but not always. This is the same factory I am visting for the last months. Unfortunately few graffiti writers discover it and started doing their stuff. Hopefully we still have a little bit of time before the state completely destroy it.
various dimensions, mazut and found cotton in the factory and found emulsion paint from the streets
making more frequent visits to the abandoned factory, though not as often as I would like. A quick in-situ installation to satisfy my creative cravings. A few things are stirring inside this beautiful, haunting space—hopefully, nothing that will spoil its charm with careless tags or thoughtless damage. I have plans that feel right for a space like this. Something new, something that honors its story.
Thank you D.Vasileiou for the pics.
Wanted to visit this place since 2014 but was not possible. Last days found out a new entrance and entered for the first time today. For almost two hours forgot all my issues and everything in general. One of the best abandoned factories ever visited. Next weekend plans to make some installations.
Thank you for the pics Ivana
Photos from last month exhibition on the beautiful island of Sikinos. An installation made with jeans and screws on wood. All jeans were collected from the flee market of Elaionas, Athens. Thank you all for installing it.
Taseis fugis, mple version, blue jeans and screws on wood, 200x100cm 2 pieces 2024
experementing with clothes. most probably showing this piece for my last time in Art Athina this year
The labels have been collected mostly from the flea market of Elaionas where all left overs of the previous sellers end up in the landfills of Nea Ionia. Wish I had a space big enough to take it all and create something. The t-shirt has been hand washed for obvious reasons. Clothing labels stitched on a used 100% cotton t-shirt XL of mine.
visited an abandoned place outskirts of Athens. Almost a virgin one but not worth visitng more than two times. Still interesting and planned for the next visit very soon.
Thank you Kiki for the ride
There is something interesting about the rotten/worn out awnings on the balconies of apartment buildings. It shows the poorness and the negligence of the owners or maybe they just like it the way it is. Most of these apartments are habitable. Wish I could replace with new ones and show the old ones in an exhibition along the history of the industry of the awning in the city of Athens. Photos taken with android phone.
