Commonly depicted as reminiscent of an octopus or a starfish, with tentacles and a shell, Apoliti Alithia is a creature that attaches itself on a person’s head and gains control of their vision. A rooted eye protruding from the creature’s back makes its subject see solely the fixed, stable, distorted, and one-dimensional view of reality it captures. The person is never aware of the creature’s presence and enjoys the pleasurable sense of comfort Apoliti Alithia provides. According to the stories, due to its thick hide and hard shell but its tight grip as well, it is hard to remove an Apoliti Alithia from a person’s head and the host will contest any attempt for separation. Nevertheless, it is possible, although a distressing procedure for the host. The being’s origins are still not identified but speculations suggest links with a variety of entities and deities.

An object is selected to be removed from its regular place of use and it is intentionally stored in a new one. This act sometimes deactivates the initial purpose of the object which stays in the dark until it is revisited again after a period of time. When revisited, the object may carry a new purpose, a memory, a lesson, grief or bliss, even proof.

"METROPOLIS AND MEEEENTAL II"

Curated by COI

Photos by : @frankholbein

22nd March

With contributions from Palle Nielsen, Eric Stephany @ericstephany , Coyote, Marie Vedel, Albert Elm, Benjamin Savi, and others

“METROPOLIS AND MEEEENTAL II” is part of a series of exhibitions

aiming to explore the modern individual's sense of estrangement, shaped

by spatial frameworks beyond their control. Each exhibition stands indepen-

dently yet remains interwoven with others, creating a dialogue across specific

works, perspectives and places.

COI is a curatorial project and non-profit initiative that aims to present

a series of exhibitions in diverse urban spaces. The city could thus be

described as a loose-fit framework from which to create presentations

that implicitly or explicitly engage with the subject of the city and the

ways in which we make sense of, or attach meaning to the multifaceted

aspects of urban culture. The name “COI” is borrowed from a billboard

advertisement – It was part of a real estate slogan attempting to pitch

potential buyers and investors with the message: “CITY OF INTEREST”.

The exhibition is made possible through the support of the

Danish Institute in Athens and the Danish Art Foundation.

“METROPOLIS AND MEEEENTAL II” is part of a series of exhibitions aiming to explore the modern individual's sense of estrangement, shaped by spatial frameworks beyond their control. The outset for this endeavor is based on an interest in the ways in which artistic practices contribute to the understanding of the urban and its psychological dimensions. Each exhibition stands independently yet remains interwoven with others, creating a dialogue across specific works, perspectives and places.

COI is a curatorial project and non-profit initiative that aims to present a series of exhibitions in diverse urban spaces. The city as an overall theme is not surveyed in general, on the contrary, it is analyzed and portrayed from diverse, consciously fragmentary points of view. The city could thus be described as a loose-fit framework from which to create presentations that implicitly or explicitly engage with the subject of the city and the ways in which we make sense of, or attach meaning to the multifaceted aspects of urban culture. The name “COI” is borrowed from a billboard advertisement –It was part of a real estate slogan attempting to pitch potential buyers and investors with the message: “CITY OF INTEREST”.

ERIK SWARS: L

curated by Frank Holbein and Nadja Geer:

It is not surprising that a work by Erik Swars hangs next to one by Imi Knoebel in Ken Nakahashi’s gallery in Tokyo – there is something in the aesthetics of Swars, born 1988, that connects to the group around Knoebel, Rainer Giese, and Blinky Palermo, namely Swars’ purism and experimentalism.

communication/sm: Cristina Koutsolioutsou
Opening 7pm

Opening Hours:
First week (8/4-13/4): Everyday 4 to 8pm
