Aegeanale’ profile
Aegeanale is an international platform of art and culture created in 2012. Its fundamental
goals is to highlight the Aegean as region of inspiration, creativity and intercultural dialogue
as also to map once more, the archipelago as a complex of destinations with cultural
interest. The first focus point concerns a series of international artistic projects from the
contemporary art scene, which travels in several locations of the Aegean Sea, constructing
tourist routes of cultural interest. The second focus point concerns a visual arts residency
program in several islands of the Aegean, transforming the region to a unique “open-air
gallery”.Aegeanale’s vision is to offer essential opportunities for the promotion of the
uniqueness and the potentials of the archipelago, which features extraordinary circumstances for inspiration, creativity and intercultural dialogue.

SOFIA HOUSOU
Sofia Housou’s post-abstract expressionist oeuvre operates in a dramatic background where colour becomes the vocabulary for her to express and communicate
subtle and complex messages.Her paintings subvert our art-historical notions of
abstraction and abstract expressionism, while they inextricably and poetically blend
reality with imagination, the mysterious with the plain, the flat with the profound.

SOLO EXHIBITIONS

2009 Artforum Gallery Thessaloniki
The paintings and sculptures of young artist Hara Piperidou (Athens, Greece) reflect
a psycho-analytical search into true identity and the self. The body plays a major role
as outer representation of this identity, and as our existence within a reality. The
body represents the way we see ourselves or the way we think others perceive us.
It is the first boundary between the other and our inner selves. The body as a natural
entity manifests itself through acts of eroticism, which, when taken to extremes,
leads to lust, destruction and violence, birth and death.
This innate violent character in turn is a result of the power of our instincts. In opposition to this instinctive behaviour – which can easily give cause to uncontrollable
situations – stands Reason. If physical power provides a way of repressing the other
into obedience, then reason through the use of words and as a means of communication can equally be used as a tool for transmitting power.
In Hara Piperidou’s works, many references are made to language and to speech
as a means of expression through the depiction of a tongue as body organ.
The tongue is the gateway between our inner and outer selves.

BRIGITTE POLEMIS
Brigitte’s work is caught between the disciplines of photography, printing, design and
sculpture. Her work is defined by her minimal aesthetics of colour, line and form.
Herchoice of Perspex as her media, the use of technologies and her attention to high
production values, gives her artwork a very contemporary feel. in addition, the use
of the multiple motif and lined backgrounds ads elements of surreal, optical and pop
art, that in her work find a new unique expression.
in her new series of work, she questions issues of conformity and standardization as
the effects of industrialisation are becoming evident in every aspect of our lives. The
use of the faceless male figurine in mupltiples conveys the objectification of the individual and the senseless reproduction reflecting our consumer society. The subtle
use of colour serves as traces of hope amongst the grays and blacks that represent
sentiments of desperation.
The spaced out multiple layers of Perspex, become the vehicles for a simultaneous
background, middle ground and foreground, which enable her to switch back and
forth with reality and illution. The lined backgrounds create optical illutions as the
viewer moves closer, further of along the images. Her theatrical wheel compositions, reminiscent of scenes in romantic films of the 60’s, in which human formations
would create moving shapes of opening and closing flowers, are full of movement as
if they are the documentation of a meticulously staged performance that took place
elsewhere.

MARTIN SEXTON
In his sculpture, installation, film work and writing, Martin Sexton attempts to create
a poetical experience that does not exist in reality. His practice takes the form of a
sculptural poem, an invocation or play; exploring concepts of time and the vicissitude
of love. Sexton embeds his work within our culture, collapsing existing narratives
into a new experience, drama or mythos. Absorbing, challenging and transforming
the world around him; he is at odds with the current precept that it is impossible to
produce anything original or authentic.

VERSAWEISS
(Dimitris Mpampoulis - Thanos Klonaris)
The team’s creative activity expresses the need for a collective visual dialogue with
social perspectives. Versaweiss references’ range from everyday life, contemporary
visual culture, architecture and history of art among others. The duo combines new
media, digital printing, and graphic design with the traditional forms of art (painting,
sculpture, installation, photography). Through their imagery the viewer is introduced
to a fragile ‘’reality’’ and draws new connections regarding mental experiences and
emotional states. Irony, sarcasm, ignorance, knowledge, romance, truth, belief but
mainly the search for authentic skepticism is obvious in their artistic practices.
