Activities 83 09 DESTE Foundation For Contemporary Art activities 1983 – 2009 www.deste.gr The DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art The DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art is a non-profit institution based in Athens, Greece. The Foundation was established in Geneva in 1983 by collector Dakis Joannou, together with curators Adelina von Fürstenberg and Efi Strousa. Ever since, DESTE has been organizing exhibitions and has been supporting projects and publications internationally. Through an exhibition program that promotes emerging as well as established artists, the DESTE Foundation aims to broaden the audience for contemporary art, to enhance opportunities for young artists and to explore the connections between contemporary art and culture. The flexibility of DESTE’s exhibition schedule enables the Foundation to respond to what is current in the art world and to embark on interesting projects on short notice. DESTE’s program also extends to curatorial projects and special events that explore the connections between art and fashion, music, film, architecture, design, and contemporary culture. From its inception until 1998, DESTE organized and supported shows in Greece, Cyprus and Switzerland. These shows include Cultural Geometry (1988), Psychological Abstraction (1989), Artificial Nature (1990), Post Human (1992-1993), and Everything That’s Interesting is New (1996), a series of exhibitions that drew on the holdings of the Dakis Joannou Collection. In 1998 the DESTE Foundation moved to its first permanent space in Neo Psychico, Athens, where an ambitious exhibition program developed, including Global Vision (1999), Jeff Koons’ A Millennium Celebration (1999-2000) and Tim Noble and Sue Webster’s Masters of the Universe (2000). As part of the Athens 2004 Cultural Program, the DESTE Foundation mounted Monument to Now, the Foundation’s most ambitious project to date, a group show with more than 60 participating artists, curated by Dan Cameron, Jeffrey Deitch, Allison Gingeras, Massimiliano Gioni and Nancy Spector. Since January 2006, DESTE has been housed in a renovated former sock factory in Nea Ionia, Athens. The exhibition program of the new space was inaugurated by Panic Room (2006-2007), a group show with works on paper from The Dakis Joannou Collection, and by the Yellow Room Projects Anathena (2006- 2007) and Part Time Punks (2007), both of which were selected through an open call. Recent DESTE shows include Fractured Figure (2007–2008) and A GUEST + A HOST = A GHOST (2009). Apart from the shows that draw on works from the Dakis Joannou Collection, the DESTE Foundation also initiates a number of ongoing projects: the DESTE Prize, awarded biannually to an emerging Greek artist, the Hydra Slaughterhouse Project and the destefashioncollection. To further support its mission, DESTE has also established the Contemporary Greek Artists’ Archive, a helpful resource for curators and researchers, as well as a specialized art library which is open to the public. 2 The Dakis Joannou Collection Since 1985 Dakis Joannou has systematically been collecting works of contemporary art, working closely with artists and curators. Focusing on contemporary art from the 80’s to the present, the Collection is constantly enriched with works by emerging artists. The Collection contains major concentrations of works by some of the most distinguished and influential artists of the late 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, such as Pawel Althamer, Maurizio Cattelan, Nathalie Djurberg, Urs Fischer, Robert Gober, Jeff Koons, Chris Ofili, Charles Ray, Kiki Smith, and Kara Walker, among many others. The Collection’s status has never been static – it is in constant flux, crystallizing only in curated exhibitions. Over the years, the Collection has been shown in Athens, with the two most notable exhibitions being Everything That's Interesting Is New (1996) and Monument to Now (2004 - 2005). Curated Collection shows have also been presented in Thessaloniki, Nicosia, Paris and Vienna. “Collecting is, for me, an adventure, a set of different "lived" experiences, a constant flow of meeting, talking, listening, looking. It is an act of understanding and participating. And within this never ending involvement with "what is happening," the moments when I see exciting works for the first time constitute some of the highlights of my life.” Dakis Joannou 3 exhibitions & projects 1983 – 2009 4 1 EMERGING IMAGES The Work of Art today: A Work of the Matter and of the Times. 10 Greek Artists Today April 14th – May 10th, 1983 Athens, Hotel Athenaeum Intercontinental Curated by Efi Strousa Project Coordinator Nora Stamatiadou Dimitris Alithinos, Diohandi, Yorgos Lazongas, Leda Papaconstantinou, Rena Papaspyrou, Chryssa Romanos, Totsikas, Costas Varotsos, Zouboulis-Grekou Performances by Costas Varotsos & Sylvia Machi, Leda Papaconstantinou, Zouboulis & Grekou Catalogue Design: Makis Tsipouridis Edited by Efi Strousa Essay by Efi Strousa 7 GREEK ARTISTS A NEW JOURNEY December 5th – 28th, 1983 Nicosia, The Gate of Fammagusta Curated by Efi Strousa Dimitris Alithinos, Costas Varotsos, Diohandi, Bia Davou, Leda Papaconstantinou, Rena Papaspyrou, Totsikas Panel discussion with Alexandros Xydis, Efi Strousa and the participating artists Catalogue Design: Leoni Vidali Edited by Efi Strousa Essay by Efi Strousa JOSEPH KOSUTH RECENT WORKS 1981-1985 March 26th – April, 1985 Genève, Centre d’art contemporain, Ancien Palais des Expositions Supported by the DESTE Foundation Curated by Adelina von Fürstenberg Exhibitions with works from the Dakis Joannou Collection are marked with red titles. 5 PROMENADES June 9th – September 22nd, 1985 Parc Lullin, Genthod, Genève Organized by the Centre d’art contemporain Supported by the DESTE Foundation Curated by Adelina von Fürstenberg Vito Acconci, Roger Ackling, John Armleder, Marco Bagnoli, Alighiero Boetti, Silvie & Chérif Defraoui, Braco Dimitrijevic, Luciano Fabro, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Rebecca Horn, Per Kirkeby, Joseph Kosuth, Jakob Mattner, Marisa Merz, Mario Merz, Matt Mullican, Max Neuhaus, Maria Nordman, Meret Oppenheim, Giulio Paolini, Giuseppe Penone, Carmen Perrin, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Anne & Patrick Poirier, Markus Raetz, Sarkis, Anne Sauser-Hall, Ettore Spalletti, Pat Steir, Jean Stern, Catherine Willis, Gilberto Zorio Catalogue design Philippe Dumaret Catalogue essays by Bruno Corà, Adelina von Fürstenberg, Denys Zacharopoulos COSTAS VAROTSOS THE POET September 14th, 1985 Nicosia, Cyprus Donation of the sculpture The Poet by Costas Varotsos to the Municipality of Nicosia by the DESTE Foundation GILBERTO ZORIO April 14th – May 24th, 1986 Genève, Centre d’art contemporain, Ancien Palais des Expositions Supported by the DESTE Foundation Curated by Adelina von Fürstenberg Catalogue Design: Silvia Chessa, Beatrice Merz & Gilberto Zorio Published by the Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart 6 DIMITRI ALITHINOS SIXTH CONCEALMENT 1987 Great Wall of China Project organized by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture Supported by the DESTE Foundation DER MOND, DIE SONNE MARINA ABRAMOVID & ULAY April 11th – May 9th, 1987 Genève, Centre d’art contemporain, Ancien Palais des Expositions Performance by Marina Abramović and Ulay on April 10th, 1987 CULTURAL GEOMETRY January 18th – April 17th, 1988 Athens, House of Cyprus Curated by Jeffrey Deitch Exhibition design by Dan Friedman Exhibition installation by Haim Steinbach John M.

  • The Work of Giorgos Kontis (B.1981 Athens) Focuses on Abstract Painting and on Its Function As an Image

  • Artnet May 17, 2011 an Interview with Ashley Bickerton EDEN's
    Artnet May 17, 2011 An Interview with Ashley Bickerton EDEN’S ANTI-HERO By Emily Nathan Back in 1993, Ashley Bickerton (b. 1959) abandoned his prominent position in the New York art scene, set up shop on the island of Bali, and never came back. Surprising though the move might seem -- and Bickerton remains a player in contemporary art -- island living was a part of his history. The son of renowned linguist Derek Bickerton, who studied creoles and pidgins, the artist’s childhood was spent in places where “they spoke English funny,” from Barbados to Hawaii. Following his graduation from Cal Arts in 1982, he arrived in New York to attend the Whitney Independent Studies Program, and quickly rose to fame as one of the “Fantastic Four” -- along with fellow Neo-Geo artists Jeff Koons, Peter Halley and Meyer Vaisman -- in the wake of a seminal exhibition at Sonnabend Gallery. It was simply a return to form, then, when the 1987 Black Monday market crash prompted his escape from East Village celebrity to a storied if remote Indonesian isle. His early New York works were high-tech "commodity sculptures,” integrating corporate logos and commercial hardware into strange, machine-like objects that were, at heart, expressions of his manic surfer passions. But once he hit Bali, the beachcomber in him took over, and the nuts and bolts and digital read-outs were replaced by chunks of coral, bottle tops, worn flip-flops and all manner of flotsam and jetsam. Complementing this abundance of Edenic ephemera was the artist’s taste for high- key hyperrealism -- a kind of painting esthetic familiar from any boardwalk airbrush booth, though often enough pushed to a wacky extreme -- and these days, he frequently depicts a cobalt-skinned character he calls the Blue Man.

  • Ashley Bickerton
    DİRİMART SEPTEMBER 3 – OCTOBER 3, 2015 ASHLEY BICKERTON Walls and Paintings Painting Thing No.3, 2015 Oil and acryclic on digital print on jute with artist designed frame 122x122x13.5 cm Walls and Paintings, the first solo exhibition of Ashley Bickerton at Dirimart, can be visited between September 4th – October 3rd. A selection of the artist’s latest works will be featured in the exhibition. The artist will be present in the opening cocktail to be held on September 3rd at 19:00. Bickerton is associated with the art movement of the 1980’s titled “Neo-Geo” which included artists such as Jeff Koons and Peter Halley. He moved to the Indonesian Island of Bali in 1993 from New York and his work has come to be influenced by his location. His early works were high-tech “commodity sculptures” where he used mostly corporate-logos, referring to the consumerism of the age. Working through photography, mixed media assemblages and painting, his practice has problematized traditional forms through exploring contemporary art with surreal grotesque figures and abstractions in order to question what represents “western” and “non- western”. He has experimented on the coexistence of the figurative and the abstract and he refers to his treatment as, ”biomorphic abstraction”. His figures mostly include floral, colorful thick globs of paint and exaggeratedly primitive, digitally manipulated expressions of women mounted on wood, fiberglass or clay. The autobiographical elements of his work are clearly visible in his over-exoticized figures and colours. The exhibition at Dirimart will include his most recent body of work and it will bring together abstract and flashy digital print forms on jute ending with artist made frames and neon, silver and gold rock-like formations of epoxy resin, fiberglass and plywood.

  • Part 3: Rebirth Partner
    28 HUO: Normally I ask two last questions but you already Hans-Ulrich Obrist, answered one of them when we did the talk at the Ser- Michelangelo Pistoletto pentine gallery. It was the question about the future. You said: ‘The future for me is not about the possession of the world; it is about making love with the world. It is our Part 3: Rebirth partner. If you make love with the world, you have to love humanity. If you love humanity, you love yourself.’ But the question you have not answered yet is my recurrent ques- tion about unrealized projects, projects that were too big to realize, or too small to realize. When I asked you this question for the last time, in 1996, you answered with a very empty space you wanted to insert into a city. It was a cage—you wanted an empty cage in a city. That was your as yet unrealized project. MP: I did realise it. It was exhibited, and it is called Free Space. It is free for everybody and can be everybody’s space. It was good as the work was carried out by the occupants of a prison in Milan. I said: I want to do a work with you that brings you out of the prison. But this ‘outside of prison’ was in the centre of the prison. It was a free cage for everybody, because your mind should be free. And this is the cage that opens your mind. And they understood. They were very happy to do it.
