It’s midnight on a deserted street in Athens. A young woman is stabbed to death by a stranger, who instantly slips into the shadows. The alleged perpetrator, John Zachos, is a mentally unstable young man who fantasizes about killing women. He believes this gives him a sense of empowerment and validates his manhood as dictated by society at large. After his arrest, he immediately confesses to the murder, but during the trial it becomes apparent that his testimony is a recreation of what he reads in the press and is full of inconsistencies. The search for the truth is hanging in the balance and the battle between society and individual continues to rage.
The second part of exhibition illustrates Alberto Giacometti’s relations with Post-Cubist artists and the Surrealist movement between 1922 and 1935, one of the important sculptures series he created during his first years in Paris, and the critical role he played in the art scene of the period.
It was a quiet night in the dessert. Even the mice weren’t around. A few LEDs blinked in the dark, and the sound of a fan filled the infinite void. The conversation cutting the silence seemed to go nowhere.
The exhibition “Look At Me! Portraits and Other Fictions from the ”la Caixa” Contemporary Art Collection” examined portraiture, one of the oldest artistic genres, through a significant number of works of our times. Paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos shaped a labyrinth of gazes that invite spectators to reflect themselves in the social mirror of portraits.
