Re-locating
The Thrills
Solo exhibition, a.antonopoulou.art gellery, Athens, Greece,
3.11 - 5.12.08
In Re-locating the thrills
exhibition Arvanitis attempts to decompose the
notional and aesthetic form of mass culture products, convert it and
negate our
predominant perception of that particular form. Taking
advantage of the given
popularity
of pop culture and its products, he uses references to music, cinema
and fine arts, having as goal the wish to reform the thrilling relation
between the spectator and the work of art. By defining the works
aesthetic and critical dimension, he proposes new possibilities to
approach and experience visual art and exposes us to a complete
different reading of the globalized culture of the spectacle.
