζωγραφική, γλυπτική, φωτογραφία, ψηφιακά μέσα, ποίηση.

However, what about the substance and the identity of the deformed material?
Artists are welcomed to analyse what deformation is for them through their art. This Open call is open for painting, sculptures, photography, digital art, screen printing, text, poetry.

‘Möbius spaces’ | Opening event of the Solo Exhibition by Xristos Panagiotou
Once we delineate space and time, the concept of limits also arises. Limits separate entities and delineate units; limits justify where the Self starts and when it ends when the Other begins and where the Other stops. A linear perception of the Self also occurs in the temporal dimension. Limits separate who I am, who I am not, and whom I want to be in a linear temporal progression. Limits that quantify and justify the notion of property, and limits that demarcate whole nations – boundaries – the Self and the Other, limits of time – timetables, schedules – and Identities about who we are in time and space are formed, because after all, in Modernity, there are clean-cut temporal and spatial limits that separate in units the Self from the Other.
In this photography exhibition, I use the topological properties of the Möbius strip to restructure space within photographs non-linearly, thus subverting the notion of spatial linearity within the photographic image. Möbius strip has no orientation and no limits, no borders. I also refer to the aesthetics of M.C. Escher and Arnold Böcklin.
