Electrified Echoes

Yorgos Stamkopoulos

  

 

25 January – 22 March 2025
Opening day: 25 January 2025, 12 – 6 pm

 

Electrified Echoes explores themes of transformation, loss, and renewal, reflecting the intersection of Yorgos Stamkopoulos’ artistic journey with his experiences in Berlin’s dynamic cultural and musical landscape. Stamkopoulos has spent much of his adult life in Berlin, where he developed his career as a painter. In addition to his painting practice, he created visuals for DJs at the iconic Watergate club, a cornerstone of Berlin's clubbing history. This parallel activity not only influenced his creative process but also provided a space of freedom, solidarity, and unrestrained creativity, leaving a profound mark on his work.

Η έκθεση «Electrified Echoes» εξετάζει θέματα σχετικά με τη μεταμόρφωση και την απώλεια, αναστοχαζόμενη την καλλιτεχνική πορεία του Σταμκόπουλου, η οποία συνδέεται άρρηκτα με το πλούσιο πολιτιστικό και μουσικό περιβάλλον του Βερολίνου. Η έκθεση θα διαρκέσει έως τις 22 Μαρτίου, 2025. Ο Γιώργος Σταμκόπουλος έχει περάσει το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της ενήλικης ζωής του στο Βερολίνο, όπου ανέπτυξε την καριέρα του ως ζωγράφος. Παράλληλα με τη ζωγραφική του, δημιουργεί οπτικά εφέ για DJs που εμφανίζονταν στο εμβληματικό κλαμπ Watergate, ένα σημείο αναφοράς για την ιστορία της νυχτερινής ζωής του Βερολίνου. Αυτή η παράλληλη δραστηριότητα όχι μόνο επηρέασε τη δημιουργική του διαδικασία, αλλά του προσέφερε έναν χώρο ελευθερίας, αλληλεγγύης και ανεξέλεγκτης δημιουργικότητας που άφησε ανεξίτηλο αποτύπωμα στο έργο του.

In Callirrhoe's presentation, the three artists' positions explore the concept of refuge as an imaginary landscape, offering a retreat from the noise of everyday life. Their works collectively emphasize art's power to create serene environments where viewers can momentarily escape the relentless pressures of modern existence. Ileana Arnaoutou & Ismene King use speculative fabulation (Donna Haraway), combining sci-fi and ecological thinking to create hybrid forms between the mechanical and the organic. Yorgos Stamkopoulos performs imagined geographies through his abstract paintings and multilayered sculptures, which have a therapeutic effect on his tinnitus. He draws inspiration from the Mediterranean landscape, with which he has an amniotic relationship, and from music, which provides a sense of oasis. Paky Vlassopoulou uses magical thinking and children’s immersion in fantastical imaginary worlds to foster nuanced understandings of reality. With animist imagination, she creates shelters for various creatures on different scales, offering a return to play, failure, and dreaming as sites of radical potential.

Callirrhoë is thrilled to welcome and the editions by Anna Ebner-Quadri to take over the gallery space and create an exhibition among friends, for friends and for us all. For the series yours truly (working title), two artist friends create editions with each other in mind. Creative exchange, collegial recognition, solidarity, interest, and friendship—near and far—underlie the resulting works. They are evidence of a community that emerges in its smallest form of action: the private, everyday exchange and communication with one another, which often has a great impact and resonance. The editions are published in an edition of 25 + 5 AP, with a maximum format of 30 x 40 cm.
