  • STEPHEN ANTONAKOS Laconia, Greece 1926 — New York 2013
    STEPHEN ANTONAKOS Laconia, Greece 1926 — New York 2013 Antonakos’s work with neon since 1960 has lent the medium new perceptual and formal meanings in hundreds of gallery and museum exhibitions first in New York and then internationally. His use of spare, complete and incomplete geometric neon forms has ranged from direct 3-D indoor installations to painted Canvases, Walls, the well known back- lit Panels with painted or gold surfaces, his Rooms and Chapels. Starting in the 1970s he installed over 55 architecturally-scaled permanent Public Works in the USA, Europe, Israel, and Japan. Throughout, he conceived work in relation to its site — its scale, proportions, and character — and to the space that it shares with the viewer. He called his art, “real things in real spaces,” intending it to be seen without reference to anything outside the immediate visual and kinetic experience. Colored pencil drawings on paper and vellum, often in series, have been a major, rich practice since the 1950s; as has his extensive work with collage. Other major practices include the conceptual Packages, small-edition Artist’s Books, silver and white Reliefs, prints, and — since 2011 — several series of framed and 3-D Gold Works. Antonakos was born in the small Greek village of Agios Nikolaos in 1926 and moved to New York with his family in 1930. In the late 1940s, after returning from the US Army, he established his first studio in New York’s fur district. From the early 1960s forward, until the end in 2013, he worked in studios in Soho.

  • 2005 · "A Matter of Principles"
    A Matter of Principles including the ArtsQuest 2005 Annual Report A Matter of Principles In 1997, as the Banana Factory was being built, ArtsQuest, then known as the Bethlehem Musikfest Association, was engaged in the planning process. Based on the expansion of the organization with Christkindlmarkt Bethlehem in 1993 and the creation of the new art center, the Board of Trustees adopted a new mission statement: “to celebrate the arts and culture of the diverse peoples of the Lehigh Valley.” With such a broad statement it was important to create a statement of principles by which the organization would be guided in fulfilling its mission. Those principles, amended only a few times, are the foundation by which ArtsQuest has transitioned into a major arts, cultural and educational resource for the Lehigh Valley: ArtsQuest will promote the heritage and culture of the diverse peoples of the Lehigh Valley by: I. Using arts and culture as key elements of economic development for our urban communities II. Providing quality cultural programming for families - Presenting local, regional, national and international visual and performing artists - Constantly upgrading the quality of all programs - Being an inclusive organization for youth, children at-risk, seniors and individuals with special needs III. Partnering with business organizations, educational institutions, government agencies and other not-for-profit organizations IV. Maintaining a strong, clear communication network for all stakeholders, including volunteers, donors, staff, vendors and the community V. Empowering volunteers to govern the organization, and to develop and produce cultural programs that meet community needs VI. Developing a staff that demonstrates the excellence of the organization and works in harmony with each other and the volunteer corps VII.
