about

I can not look at nature. I haven’t seen the painters’ landscapes on site. In books and on screen, the images,
they now look red, they now look grey
and that is fine.
The distance from the surface is one way or another more important.
These photos I collect, I do not distinguish them from my personal ones.
They are not photos of facts, but they can help me to recollect.

I usually ask them:
How many objects are there?
The answer rather depends
on the sense of security and sometimes on the income.
Are there objects or a landscape?

Can you open your gaze toward the outward edges?
This cross-eyed vision gradually vanishes, and in a few generations may be totally lost.
This is how I look at an object that is not really selfsame.
I do not understand what it is I am looking at there, but it consists of tubes, pieces of airplane seats and flowers.

The body behind the window is heavy and frail, especially when you get out with the other kids on the street.


-Andreas Ragnar Kassapis (translated from Greek by Michalis Varouxakis)



Pliancy is a sound installation consisted of two amplifiers and two mobile phones on a table enfolded by four paintings.

The paintings depict flowers on a flower pot, in three variations gaped by a painting of ambiguous abstraction.
Two different music phrases in a delicate asynchronicity
all sounds recorded with a recorder flute, pitch sifter and loop station..

presented at Radio Athènes, Institute for the advancement of contemporary visual culture.

Petraki 15, Athina 105 63

November 7— December 24, 2022



from the press release :

Kassapis’ serial paintings of objects and landscapes often vary ever so slightly from one another—a flowerpot makes an appearance twice, thrice, four times, but each painting starts anew, each painting is unique, different, exploring as he says, “subjective experience and lived time, concepts of mood (Stimmung) and duration (la durée), the notion of distance, perspective, and its distortions.” The four works on panel and canvas in Pliancy envelop two musical compositions playing simultaneously, in delicate asynchronicity.
