At Soft Walls, we invite artists and curators that inhabit Athens permanently, occasionally or momentarily to share excerpts, points, reasonings and thoughts around their practice in the context of an artist talk.
Soft Walls function as listening and exchanging platforms, invitations and opportunities to meet, share and fill the space with words and thoughts that we consider vehicles and catalysts for our shared experiences. 🎙
👀 Andreas Ragnar Kassapis (b.1981, Greece) in his is practice is devoted to painting, sound and text. In each medium, there is a sluggish repetitive mood in rhythm and composition. The issues of space and object, perspective, duration, overtone, layering and flatness, involuntary mistakes and in conclusion the issue of memory within the cultural context of technical images are some of his directions.
