  • New Evidence on the Origin of the Influence of Nietzsche and of the Idea of Immanent
    fig. 1 G. de Chirico, Scatola di cerini e sigarette, ca 1904-1906 13 New Evidence on the Origin of the Influence of Nietzsche and of the Idea of Immanent Myth in Giorgio de Chirico: Mavìlis, Palamàs and the Early XX Century Athens Literary Scene Fabio Benzi There have been many attempts at identifying an influence of the Greek milieu on the young Gior- gio de Chirico. From his birth (1888) to his late adolescence, the artist lived in Greece, in Volos and especially Athens, until he moved to Munich in October 1906. So, he spent the first eighteen years of life – undoubtedly a formative moment for any young intellectual – mostly in Athens, where he also completed his first artistic studies in the Academy of Fine Arts of the Polytechnic School. As might be expected, research aimed at contextualizing and furthering the knowledge of pos- sible Hellenic influences on de Chirico’s artistic activity has focused so far on the specific analysis of the local painting scene, although with little or less than significant results. To be sure, we are not aware of any extant early painting from his Greek period, except for a negligible, small still life painted on cardboard, depicting a box of matches with a lit cigarette leaning against it (fig. 1); the verso shows an earlier copy of a detail of a chromolithography by Bel- gian painter Jan van Beers (Lier, 27 March 1852-Fay- aux-Loges, 17 November 1927), which we have iden- tified here (figs. 2, 3).1 If this copy is an example of the nearly photographic unyielding adherence by a young artist who might have not yet attended the academy, the small oil is actually a genre exercise, probably painted while de Chirico was still a student.

  • When Crisis Becomes Form: Athens As a Paradigm Theophilos Tramboulis and Yorgos Tzirtzilakis
    When Crisis Becomes Form: Athens as a Paradigm Theophilos Tramboulis and Yorgos Tzirtzilakis Documenta 14 in Athens: a glossary Documenta 14 (d14) was an undoubtedly important exhibition which triggered endless debate and controversy that continues today.1 The choice of Athens as a topological paradigm by Adam Szymczyk, an ingenious curator with expected and unexpected virtues, initially fired people’s appetite and enthusiasm. Yet what it ultimately managed to do was demythicize the event itself in a way, as well as demonstrate a series of dangers in the operation of the institution. At the same time it brought to light a series of innate ailments and fantasies of contemporary culture in Greece, which manifested themselves in a distorted and sometimes aggressive fashion. This is not without significance, since it functioned complementarily to—rather than independently of—the exhibition. In short, d14 served as a kind of double mirror with which we could see the cultural relation of Greece with Europe and the world, but also the reverse: that of Europe with Greece. So what was d14 in Athens? For now we must necessarily sidestep its contribution to making Athens and Greek culture a temporary center of international attention in order to focus on what must not be overlooked. The series of arguments below can be read individually or successively as a network of alternating commentary, but also through their diagonal intersections, ruptures, disagreements, and connections, where meaning is produced in a syncretic or dialectical way. D14 is the symptom from which all discourse around it begins. 1/11 A political metonymy The critical reception of d14 in Greece focused mainly on the institution and its operation; on its discursive and political context rather than the works, concerts, or lectures— generally speaking, the actual art and discourse presented by the exhibition.

  • GEORGE ZONGOLOPOULOS George Zongolopoulos (Athens, 1903-2004) Was One of the Most Important Greek Artists and Representatives Of
    GEORGE ZONGOLOPOULOS George Zongolopoulos (Athens, 1903-2004) was one of the most important Greek artists and representatives of the so called “Generation of 1930s” with diverse and internationally recognized work. The work of the artist, who was often called the “eternal teenager”, extends across the unusual vector of time of almost eight decades, and its rich range of subject matter is characterized by incessant renewal. Biography George Zongolopoulos was born on March 1st, 1903, in Deligiorgi Street in the center of Athens, while his place of origin was the village Manna or Markasi in Corinth (as Zongolopoulos narrated to his family the real year of his birth was 1901 and not 1903 as is appeared in all his official documents). He grew up in a family of lawyers that did not encourage him to deal professionally with art, although he showed a special inclination towards painting and drawing from childhood. He served his military service as a sergeant until 1923 and during that period he met his peer and later important Greek architect Patroklos Karantinos, who became one of his closest friends and colleagues. First years of apprenticeship o National Technical University of Athens, Athens School of Fine Arts (1924-1930) In 1924 he entered the Athens School of Fine Arts and studied sculpture under Academician Thomas Thomopoulos. In his student years he expressed with militancy his opinion on the need for modernization and reorganization of teaching, and also on the need to increase the School‟s budget. His attitude towards the academicism of the School and his participation in the “occupation” of the School by its students in 1929 meant for the young Zongolopoulos expulsion from the School for a year.

  • A Needle Walks Into a Haystack 8Th Liverpool Biennial 5 July–26 October 2014
    INTRODUctiON A Needle Walks into a Haystack 8th Liverpool Biennial 5 July–26 October 2014 A Needle Walks into a Haystack is an exhibition about our habits, our habitats, and the objects, images, relationships and activities that constitute our immediate surroundings. It’s about effecting larger questions facing contemporary life and art, from an intimate and tangible scale that’s within everyday reach. The artists in this exhibition disrupt many of the conventions and assumptions that usually prescribe the way we live our lives. They attack the metaphors, symbols and representations that make up their own environment, replacing them with new meanings and protocols: bureaucracy becomes a form of comedy, silence becomes a type of knowledge, domesticity becomes a place of pathology, inefficiency becomes a necessary vocation, and delinquency becomes a daily routine.

  • Fall in Love Again
    FALL I N L O V E AGAIN Fall in love again Welcome back to the Whitworth. As you are about to discover, a £15 million development has transformed the gallery, fully integrating it into the park we call home. An art garden by Sarah Price, sculpture terrace and orchard garden, alongside new spaces that embrace the park - such as our landscape gallery and a café in the trees - all reflect our beautiful setting. With double the room, the Whitworth launches with ten new exhibitions. From a major solo show by Cornelia Parker to a stunning installation by Cai Guo-Qiang, plus exhibitions by Sarah Lucas, Thomas Schütte, and the photographer Johnnie Shand Kydd, we open our new gallery spaces in spectacular fashion. Alongside sit selections of some of the best pieces from our wonderful collections – from the explosive art of the 1960s to historic watercolours and textiles – plus two exhibitions of works recently and generously donated to us by the Karpidas Foundation. But it’s not all about art at the new Whitworth. Ever since we first opened, in 1889, we have been a gallery in a park – a space to learn and to try new things, a place to bring friends and family, and a gallery where, for a while at least, you can escape the busy city on our doorstep. So while our reopening this spring is indeed a moment to savour, it also allows us to get back to what we have always done best: being the gallery in the park – and one of the most remarkable galleries in the north.
