SUMMARY:Folk Fiction Deluxe
DESCRIPTION:Xmas Party \n\nFolk Fiction Deluxe OMS Xmas Party\nWe’re thrilled to invite you to the Folk Fiction Deluxe Xmas Party next Thursday\, December 22nd.\nThe night begins with a screening of the film El Lado Quieto (2021) by Carolina Fusilier and Miko Revereza to mark the closing of our group show “Folk Fiction” curated by Ariana Kalliga.\nThe film navigates the spectral remains of Capaluco\, an island off the pacific coast of Mexico. Among the concrete remains of Capaluco’s theme parks\, fabricated Greek ruins and deserted beach hotels\, nature is steadily gaining ground. We hear the voices of disembodied tour guides\, interspersed with intimately recorded\, speculative conversations between the artists as they reflect on a mysterious sea creature\, sweeping from the Philippines to Mexico. This sea creature is the Siyokoy\, a mythical amphibian found in Philippine folklore and Class b terror films.\nDeluxe OMS party will continue on the dancefloor with DJ sets by Iasonas Kampanis\, Aristeidis Lappas and Konstantinos Lianos.\n\nINFO\n22.12.2022\nFilm Screening at 6 PM\nParty at 8 PM till late

The posters are pigmented inkjet prints on 189g/m2 matt paper. They are released in affordable editions of 10 alongside 1 exhibition print and 1 artist’s proof. The prints are made on demand by Atelier Martin Garanger in Paris.\nLapin-Canard is non-lucrative and remits 60% of profits to the artist. Releases are always celebrated with music\, libations and dances\, in Paris or elsewhere.\n\nLapin-Canard\nby Vincent Pécoil \nIn the beginning\, “Lapin-Canard” was the name given to parties at a bar in Belleville\, organised by\nMatthieu Clainchard and Nicolas Milhé. Since these parties brought together a large number of artists\, the\nidea naturally arose to also make them into artistic events. To avoid the exhibition-in-a-bar pitfall\, with its\nslightly sad connotation of being an exhibition for lack of anything better\, the principle adopted was to\nproduce artists’ posters and present them at each party\, initially one\, and subsequently several. The poster\nor posters were affixed to one of the large windows of the restaurant-bar\, so that they were visible from the\noutside. The first Lapin-Canard party accompanied by the presentation of one of these prints took place on\n1 May 2015 at La Cantine Fabien\, a restaurant-bar located on the Place of the same name. La Cantine\nFabien became the group’s Command Post\, across from the headquarters of the other CP*. In the summer\nof 2015\, Lapin-Canard became an association and publishing house.

SUMMARY:Stef Kamaris: Play Dead
DESCRIPTION:Solo Show \nCurated by Florent Frizet and Nadja Geer \n  \n  \nCheese is time\, time is money\, money is monopoly:  Not only in his art but also in his aphorisms Stef Kamaris formulates a critique of the commodification of capitalism. Kamaris invents instead a coherent world of his own non-representative logic that follows up the pattern of a revolutionary poetic language. This art works with poetry\, semiotics and politics to create a subversive\, punkish\, individual and original truth. A truth you do not come across very often any more in the times of post-truth and influencing. \nOriginality irritates. To call Stef’s work “original” seems nearly understated. Plaster-Bunnies\, Happy Cakes\, Slot Machines\, Credit Rocks\, Banana Carpets\, PacMen\, Fried Eggs\, Jesus Jars\, Flamboyant Sponges\, Oracles from Delphi\, Adams&Eves and Great Great Grand Fathers. Some of these artworks are made out of pillows and cigarettes\, some of them use plaster and concrete and dead fishes\, but a lot – really a lot – are made out of cheese. Babybel Cheese\, Emmental Cheese – and let’s not forget the Danish Blue Cheese.

SUMMARY:Head2Head
DESCRIPTION:HEAD2HEAD is a visual art festival connecting the two dynamic and ever-expanding art scenes of Athens and Reykjavik. The project aims to create fertile ground for the two art scenes to connect\, build bridges and networks through an artistic dialog and exhibition exchange.

Connecting these two kindred art scenes are the artist-run A – DASH (GR) and Kling & Bang (IS) collaborating with 11 artist-run spaces in Athens showcasing the works of 45 Greek and Iceland-based artists. HEAD2HEAD Athens is the first phase of a bilateral visual art festival. The second phase of the project takes place in Reykjavík in 2023\, bringing Athens-based artists to Reykjavík with a parallel exhibition program in various artist-run exhibition spaces in Reykjavík. \nArtists exhibiting in OMS: Ásta Fanney (performance)Logi Leo Gunnarsson\, Ólöf Helga Helgadóttir and Vasilis Zarifopoulos

SUMMARY:Tiffon: Empty Hours
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Les Heures Creuses aims to restore memories and urban observations\, appearing during the “off-peak hours” – or more literally translated “the empty hours” – times between one and five o’clock\, when the city freezes\, while the sun continues to cloud tracks and thoughts. In this exhibition\, the sculptures converse in a personal composition\, to translate a personal vision of a city that is simultaneously in transition and frozen in time.  Tiffon composes in space\, representing an archaeology of her memories and observations with an assemblage of colors\, shapes\, and materials. Restored out of their architectural context\, inhabiting a different scale in the gallery\, her personal limits of the city have become sculptures. \nAthens is a city with layered history. The fetishisation of Ancient Greece obscures its three thousand-year-long history; wars\, occupation\, internal migration\, the influence of religion\, economic crisis … Oblivion has won over culture; its power has overcome so many stories and traces of the past. In times emergency we are once again forced to pierce through oblivion and to recover part of the historical and cultural heritage\, to transform the appearance of ancient edifices and their function. The ruins of the present are pilled upon the older ones\, while new constructions\, often unfinished\, stay waiting their next oblivion. Athens\, despite its fragile and ad hoc development\, doesn’t collapse though. Inventive\, surprising and rebellious\, it is reborn again and again from its own ruins\, building itself from its own debris\, constantly reinventing itself\, defying its assigned roles. Contemporary and older lifestyles\, nodes of representations and architectures are forced to coexist. \nThe empty hours are not confined in the interior of the bedroom anymore\, hidden from the sun\, nor in the closed eyelids of the resting bodies. They spill over the edges\, on the street and fill the buildings. Emptiness and passivity engulfs the entirety of Athens that lies dormant in the middle of the day. Another rhythm spreads in this feverish atmosphere\, slipping into every detail of everyday life. Frozen time is the one of the building sites abandoned by its workers\, it is the unshakable marble of the temples\, which keeps the past in its veins\, the time that precedes the agitation of an effervescent city. Covered with tags\, posters\, and slogans\, walls keep in themselves the sound of revolts and protests; the silence of off-peak hours is an illusion.
