About-Brand-Greece.Pdf BRAND GREECE GREECE REPOSITIONED AND REBRANDED by Panos Livadas General Secretary of Information Gifted by nature with a remarkable landscape and by man with an out- standing ancient civilization that is still as relevant in modern times, Greece has always been the subject of love and admiration. In addition, this country is identified with some of the most powerful brand names in history, such as Democracy, Philosophy or the Olympics. Her recent successes, with the Athens 2004 Olympics being a prime ex- ample, have come to build and expand on such positive perceptions. Greece is now regarded as a stable and reliable environment and Greeks as credible partners, creating invaluable added value that is transferred to our products and services.

What all these regions have in common is that they are undergoing rapid change, which has rendered Greece’s strategic environment increasingly complex, introducing a range of hard and soft security issues, many of which cut across traditional regional lines and un- derscore Greece’s position as a transregional actor. We believe that the multilateral approach and regional cooperation are the safest means of confronting the many and diverse threats facing our broader neighbourhood; threats such as international terrorism, the prolif- eration of weapons of mass destruction, the degradation of the en- vironment and human trafficking.

During the opening, the artist will transform the area around the Slaughterhouse into a camp to experiment archaic firing techniques for ceramic.

    KA1 – MOBILITY OF YOUTH WORKERS 2019-2-EL02-KA105-005118 TRAINING COURSE “European Values Equalizers” Trikala, Greece 25 Aug – 3 Sep 2021 ABOUT THE PROJECT The project "European Values Equalizers" is a residential Training Course that will take place in the city of Trikala, Greece, between 25 August to 3 September 2021, with the participation of 10 partner organizations from Greece, Croatia, Italy, North Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine. The project will include 30 youth workers and youth leaders (3 participants per country), 2 trainers and 2 support staff. SUMMARY In today’s society very often we are dealing with the discussions about what are European values, what defines us as Europeans, do we talk about values which are practiced and respected only in European Union or in Europe in general? As this is the topic which is very often and which very often confuse young people but also about which we don’t care enough, especially today in time of globalization. If we take a look in knowledge which young people are gaining through the formal education in their schools and universities, mostly they don’t even mention European values as something on what we should pay attention and something what we should promote and use in our everyday life. On the other side, if we open media articles today, we will find a lot of significant titles related with discrimination, radicalization and violence of human rights all around the world. If we start to work with young people on education about European values and promotion of European values such as tolerance, respect of human rights, antidiscrimination, equality, democracy and rule of law, we are sure that we can prevent youth radicalization, discrimination and violence of human rights but also we can take part in creation of better future of our common European society.

  • Eddie Martinez, 1977 —
    Eddie Martinez, 1977 — Eddie Martinez has gained international recognition for his extraordinary use of line and manipulation of colour, which he applies aggressively and in vividly contrasting combinations to his paintings and sculptures. His style draws from a deep understanding of painting’s histories, filtered through personal experience, popular culture and sport. Described as “indomitable” by Interview magazine, Martinez has recently attracted attention for his “exceptional gifts as a painter and draftsman, which he exuberantly combines.” (Roberta Smith, New York Times). Martinez’s paintings incorporate coarse brushwork and bold contours through the combination of mediums such as oil, enamel and spray paint, and often include collaged found objects. Martinez has had solo exhibitions at Drawing Center, New York; Davis Museum at Wellesley College, Massachusetts; Peres Projects, Berlin; Half Gallery, New York; The Journal Gallery, Brooklyn; and ZieherSmith, New York. His work has been included in the group exhibitions New York Painting, Kunstmuseum Bonn (2015); Body Language, The Saatchi Gallery, London (2013–2014); New York Minute, Garage Centre For Contemporary Culture, Moscow (2011); Not Quite Open for Business, The Hole, New York (2010); Draw, Museo de la Cuidad de México, Mexico City (2010); So Wrong, I’m Right, Blum & Poe, Los Angeles (2007); Mail Orders and Monsters, Deitch Projects, New York (2007); and Panic Room: Works from the Dakis Joannou Collection, Deste Foundation Centre for Contemporary Art, Athens (2006). Martinez had his first solo museum exhibition in September 2017 at the Davis Museum, Wellesley, MA. The exhibition featured large-scale paintings from the Mandala series and recent bronze sculptures. In October 2017, The Drawing Center in New York presented a show of drawings and sketches from the artist’s studio.

  • Artnet.Com October 19, 2011
    ARTNET.COM OCTOBER 19, 2011 REMAP ATHENS: ATHENIAN RHAPSODY by Kimberly Bradley Nicolas Party in the bathroom Greece is obviously still the word in the Eurozone, for reasons that go way beyond the art world. Rehashed every couple of months, the country’s dire financial situation is looking worse than ever. Yet, in the midst of it all, ReMap 3, Sept. 12-Oct. 30, 2011, launched in Athens last month, is infusing one of inner city Athens’ roughest neighborhoods, Kerameikos-Metaxourgeio, with a buzzing energy. For the third time, the biannual event -- not really a biennale, definitely not a fair, but far more than just an exhibition -- brought more than 50 separate exhibitions to town for six weeks, most of them into the area’s otherwise unoccupied buildings, storefronts, spaces and lots. A temporary art squat, so to speak, that has a bit of a history. A decade ago, ReMap founder Iasson Tsakonas, a 39-year-old Cornell-educated entre- preneur, bought a building on Kerameiko Street (the area was where the city’s ceramic potters lived in the classical era, and part of the district holds Athens’ ancient cemeteries). It’s now a spacious headquarters for his company, Oliaros, in an area that is still 46 percent unoccupied. He would know, since he literally mapped out the neighborhood as he slowly purchased more buildings and founded the nonprofit KM Protypi Geitoni to focus on urban renewal research and projects as well. Tsakonas is also an avid art collector, and in the mid-2000s, dealer Javier Peres asked Tsakonas if he could run his gallery, Peres Projects, out of one of his Athens spaces for the summer while his Los Angeles and Berlin galleries were under renovation.
