I Can See








Silently suffering
Hidden by an incidental smile
Holding on for something else
To come along and make my life worthwhile
'Till it comes
I'm going to be okay
Slowly waiting for the end of days
Every night I'm gonna be alright
The demons come and take care of my pride







I can see in your eyes
That what's coming aint a big surprise
I can see, oh, in your eyes
That what's coming aint a big surprise







Over time
People change
Slowly their wealth will rearrange
All the while
I keep holding on
Trying to find the will to carry on







I can see in your eyes
That what's coming aint a big surprise
I can see, oh, in your eyes
That what's coming aint a big surprise







I just want to know
Please, just let me know
I want to know
I'll do anything for you girl
Slowly nothing taking soul
I just don't want to lose control







Life is green
Alone for me
Ever since you walked right through the dark
Please believe there is no change
Brought you said you had it all before







I can see in your eyes
That what's coming aint a big surprise
I can see, oh, in your eyes
That what's coming aint a big surprise








I can see in your eyes
That what's coming aint a big surprise
I can see, oh, in your eyes

Mature Topography
Giorgos Tserionis

_at_
The ArtWall






George Tserionis is presenting his new work entity under the title ‘MATURE TOPOGRAPHY’ at the ArtWall Project Space. The exhibition presents two series of collages with images from archival material, a sculpture, a video piece, and an artist book, each contemplating the development of capitalism in relation or at the expense of nature.





  


As noted by art historian Thanassis Moutsopoulos:
One of the key demands of George Tserionis, if not of the artist in general and after Cezanne, is the familiarization and / or the deconstruction of Nature. 







Within his work «Mature Topography» Tserionis arranges existing photos, either by folding thus distorting their meaning, either through producing an architectural composition. In effect, the artist not only converses with aspects of the past such as Dada or the detournements of the Situationists, but invents new models that enclose the art of Japanese Origami and applies in on to the photographic collage”.  [ more (in Greek) ]

Someone I Know










I was thinking
of leaving
There was no one around here
I wanted to know








Then I saw someone
who
happened
to remind me of
being in the womb a long time ago










I know
and you know
that we never met before tonight
Why, then, should I feel so right
about being in your arms?








You've been good to me now
and I don't want to go
Your lips are warm and familiar
and you feel like someone i know

Black Maria












Black Maria

Campus Novel 

Salon de Vortex @ cheapArt










Black Maria was the first film production studio, created by T. Edison in 1893 in New Jersey, USA. It consists of a wooden construction, coated with tar paper, which was able to rotate in order for natural light to enter throughout the day through the retractable roof. The studio offered the possibility of sound and image recording. 








Technological advances soon made possible the construction of similar studios, which worked towards developing better techniques of image and sound synchronization and Black Maria became obsolete after only eight years. In 1903 it was demolished after a series of productions featuring a multitude of actors, dancers and performers of the time.
Black Maria is a scenic structure that reproduces devised realities inside a restricted, self-sufficient space, where "special" events are destined to take place. 
Campus Novel use Black Maria as an allegory for phantasmagoria in its contemporary urban setting.








Campus Novel group was created in Athens, in September 2011.
They elaborate various aspects of the fictitious as a viable possibility and seek to interfere in either-or situations as mediators of alternative realities. 
In their approaches they consider space to be a decisive factor and so far they have worked in situ and in site-specific projects.
The group consists of Giannis Cheimonakis, Giannis Delagrammatikas, Foteini Palpana, Giannis Sinioroglou and Ino Varvariti   [ source

Endless Summer











Listen to the tide
It pulls us in
Close to end of time
Can we begin?









Look into your eyes








Falling,
 falling,
falling,
falling









We are out of tune
But it feels so right
Tide will be in soon
This soft and light
Summer ends soon








Falling, falling, falling, falling

Still Corners

Figures that you feel are always watching. Unfamiliar figures that look familiar, and vice versa. Hyper-sensitive figures; shielded by detachment. Through the creator's belief in personal vision, and staying traditionally rich in meaning and aesthetic quality, the work worthily reaches an unprecedented climax. 









Any realistically given figure autonomously refers to the creator's visual and psychological attempt to "zoom" in situations, actions, emotions and reactions that give birth to a wide range of associations... All this, through a poetically visualized approach. [more ]
