“The Engine Room”:\u00a0Katerina Athanasopoulou,\u00a0Lena Athanasopoulou, and\u00a0Zo\u00eb Giabouldaki<\/p>\n

Featuring the work of three Greek artists whose\u00a0practices share affinities in their use of found material
\nand splicing techniques, “The Engine Room” examines\u00a0the schizophrenic condition that forcefully emerges out of the current era of information, liquidity and\u00a0speculation. It is a mental exhibition that focuses on the inner workings and repressed tensions that overlay\u00a0and standardize conflicting states of being, allowing for\u00a0individuals to come to in irreconcilable positions with\u00a0little or no friction, save the usual shock of negligible\u00a0value. Given Greece\u2019s recent media attention as the\u00a0epicentre of the global financial meltdown, the show\u00a0unavoidably reflects on the kind of personal and\u00a0societal disconnections and turmoil that accompanies\u00a0a crisis of such magnitude. It questions the role that\u00a0contemporary art plays in these psychological and\u00a0sociological formations, by exploring whether art\u2019s\u00a0paradoxical nature promotes a new normative way\u00a0of being in the world, rooted in doubt, by teaching us\u00a0to embrace ambiguous stances and events, or rather\u00a0attests to the emancipating possibilities of novel\u00a0connections beyond already formatted pathways and\u00a0network exchanges.<\/p>\n

Katerina Athanasopoulou (Athens, born in 1974) is an animation artist who lives and works in London. She studied painting at the School of Fine Arts, Aristotle University in Thessaloniki and completed an Animation M.A. at the Royal College of Art in London.<\/p>\n

Lena Athanasopoulou (Thessaloniki, born in 1979) is a visual artist. She studied at the Chelsea College of Art and at Goldsmiths College, University of London in the Department of Visual Arts and the Department of Media and Communications.\u00a0She currently lives and works in Thessaloniki.<\/p>\n

Zo\u00eb Giabouldaki (Alexandroupoli, born in 1982) studied plastic arts and art sciences at the University of Ioannina. She currently lives and works in a random place.<\/p>\n
