Jannis Kounellis

Χωρίς Τίτλο

World acclaimed artist, Jannis Kounellis exhibits a new and site specific work at the Museum of Cycladic Art, at the neoclassical Stathatos Mansion wing. Kounellis, whose contribution to the international art movement of Arte Povera has been defining, uses for this piece materials found in the local Athenian markets and junkyards, such as newspapers, coal, burlap sacks, old shoes and glasses, overcoats, soil and iron bars. Kounellis's installation can only be a response to the current turmoil, and as he puts it, “at this particular moment it would be impossible to have just an exhibition of art in Greece”.
