Teach me something wonderful, exhibition asks

An ongoing exhibition at eins gallery is asked by Greek artist Socrates Fatouros to Teach Me Something Wonderful.

“Socrates Fatouros,” writes curator and art advisor Odette Kouzou, “re-synthesises narratives and pictures from previous eras, recovers memories attempting their reconstruction by creating an indefinite and otherworldly installation inside the gallery space, where he invites us to enter. The construction of an environment designed to perform intentional gestures is the starting point of an empirical situation for who might enter.

“The exhibition title Teach Me Something Wonderful, reveals explicitly the need of the artist to learn from us the viewers what we have obtained from our experience in this unprecedented environment. Fatouros creates a narrative around three main characters/thematics; the beast, the hunters and the bait. Those three elements of the installation set the narrative we are called to take part in. By placing the viewers inside this encapsulated space, Fatouros suggests a process towards experiencing and viewing the world and ourselves. The question who is the beast after all comes to the foreground. Are we?”
