Nike Savvas at the event ‘Art in the public sphere’; photo: Studio Panoulis.
NIKE SAVVAS was recently invited by The Art Newspaper Greece as one of the key speakers in their first public event “Η Τέχνη στην Δημόσια Σφαίρα (Art in the Public Sphere)”.
In this event, Savvas shared about her experience of creating art in public space, as well as her intentions behind her projects. In her conversation with Alexandra Koroxenidis, she explained: “My art seeks to eliminate classifications and genealogies. In this context, the hierarchies between the private and the public are annulled.” She also shared, ”In a way, my work is also an attempt to give a feminine aspect to the male-dominated tradition of abstract expressionism and minimalism…”
A video recording of the whole event will soon be available on the website of artnewspaper.gr.
‘Suspended Figures’ series on the corner of Barrack and York Streets, Sydney; photo credit: Anna Kucera.
A series of photographic works by HONEY LONG & PRUE STENT were recently transformed into large-scale, site-specific public art and exhibited on the corner of Barrack and York Streets as part of the City of Sydney’s Creative Hoardings Program.
“We hope our work provides an interesting break in the cityscape and sparks people’s thoughts and feelings about their own bodily experiences,” Prue Stent and Honey Long discussed about ‘Suspended Figures’.
This series of shrouded figures playfully distorts the human form, creating a dream-like landscape intended to interrupt everyday thoughts and spark the imagination. The fluid and abstract shapes – created by the body interacting with fabric and wind – are left open for the viewer to make their own associations.
