Ευχαριστούμε …

Εκεί που θέλω να σταθώ είναι στη σκηνογραφία του Γιάννη Αρβανίτη, ο οποίος συνέθεσε ένα σκηνικό που αποτύπωνε το ψυχόδραμα του Ράιτ, και ιδιαίτερα την ψυχολογία της κυρίας Κλάιν. Υπήρχαν επίπεδα, κλειδωμένα ντουλάπια και ένα δάπεδο που άνοιγε όσο μεγάλωνε το χάσμα ανάμεσα σε μητέρα και κόρη.

ruangrupa is the Artistic Direction of the fifteenth edition of documenta. The Jakarta-based artists’ collective has built the foundation of their documenta fifteen on the core values and ideas of lumbung (Indonesian term for a communal rice barn). lumbung as an artistic and economic model is rooted in principles such as collectivity, communal resource sharing, and equal allocation, and is embodied in all parts of the collaboration and the exhibition.

artist: Loukia Alavanou
curator: Heinz Peter Schwerfel
assistant curator: Phaidonas Gialis
research advisor: Yorgos Tzirtzilakis
associate curator: Yannis Arvanitis

At the 59th International Art Exhibition of the Biennale di Venezia, Loukia Alavanou is representing Greece by inviting the public to travel through time and space. Her VR360 film and installation Oedipus in Search of Colonus links the cultural heritage of classical Greece – specifically the work of the playwright Sophocles – to the social realities of today by showing the desperate existence of Roma communities in the region of Nea Zoi, west of Athens. Working with a film team and using futuristic technologies, Alavanou cast Roma as actors in the third play of Sophocles’ Oedipus cycle. This film and an accompanying sound installation are presented in a dramatic yet intimate atmosphere within the Greek Pavilion, which becomes a self-reflective island in the middle of one of the world’s biggest international exhibitions.

The centerpiece of Loukia Alavanou’s installation Oedipus in Search of Colonus is a 15 min film that transposes Sophocles’ almost 2500-year-old drama, Oedipus at Colonus, into the present and tells the story through a combination of docufiction, video clips, farce, and the latest VR technology. ...
