Stake attention in this memory
A close-up shot captures a person's hands holding open an exhibition catalog or book, presumably reading. The background is a blurred, light-colored, textured surface, possibly a wicker pattern. A black wristband with the partial word "RENG" (likely part of "STRENGTH") is visible on the left wrist. The open book displays text and an image. On the left page, a rectangular artwork is shown, labeled "Chryssa, New York Stock Exchange, 1973-79," described as "Λάδι σε καμβά, 98×74cx" (Oil on canvas, 98x74cm) from an "Ιδιωτική συλλογή" (Private collection). The artwork itself is a dark, textured rectangle. The title "NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE" appears on the artwork. Below the image, a large headline reads "Αδειάζει, γεμίζει, το φως" (Empties, fills, the light). The exhibition dates are "ΝΟΕ 20-ΦΕΒ 16" (November 20 - February 16), and the curators are "Επιμέλεια: Τάκης Μαυρωτάς, Πάνος Γιαννικόπουλος". The Greek text describes the exhibition's focus on the importance of light in art, featuring works by Chryssa, Stephen Antonakos, and Yiannis Bouteas. It discusses light's evolution from a painter's tool to an independent artistic medium since the 1960s, noting Greek artists' use of neon lighting. The text also mentions the exhibition is co-curated by the director of the Theocharakis Foundation, Taki Mavrotas, and Panos Giannikopoulos, referring to a Greek pavilion at a biennale.
