Jannis Psychopedis’ relationship with poetry is profound, long-lasting, systematic, continuous and tested down the years; it is a core element of his oeuvre. The exhibition includes works of mixed techniques and media, as well as a large series of drawings, watercolours and oil paintings portraying poets.

Τhe Quiet Volume: Ant Hampton & Tim EtchellsInfo: In October, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center presents, for the first time, the Greek version of The Quiet Volume, an “Autoteatro” performance by the British artists Ant Hampton and Tim Etchells. The term “Autoteatro” describes a series of small-scale performances – specially designed for specific spaces – that come to life with the participation of members of the audience. A combination of silence and concentration, The Quiet Volume exposes the strange magic at the heart of the reading experience, allowing aspects of it we think of as deeply internal to lean out into the surrounding space, and to leak from one reader's sphere into another's. Having been performed in 12 countries to date, The Quiet Volume creates a unique experience for library visitors/readers and explores the particular tension common to any library worldwide. In the Open Reading Area, at the second floor of the National Greek Library, two participants, seated at a table, have headphones on, with a red and a green notebook and a few volumes of books before them. As they hear whispered cues on their headphones, they silently read excerpts from the small stack of books. The Greek version of The Quiet Volume was especially produced by Ant Hampton to be performed at the SNFCC. Ant Hampton is a British artist and performance maker based in Germany. His performance works are diverse in content and tone, yet consistently explore the tension between fixed, formal or structural elements and the improvised ones that come about in the moment. For 20 years now, he has been developing new modes of performance, guiding people through unrehearsed performance situations. Other works such as Hello for Dummies, GuruGuru, Cue China, OK OK, This is Not My Voice Speaking and The Extra People, continue to tour widely, in over 60 different language versions. Tim Etchells is an artist and writer based in the UK, whose work shifts between performances, visual art creations and works of fiction. He is the leader of the world-renowned Sheffield-based performance group Forced Entertainment. Exhibiting and presenting work in significant institutions all over the world, he is currently Professor of Performance & Writing at Lancaster University. Etchells’ work has been shown recently at Tate Modern, Cubitt, Hayward Gallery and Bloomberg SPACE in London, at Turner Contemporary, The Grundy and Compton Verney in the UK, as well as at Witte de With, Rotterdam, and MUHKA (Antwerp).

The Hour of GreeceInfo: On the occasion of this year’s celebration of Ohi Day, Hellenic American University | Ηellenic American College and the Greek America Foundation, in collaboration with the General State Archives οf Greece, are pleased to present the exhibition “The Hour of Greece”. The exhibition is held under the aegis of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Greece. A symbol of national resistance, Ohi Day commemorates Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas’ rejection on October 28, 1940 of Mussolini’s ultimatum for surrender. In the face of the Italian invasion that followed and despite being vastly outnumbered, Greece not only defended itself but counterattacked and defeated the enemy forces. The event united the Greek people and evoked respect among the Allies for Greeks everywhere. The story of the small neutral country’s victory over the much larger invading forces made a deep impression on American public opinion. Drawing largely on rare archival material from the private collection of Gregory Pappas, a member of the Greek Diaspora, including newspapers, cartoons and photographs, all of which on display for the first time in Greece, "The Hour of Greece" seeks to show the impact of the Greek victory in the United States in the early years of World War II. At the same time, the exhibition highlights the important contribution that Americans made to healing post-war hardships in Greece. Material from the Pappas Collection has been enriched with documentary material from the General State Archives of Greece to better illustrate the relations of the peoples of Greece and United States at that time. Curator: Louisa Karapidaki Organization / Production: Hellenic American University, Greek America Foundation, Γενικά Αρχεία του Κράτους Hours: Weekdays: 12:00-21:00, Saturdays: 10:30-14:30 24/10/2019 to 20/12/2019 Hellenic Parliament: significant moments in almost two hundred years of history
Hellenic Parliament: significant moments in almost two hundred years of historyInfo: Few people in our country know that the Hellenic Parliament is one of the oldest parliaments in Europe; and when they find out, this fact does not seem strange to them. That is because, for most of us, the existence of this parliament is intrinsically linked to the political history of this country; its workings reflecting both the country’s glory as well as its darkest moments. Language: English-Greek Hours: Monday-Wednesday: 9.00-16.00, Thursday-Friday: 10.00-15.00, Saturday-Sunday: 10.00-15.00, public holidays: closed Tickets: Free 21/11/2019 to 30/09/2020 Lynda Benglis: In the Realm of the Senses
Lynda Benglis: In the Realm of the SensesExhibition LYNDA BENGLIS | IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES 21 November, 2019 to 15 March, 2020 Info: Devoted to Lynda Benglis’s highly original and prolific output in diverse media, this is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in a country that has played a major role in her life and vision: Greece. Spanning half a century from 1969 onwards, the select survey of thirty-six sculptures – amounting to a concise retrospective – will occupy the intimate spaces of the Stathatos Mansion, displaying a wide spectrum of Benglis’s materials, imagery and ideas. The show also presents three key ancient artefacts generously lent by the Museum of Cycladic Art itself. In the Realm of the Senses celebrates a maverick artist who began as a female pioneer of Post-Minimalism in the late 1960s and still creates with exuberance in the twenty-first century. Describing Benglis’s first wax reliefs as early as 1968, the New York gallerist and critic Klaus Kertess noted that “skin, pull, sensuousness” ranked among her primary concerns. Such intense corporeal sensations extend to the present – as Benglis’s sculpture constantly shifts between fixity and movement, nature and flesh, with both grace and provocative boldness. Venue: Museum of Cycladic Art | Stathatos Mansion Hours: Monday-Wednesday-Friday-Saturday: 10:00 – 17:00 Thursday: 10:00 – 20:00 Sunday: 11:00 – 17:00 Tuesday: closed Tickets: FREE GUIDED TOURS Wednesday : 12:00 – 13:00 Thursday: 18:30 – 19:30 (registration required) 21/11/2019 to 15/03/2020 Open call for Kinitiras residencies 2020
Open call for Kinitiras residencies 2020Dance,Performance Community Dance and Theatre Kinitiras, member of Res Artis, created the first residency centre for performing arts in Greece in December 2008. Until August 2019, it hosted numerous artists throughout the world from the fields of dance, theatre and performance. Inside its small premises located underneath Akropolis, Kinitiras became a creative hub while at the same time it opened the pathway for the idea of residency centre in Greece. It is now time for us to move on and create another flexible model of residency that will connect artists from Greece and the rest of the world without Kinitiras’ having a permanent base. Photo from Claire Huber's 2016 residency: Anti Steve 28 November, 2019 to 26 December, 2019 Info: We invite artists from Senegal, Cameroon, Nigeria, Germany, France and Greece specialized in community dance and theatre to apply for this shared residency. They will work with performers, professionals and amateurs, from Kinitiras’ network. This year’s thematic umbrella for all Kinitiras’ actions is the idea of TRANSITION. Selected artists have to be available from March 5th 2020 until April 5th 2020 (the exact 20 days between those dates will be announced soon) and they will stay all together at a place provided by Kinitiras. Apart from accommodation, Kinitiras covers travel and per diem expenses. The above conditions apply to artists staying in Greece as well. The results of the residency will be presented at IPFF 2020. Applications’ deadline: 26/12/2019, midnight (Greek time) You can fill in the application here. (application fee: 25 euros) Hours: πρωί-απόγευμα-βράδυ Tags: 28/11/2019 to 26/12/2019 Light Installations at the Stavros Niarchos Park
Light Installations at the Stavros Niarchos ParkInfo:
Once again this Christmas, four new light installations by leading artists, are presented for the first time in Greece, turning the SNFCC’s Stavros Niarchos Park into a futuristic Christmas setting. Take a winter stroll in an electrified, dream-like atmosphere in the Mediterranean Garden, the Great Lawn, the Labyrinth; explore the interplay of light and sound, nature and beauty, science and art, engaging with the interactive installations. Walk through, hide inside, activate them, take a photo, take a selfie! Play and discover new dimensions of sound and light, which will dazzle young and old. The light installations will be in operation daily from 30/11/19 to 06/01/20, from 17.00 until the Stavros Niarchos Park’s closing time. (Until 20/12, Monday to Thursday, the Park will be closing at 10 pm, whereas Friday to Sunday, it will be closing at midnight. From 21/12 to 06/01, the Park will be open daily until midnight).
Large Pendulum Wave As part of the imposing Large Pendulum Wave, a series of 15 illuminated pendulums are suspended at a height of 12m. All of them are lifted up and then simultaneously released to fly freely, as visitors enjoy a fascinating dance show that oscillates between harmony and chaos, gravity being its only driving force! A spectacular combination of the poetry of math and the beauty of physics, this is the visual interpretation of a physical phenomenon demonstrating how nature translates a mathematical sequence into choreographic delight. Through his large-scale audiovisual installations, Ivo Schoofs (b. 1972) offers spectators an experience of the forces of natural movement through science and technology. He describes his work as “a celebration of movement in its most natural occurrence”. The installation was made possible with support from: Gemeente Eindhoven, Mondriaan Fonds, IBS Precision Engineering, Philips Valmont Structures, OMT Solutions, Moesasji, Leffe Goldstein. 30/11-06/01 | GREAT LAWN
Wave-Field Having travelled to many countries around the world, Wave-Field is coming to the Stavros Niarchos Park, inviting SNFCC’s visitors to play and get creative, while exploring different sonic dimensions of space. Acoustic, illuminated see-saws, each with its own music idiom and “idiosyncrasy”, await for you to play with them, in a sensory playground from the future. When set into motion, the see-saws erupt into an impromptu composition, each time evoking a unique soundscape. This project is the result of a collaboration between Lateral Office Architects, CS Design lighting and the Canadian composer and visual artist Mitchell Akiyama. Also contributed: Generique Design, Robocut, EGP Group, Wireframe and L4 Studio. 30/11-06/01 | PINE GROVE
Infinite Support A collective comprising four artists and close friends, LightForm have translated their ideas about friendship into a beautiful light oject in Infinite Support. The installation consists of two large luminous drop-shaped ‘nests’ that help each other stay upright. The audience can hide within or interact with the multiple mirrors, exploring an unusual sensation of depth. These mirrors symbolize real friendship: a bond that, according to LightForm, knows no limits. LightForm are Daniel Thomassen, Raoul van der Ploeg, Dorus van Lieshout and Ivar Posthumus. 30/11-06/01 | MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN
The Pool Jen Lewin is a New-York-based light sculptor whose installations share with audiences sensational images of rare natural beauty that have touched the artist. In The Pool she has been inspired by the thousands of luminous ponds of light left behind by the ebb on a moonlit Australian beach. Lewin conjures this magical memory in an environment of giant, concentric circles created from dozens of interactive circular pads where play and collaborative movement create mesmerizing patterns of shifting and fading colors. Since premiering at the legendary Burning Man Festival in Nevada in 2008, The Pool has traveled to over 40 major cities and light festivals in the U.S.A., Europe and Asia. 30/11-06/01 | LABYRINTH

A co-production of the Royal Opera House, London, the New York Metropolitan Opera and the Norwegian National Opera (Oslo). It is a grandiose opera full of impressive arias, duets and compelling ensembles, but at the same time also a work with deeply human characters, who struggle to achieve a balance between their feelings and duty. Its multi-level political dimension, with the conflict between secular power and church, and, at the same time, between liberalism and absolutism, was of particular interest to Verdi, especially at a time when the modern Italian state was being formed. The performance will be conducted by the celebrated conductor and artist in residence at the GNO for the 2019/20 season Philippe Auguin, starring an internationally acclaimed cast of renowned soloists.
