Hommage to Dimitris Condos (1931-1996), CAN Gallery, Athens
The first tribute of CAN Gallery for 2017 focuses on the work of Dimitris Condos (1931-1996) one of the most significant artists in Greece who worked with abstraction.
Condos overcame the traditional boundaries of the frame and created works that had the potential to extend indefinitely on the wall or in the free space. In his series Transformations and Homogenesis he created gestural writing, amorphus and conceptual art pieces - while in works such as Toys for Old Children or in the Roman Pictural he focused at pieces that employed the participation of the audience in the artwork and thus became a pioneer of international level in his field. His works express his fresh and restless artistic spirit and remain contemporary and bold examples of an unprecedented style and positioning in the visual arts in Greece and internationally.

FLOWS, Konstantinos Fazos, Anna-Maria Samara, CAN Gallery, Athens
The current show in CAN gallery brings together the work by two artists from Athens and Thessaloniki respectively, who have never met, they work in different media (drawing and sculpture), yet they share views, ideas, as well as a profound interest towards the visual, formal and theoretical characteristics of the line. Through its repetition in their work line becomes shape, body, substance and ultimately transforms into a single united entity in space. Konstantine Fazos (b.1971) studied painting at the School of Visual and Applied Arts of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. In his latest work, he abandons representation for a more abstract route where he tracks and traces the continuous movement of matter in space. The line, which usually signifies a limit, when multiplied it no longer separates but rather creates organic links that record flows of different densities. Those flows as they are punctured or interrupted by axis they create the impression of a prismatic image. A kaleidoscope. This almost identical, repetitive motion and the fragmentation of the image becomes apparent in all of his works and demonstrate a series of obsessive, careful gestures which he performs with the seriousness of a ritual. His preoccupation with the line as the minimum element of a composition brings back the discourse around trace and surface, its symbolism, the emotions it generates through its placement in space and the way through which it releases our imagination.
Anna-Maria Samara (b.1992) graduated in 2015 from the Department of Fine and Applied Arts of the University of Western Macedonia. Her work shares electic affinities in terms of form and concept with the work of Fazos, Samara however uses materials that are historically and politically charged with some of the concepts that she investigates in her art. The line is replaced here with twine made of hemp (cannabis plant). Since 8.000BC hemp has been used by humans in 25,000 different ways, for food, clothing and even as a therapeutic or euphoric substance. Since 1936, the year that cannabis prohibition was enforced in Greece under the influence of the US anti-drug campaign, the cultivation of hemp begun to be gradually abandoned. The many advantages and diverse applications of the plant seem to have made hemp a considerable competitor to the products of many rival industries (petroleum, alcohol, tobacco, paper, etc.), thus greek hemp factories were gradually led into bankruptcy and closed. This development follows a series of historical events such as the growth of the pharmaceutical industries and their capacity to produce massive amounts of chemicals, the repeal of the alcohol Prohibition in 1933, the manufacturing of machines that were able to produce paper out of timber and last but not least, the massive introduction in the market of petrochemical products and nylon.

«Αφιέρωμα στον Νίκο Αλεξίου»
Στην ομαδική έκθεση στην CAN (μέχρι 15/10 ) η μεγάλη εγκατάσταση του Νίκου Αλεξίου στον κεντρικό χώρο της γκαλερί στόχο της έχει να μεταφέρει όλα όσα ο καλλιτέχνης είχε εργαστεί όλα αυτά τα χρόνια, από τη δεκαετία του '80 και λίγο νωρίτερα έως το τέλος, παρουσιάζοντας ένα re-staging του έργου του όπως τo είχε οραματιστεί και παρουσιάσει σε διάφορες διοργανώσεις όπως στην Μπιενάλε Βενετίας, στο Μουσείο Βυζαντινού Πολιτισμού στη Θεσσαλονίκη, στη Μπιενάλε Αλεξάνδρειας, κοκ. Παράλληλα να αναδείξει ένα πανόραμα της πρακτικής του και του εργαστηρίου του, εκθέτοντας έργα-σφραγίδες από την καριέρα του, όπως οι κατασκευές από καλάμι, οι εγκαταστάσεις με τα τραπέζια, οι καλαμωτοί σκελετοί, οι χάρτινες κουρτίνες-πλέγματα, κτλ.
Από αυτή την έκθεση-αφιέρωμα δεν θα μπορούσε να λείπει ο Λευτέρης Αλεξίου, πατέρας του Νίκου, αυτοδίδακτος, ερασιτέχνης καλλιτέχνης, ο οποίος επηρεάστηκε βαθιά από το καλλιτεχνικό έργο του γιου του και που φυσικά ήταν ο πρώτος που τον μιμήθηκε στις αυτοσχέδιες κατασκευές από ξυλαράκια, νήμα και καλάμια.
Συμμετέχουν επίσης με έργα – homage στον Αλεξίου οι Μαρία Οικονομοπούλου, Λευτέρης Τάπας, Δημήτρης Τάταρης, Στρατής Ταυλαρίδης.
