Images from EVERYNIGHT at the closed Alphaville cinema. Grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with people I admire in developing this project. Earlier in December, the historic arthouse cinema Alphaville—closed since 2008—reopened for two nights. Remnants of its past lives were presented alongside an in-situ installation by Chrysanthi Koumianaki, connecting past and present and guiding visitors through a loose sequence of moving images by Shaheen Ahmed, Eleni Bagaki, Shadi Habib Allah, Sky Hopinka, Katerina Komianou, Simon Lässig, Manolis D. Lemos, Bahar Noorizadeh, Valentin Noujaïm, Louiza Ntourou, Lydia Ourahmane, Leslie Thornton, and Eleni Tomadaki; readings by Yorgis Chronas, Georgia Diakou, Panagiotis Evangelidis, Dimitra Ioannou, Manolis D. Lemos, Jack McConville, Rallou Panagiotou, and E. Scourti; and a live set for cello and electronics, soundtrack to Jack Smith’s Normal Love (1963), by Viki Steiri— all reflecting on, and mediating, dreams. Using the dream as a lens, EVERYNIGHT traces an intimate cartography of our fractured present. If you didn’t manage to catch the exhibition, there will be a final screening and discussion at @tainiothikigr on 19 January 2026, hosted by @artworksgreece . The programme concludes with Stanley Schtinter’s lecture-screening-performance Last Movies at @tainiothikigr on 22 & 23 January 2026. More info to follow soon. —— EVERYNIGHT is made possible with the financial support and under the auspices of @minculturegr . It is supported by the 2025 @artworksgreece Grants programme, funded by @snforg and other individual donors, and with the support of @neongreece . The closed Alphaville cinema was generously made available by @fournos_theatre and Fournos Lab. The exhibition at Alphaville was realised with the support of @onassis.foundation Onassis AiR. 📸@gerasimoupinelopi

Typically emotional to see EVERYNIGHT in the epic normally closed Alphaville cinema for witch we designed graphic paraphernalia. The exhibition that draws subtile lines between moving-image works and Athenian cinema culture projects bright points into our opaque present. Our design is proposing a parallel between looking to flickering film grains or pixels and the astrological gaze both systems of interpretation to understand something of our present future and past.

Silent Night returns next week Screenings: Tuesday 28 - Thursday 30/1, 9–12 pm Live music performance: Wednesday 29/1, 9 pm Last December, Eleni Bagaki, Nicolas Cilins, Manolis D. Lemos, Katerina Komianou, Louiza Ntourou, and Eleni Tomadaki, six artists who live in the wider neighborhood of Plateia Vathis, shared dreams they experienced or imagined through primarily new, silent, moving image works; projected in a night-long loop at Vatsaxi street. These private experiences each of them had in close proximity to one another, will be presented again publicly over three nights, from Tuesday, January 28 until Thursday, January 30, from 21:00 to midnight.  In this second project iteration, the mediation of dreams is also explored through sound. Dreams are not inherently soundless, they can include auditory elements that feel vivid, contributing to the overall sensory experience of the dream. Composer, cellist, pianist, and artist Viki Steiri will mediate her own dreams through a live performance of cello on Wednesday, January 29, at 21:00. The project approaches this often-quiet street as a scenography where personal explorations of unconscious experiences become embedded with the urban landscape. The production of the screening is supported by Onassis AiR. @minculturegr @neongreece #OnassisAiR Photo: @nefeli.papaioannou

Silent Night Eleni Bagaki Nicolas Cilins Manolis D. Lemos Katerina Komianou Louiza Ntourou Eleni Tomadaki share the dreams they dreamt or imagined through, mostly new, silent moving image works. These private experiences each artist had in close proximity to one another, will be projected together in a loop, over the night hours of Thursday. Voyeristic looks into neighbouring apartments on Marni street, are followed by those inside an empty bar nearby, where desire is transactional. Birds fly free as they turn into planes that throw bombs, while Theseus dramatically saves Ipodamia from a centaur on Victoria square. Continually-morphing ai generated abstract landscapes are junxtaposed with hand drawn animations, both mediating mental states that seem ineffable. From 10 pm. Vatsaxi Street.

Silent Night Eleni Bagaki, Nicolas Cilins, Manolis D. Lemos, Katerina Komianou, Louiza Ntourou, Eleni Tomadaki Vatsaxi Street From 22:00- all night. For Silent Night, Panos Fourtoulakis invites six artists—Eleni Bagaki, Nicolas Cilins, Manolis D. Lemos, Katerina Komianou, Louiza Ntourou, and Eleni Tomadaki—who all reside in the broader neighborhood of Plateia Vathis, to share and reflect on dreams they have experienced or imagined through silent moving images, each lasting up to five minutes, the average length of a dream. These personal, private experiences, each artist had in close physical proximity to one another, will be projected together in a loop on Vatsaxi Street. Silent Night approaches the often-quiet street as a scenography where personal explorations of unconscious experiences are embedded with the urban landscape. Passersby can experience these images during the night on Thursday, December 19, from 22:00. A second iteration of the project will happen in late January 2025, with dates to be announced soon.

Queer Zines as Windows to Forgotten Realities: Kontrosol sto Chaos is a text I wrote about the ground-breaking queer zine that was published in Greece between 1986-1992 for @emstathens new online journal, @octopus_emst The text looks at how queer zines and other self-published magazines of that period challenged societal norms, responded to the devastating effects of the  HIV/AIDS epidemic and served to create and foster community when the means of expression and representation were limited.  I’m very grateful to everyone I had the opportunity to discuss with in the process of writing and to Theophilos Tramboulis for commissioning this piece.  The research for this work happened during my residency at Onassis AiR.

Very happy to have cocurated this with dear @davidaisouthard Dioramas & the Director’s Anchor ⚓ Sessions Arts Club 1st June - September 2024. You are invited to navigate the three-hundred-year-old dining room and discover artworks by Hélène Fauquet, Tamara Henderson, Georgina Hill, Ian Law, Joanna Piotrowska, Anna Jung Seo, Daniel Sinsel, Maria Toumazou. The works, like dioramas, present representations of memories, dreams, and visions alongside documentation of past events, often captured in domestic and private environments, currently presented in this public setting. Sessions House was once a courthouse that played a significant role in processing people for judgment and possible exportation by nearby ships to penal colonies. Throughout its long history, it has also had links to various mystical and religious groups, including the Free Masons, as well a fictional setting in Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Now a busy restaurant, a set, or itself a diorama, where a series of scenes unfold daily by those present, live and mediated, all under - The Director’s Anchor (2023). Grateful to the artists Hélène Fauquet, Tamara Henderson, Georgina Hill, Ian Law, Joanna Piotrowska, Anna Jung Seo, Daniel Sinsel, Maria Toumazou With thanks to their galleries #hélènefauquet, @earthworm1982 @ian.law @sylvia_kouvali @georginalhill @southparade_ @janka_piotrowska @phillidareid_grapestreet @annajungseo @projectnativeinformant #danielsinsel @sadiecoleshq @arhaias_ledras @hot_wheels_ath_ldn
