The AlexWorldClub interview
By Dimitra Moutzouris
Friends of the Greek Island and the Sea
The Friends of the Greek Island and the Sea is a nonprofit organization founded in 1996 by the renowned musician Frangiski Psacharopoulou Karori aiming to promote the cultural and musical education of the young people who live in the remote Greek islands.
Today it is served by an elected board of 11th people, all volunteers, and supported by approximately 150 members who share the belief that all children have the right to the joy and opportunities of learning.
For its successful initiatives the organization received the “Quality Award 2001” by the “Citizen’s Movement for an open Society” and the Greek Guide Association in a special ceremony at Zappeion Megaron with the presence of the President of the Greek Republic.
We have met Mrs. Maria Constantinides, chairman of the board and devoted member over the last seventeen years to the causes of “Friends of the Greek Island and the Sea” for a conversation about their activities and future plans.
Which are the main activities of the association “Friends of the Greek Island and the Sea”? Our main activities include music workshops on the islands of Ikaria, Limnos, Kea, Santorini, Sifnos and Serifos where music teachers, carefully recruited by our Board, teach primary music education and music instruments such as piano, classic guitar, traditional violin and flute. The lessons are given both privately and in groups and lead to the formation of small orchestras which perform in musical plays and festivals. Currently a small musical play created by the students and the music teachers of the island of Serifos is about to be presented at the Lilian Boudouri Library of the Megaron Athens Music Hall. This is an enormous break through and a unique experience for the young people involved!
Another major activity of our Association is the annual painting contests for primary school children. Our young painters are encouraged to draw inspiration from their local history, tradition, and arts and a committee by prominent artists such as Panagiotis Tetsis, Alekos Levidis, Vassilis Theoharakis and Elli Solomonidou Balanou evaluate their work. The chosen paintings receive honorary prizes during a special event held at the Theoharaki amphitheater which generously hosts us.
Lastly, with the help of individual donors, we were able to provide a considerable amount of books to municipal and school libraries on the islands and to establish music libraries in all of our music workshops in support of their work.
The association is based mainly on the voluntary work and dedication of its members. To what extent has the ongoing economic crisis affected its operation? The association has been received through the years with respect and generosity by individuals, institutions, the business world and the local government on the islands. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation not only helped us to fund the establishment of two of our workshops on the islands of Ikaria and Limnos but continued its support with a generous donation for the years 2013 -14. We are immensely grateful for its valuable contribution and its continued recognition of our endeavors!
Music concert held in Ikaria island with the support of Stavros Niarchos Foundation and Municipality of Ikaria
It is quite impressive that on the whole during the financial crisis all of our workshops have made it very well in participation as well as in results. There is no doubt that this is entirely due to the enthusiasm and dedication of all the people involved and to the continuous support of our friends and our donors.
The municipality of Kea island granted the building of the old town hall for the conductions of music lessons.
One critical problem is the air travelling expenses of two islands, namely Santorini and Ikaria. However, thanks to the generosity of Aegean Air and to the contribution of the parents of our pupils we have managed to overcome this year’s crisis successfully. As a result, a third workshop was set up in Ikaria and we saw an increase in the number of students in both islands.
Traditional ceremony at the Benaki Museum of Athens
We owe special thanks to all of our donors, sponsors, and benefactors for their generous support and encouragement. These are: Stavros Niarchos Foundation, Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, Hellenic Ministry of Culture, National Bank of Greece, AXA Insurance, Aegean Speed Lines, Aegean air, Microsoft, Constitution of the Organization of Football Prognostics (OPAP), Philippos Nakas Music House, Red Cross, Iml Image Group, National History Museum, Samourka Foundation, Benaki Museum, Theocharakis Foundation for the fine arts & music” and many other individuals and friends.
In what ways could anyone support your efforts? Financial support is vital, mainly enabling us to face travelling expenses for our teachers, running costs and human resources to support the voluntary work as well as for setting up a well-planned public relations’ campaign.

We desperately need immediate renewal of our electronic equipment at the office in order to make our work more efficient. In this area sincere thanks go to Microsoft for offering the necessary software, which represents a donation of $2,872.00. We now need to get the rest of the “outfit”…
Also, our website is in great need of restructuring so that it becomes compatible with the new portable equipment; tablets, iPhones etc. The acquisition of basic audiovisual portable equipment would be equally helpful.
What are the association’s future plans? Our next step aims to the widening of our educational program in a way that it includes all members of the local societies. This, we think, will help them to appreciate and to understand the importance of the work which is done in the workshops; it will encourage more parents to send their children to them, while it could improve relationships and interaction between the members of the community especially at a time when politics and strong emotions run high.

We also aim at the introduction of new lessons for more musical instruments.This will help the formation of small orchestras and ensembles which is our ultimate goal.
Poster of the 4th Music Festival in Sifnos island
You have recently joined the community of TeamBlue. Which are your expectations and hopes regarding to your collaboration with AlewWorldClub? First of all I wish TeamBlue the best of luck! My expectations are that through its wide membership AlewWorldClub will promote the work that is being done through my Organisation by making it known to the wider international public. This I believe will enable us to take advantage of the opportunities it will create for establishing connections, gaining support by prospective donors, and possibly attracting partnerships in certain projects and programs.

SOPHIA PETRIDES: NO HOPE FOR DEATH
SOPHIA PETRIDES: NO HOPE FOR DEATH Aavora Αrt Cinema in collaboration with art historian Kalliopi Minioudaki is pleased to present Sophia Petrides: No Hope For Death, a site-relevant and selective exhibition of Sophia Petrides’ multipart sound film Breathing with the Room (2009-work in progress): a mesmerizing, gendered, tender yet discomforting contemplation on the human condition.
Breathing with the Room follows the daily trips of a nameless cast of characters through private and public spaces cinematically fleshed out by sound and dramatically animated by sonic conversations between objects, humans, animals and all the above. Anything but a conventional movie, Breathing with the Room is a visual work crafted solely with sound: a richly layered digital collage of found sonic fragments that combines familiar sounds with excerpts of music and vocal recordings. Sonically collapsing the borders of real and imaginary spaces, it uses new means to continue the exploration of the co-extensiveness of space and being that distinguishes Petrides’ sculptural, photographic and installation work, marked by the centrality of the room as a metaphor for the architecture of mind and body. Intensifying Petrides’ visual poetics of spatial intimacy, Breathing with the Room also radically contributes to the call for perceptual engagement attempted by various manifestations of contemporary visual and sound art.
No Hope For Death combines three individual works conceived as distinct scenes of Breathing with the Room: The Thought of Mother, 2014; Motorcycle Symphony, 2013; and Breathing with the Room, 2016. The exhibition is titled after a phrase from Samuel Beckett’s novel The Unnamable, a phrase recited in The Thought of Mother. This title articulates the nihilistic bite of the artist’s view of life’s contingency on death, while serving also as a commentary on the artistic and sociopolitical impasses of our time. Comprising back-to-back “screenings” of the aforementioned works against a blank cinema screen, No Hope For Death stages hour-long events of liberating embodied seeing; intense acts of listening, in the sense of Jean-Luc Nancy’s understanding of listening as an active “straining” for the meaning of sound and “a relation in self.” Unsettling the expectations of both cinema-goers and art viewers, the exhibition foregrounds the criticality of Petrides recent withdrawal from the visual image as a means to resist the relentlessness of contemporary screen culture in order to activate the atrophied sensory and emotional access to conscious and subconscious being.
Like the work itself, No Hope For Death invites the viewer to co-script Petrides’ sound film through the emotional and visual discoveries that sound can affectively initiate. Conceived as a “sonic journey from the unreality of the seen to the reality of the unseen,” Breathing With the Room orchestrates personal embodied experiences of viewing that counter narrative film’s audiovisual, ideological and emotional subjugation of the viewer, opening the work to the artist’s and each viewer’s subjective aural inhabitation of space. Rather than offering a cinematic escape it challenges viewers with an inescapable return to their own selves, led by the artist’s intimate and brutal sonic dives in the architectural, mental and bodily rooms of human existence.
Sophia Petrides is a Greek artist based in New York and Berlin. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in sculpture from Parsons, The New School, New York (1992), as well as a Bachelor’s degree in political sciences from The Panteion University, Athens (1985). She studied literature and photography at Deree College (Athens), and drawing and painting in various private institutions.
Petrides’ multidisciplinary practice encompasses drawing, photography, sculpture, sound and video, often combined in large-scale installations. Her work explores the spatial perception of the private and the psychodynamics of the esthetics of architecture and its mistrust, in conjunction with the social and political awareness of the public and its control of the private. The foundations of her practice lie in architecture, literature, philosophy, and the visual arts.
Petrides has participated in many solo and group shows in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa by Paradigm Art, Larissa Goldston Gallery, Cais Gallery, Hyundai Gallery, Projects United, Smack Mellon, Icebox, Zone D and many others. Her work has been exhibited in various museums, such as The Michigan Museum of Contemporary Art (US), Museum on the Seam (Israel), Daelim Museum (Korea), Averoff Museum (Greece) and is represented in important private and corporate collections as well as public institutions. The public debut of her recent experimentation with sound took place at a group show at the Convent of St Cecilia in New York in 2011 with the synopsis of Breathing with the Room. In Greece The Thought of Mother was first shown at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center in 2015.

ELENI PANOUKLIA – “Ό,τι φωτεινό έχει να πει, θα πρέπει να μείνει εικασία (Its luminous saying must be left a conjecture)” Palaio Elaiourgeio, Eleusis Aisxylia 2016 Exhibition Duration: September 4 –November 15, 2016
Eleni Panouklia’s large-scale, site-specific installation “Ό,τι φωτεινό έχει να πει, θα πρέπει να μείνει εικασία (Its luminous saying must be left a conjecture)” at Palaio Elaiourgeio, Eleusis, commissioned by Aisxylia 2016 and curated by Kalliopi Minioudaki, opened on September 3rd, 2016. Meant to be experienced at night, “Its luminous saying must be left a conjecture” is a mixed-media intervention that occupies select spaces of the complex of abandoned manufacturing units known today as Palaio Elaiourgeio (Old Oil Mill) of Eleusis, converting industrial ruins into an evocative earthy soundscape of difficult paths and inaccessible sanctuaries—an allegorical “whole” sunk in darkness. Beginning and ending in the backyard of the derelict factory, it consists of two cyclically communicating environments that entail separate—both collective and private—explorations to complete the work and activate the dialogue of light and dark that underpins its enigma. “Its luminous saying must be left a conjecture” immerses the viewer in a contrapuntally structured experience of darkness by combining a disorderly, pulsating landscape of powerful sonorous enclosure with a lonely ritual itinerary through the silent passageway of a long building, where an interactive event awaits each viewer. Together, the two environments seek to affectively advance both timely critical and timeless existential realizations through distinct bodily and reflective enlightenments, or, better yet, “un-concealments” of the wholeness of being in darkness. “Its luminous saying must be left a conjecture” is dialectically shaped in response to the ruinous morphology of Palaio Elaiourgeio and the polysemy of Eleusis. As a rather hopeful artistic contemplation on the hidden harmony of the world, it also responds to the nightmarish darkness and disorder that underpin life in Greece since the recent crisis, along with the sociopolitical, environmental, cultural, and personal symptoms of Western civilization’s decadence during the current state of global capitalism and the hypertrophy of spectacle. Moreover, it expands Panouklia’s interdisciplinary artistic preoccupations, putting them firmly under the light of Heraclitus’ understanding of the unity of opposites and his dialectic approach to the hidden truths of cosmic logos.

With a title whose enigmatic character fittingly hints at the mysticism of the celebrations of life and death in the Eleusinian Mysteries, “Its luminous saying must be left a conjecture” orchestrates the awakening of multisensory explorations—of the visible, the invisible, and the unhoped for—for the man of contemporary society. If it has anything luminous to say, as implied by the title’s own Heraclitean ambiguity and the optimistic openness of Panouklia, it is up to the viewer to gather it out of the darkness of the historic moment and Western thought, including that of this work. By addressing, however, the visitors, both individually and collectively, as embodied, thinking, and inevitably political parts of a tragically oppositional yet wise whole, Panouklia prompts a demystifying initiation to the unity of being as her radical “cosmopolitics”—as the “enlightening” means for man’s self-knowing rise out of the individualistic and materialistic impasses of contemporary culture—that raises the timely issue of the inextricability of personal and collective responsibility for the fate of humanity, democracy, and the planet.

Eleni Panouklia: (b.1972) is distinguished for mixed-media, site-specific installations and idiosyncratic drawings that question the limits of the sensible world, contemplating on life in light of a combined variety of scientific, philosophical, psychological and political concerns. A common feature throughout her work is the indistinguishable structures developed in the empty space between two perceptible elements or forms that allow her to create “new environments with new data.” Panouklia was born and raised in Agrinio but works and lives in Athens, Greece. She has studied painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts (2004), sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma (2003-04) and Chemistry at the University of Patras (1995). She completed her postgraduate studies in Sculpture on a scholarship that she received from the Greek State Scholarship Foundation (2007). The site-specific installation Ό,τι φωτεινό έχει να πει, θα πρέπει να μείνει εικασία (Its luminous saying must be left a conjecture) for Aisxylia 2016, Eleusis, is her fifth solo show. She has also exhibited at the Shanghai Federation of Literature and Arts (Shanghai, 2015), 2nd Mardin Biennial (Turkey, 2012), ReMap3 (Athens, 2011), 2nd Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art (2009), MIR Festival (Athens, 2008), European Mobile Lab for Interactive Media Artists (Vienna, Rovaniemi, Athens 2008-2009) and, State Museum of Contemporary Art (Thessaloniki, 2006) among others. Qbox has represented her since 2005.
