SUMMARY:Beyond Fear: opening 15/7/2023
DESCRIPTION:‘Beyond Fear’\nFear is an experience that reminds us that we are animals.\nAdrenaline flows through our bodies, our hearts pound and sweat pours from our foreheads when we feel a threat to our well-being. The neural science and biochemistry behind it all is complex, but the net result is very simple: fear helps us survive.\nZygmunt Bauman in his book ‘Liquid Fear’ analyzes the widespread penetration of fear into modern Western life and its consequences. Ulrich Beck’s theories on the risk and insecurities generated by accelerating social and technological change are along the same lines. In such an era, characterized by uncertainty and lack of trust in social structures and relationships, the individual is now faced with complex issues that he is unable to understand, let alone manage.\nNo longer able to slow down the pace of change, or even predict its direction, individuals focus their attention on things they feel they can control.\nAvoiding sun exposure, avoiding contact with bacteria, eating fatty foods, using biometrics, ‘protecting’ themselves by using cameras, fortifying themselves in gated communities are illustrative examples. In other words, fear has shifted from the realm of existential safety to the realm of self-protection.\nThe exhibition ‘Beyond Fear’ explores the context and the ways in which this displacement takes place, which eighteen artists living and producing work in Athens and Tinos will attempt to capture.\nTinos is a place that seemingly protects its inhabitants from the dangers of urban life. Life here falls short of the anxiety that runs through an urban landscape and the ‘other’ person is not necessarily a threat. Or is it not? Does fear exist here too, while the human body, social bonds, security and technology are simply perceived differently?\nThe aim of the exhibition is to be an encounter between geographically differentiated experiences of the same experience and to form the basis for a dialogue between the art scene of Athens and Tinos.\nParticipants:\nAnna Gonzalez Noguchi\nBaratto Mouravas\nByron Kalomamas\nChristina Mot\nDimitris Tampakis\nEvangelia Niarhou\nHypercomf\nJames Fuller\nJeremy Lacombe\nKonstantinos Doumpenidis\nKonstantinos Lianos\nLeuteris Naftis\nMariana Kolliri\nNiki Danai Chania\nOrionas Marangozian\nRihardos Foskolos\nSerapis\nVangelis Hatzis\nYannis Sklavounos\nYannis Voulgaris\n \nPlace: Cultural Foundation of Tinos island, 1st floor, Chora Tinos\nDuration: 15-30 July 2023\nExhibition opening: 15 July 2023, 20:00.\nOpening hours of the exhibition:\nMonday, Wednesday & Thursday: 9:00 – 14:30\nFriday– Sunday: 10:00 – 14:00 & 19:00 – 21:30\n \n
