Mario Miličić: One Way Vision*

The source of inspiration. A material used mostly for commercial purposes finds itself thrown away because its too small to be used. Alone in the dumpster, it looses its life's purpose.

A young man, aware of his surroundings, walks out of the building where his parents live and looks to the right. A strong force draws his curious spirit to the place where the dumpsters dwell. „It's just dumpsters, what are you doing?“ says his worried mind. „No reason for you to go there, its just trash, forget about it and be on your way“. The young man already knows that he should not listen to his troublesome mind and he cautiously proceeds towards the energy source.

He had seen these dumpsters before. They all look the same around the city, domestic waste dumpsters full of useless trash, just standing there and waiting to be filled.

But one of these dumpsters catches his eye. At the first sight, it looks like an ordinary dumpster. Also it smells like one but there is something special about it and he can tell that it comes from the inside. The need to open it is so strong that he can't resist it, he pushes the lid to open it and his mind is instantly blown away. It's a dumpster full of digital print shop scraps. Some huge white stickers (he was in love with stickers at the time), some plastic materials that could be used as a good surface for some art work, some leftover test prints and some weird looking piece of material. What is this? He takes it to have a closer look. Suddenly, for a moment, the world stops spinning. There are no sounds, no thoughts, just pure existence, just him and the magic material. He takes it and walks away from the dumpsters, not aware that the material he holds in his hands will be his gateway to another dimension. Ten years later...exhibition in Athens.

*One way vision is a unique material, perforated printable self-adhesive vinyl used to display advertising images and graphics. This vinyl sticker allows you to look from the inside out, but not the other way around. It is the most popular material for wrapping shop windows, windows in public transport vehicles or cars of a company fleet. But not in this case…

Ari-Pekka Leinonen: L=10

L=10 is a minor tragedy about an inability to L=10. To overcome this incompetence a loudspeaker-headed-puppet prepares to leave I behind in order to enter the world of U.

Rastapunka: Memory Carrier

18.3.–31.3.22
Opening 17.3. Dj set by JEKS

Open daily via appointment

––––––––––––––––––––––– I started taking photographs from stories which needed to be stored. What was earlier as an urge to document my expeditions turned to a desperation to recall past events. But no matter how lucky the snapshot may be, the tableau remains quiet. How to hear the whispers and hear-says, expand the ambience and carry the encounters with you? Superman stored his long gone recollections in memory crystals. To be Superman.

Rapid development of technology has brought 3d crystal engravings to gift shops, offering motives from wedding to family portraits. By replacing the typical placeholders with extraordinary adventures, I'm attempting to freeze time within a keepsake. The commodified technique may seem kitschy but also associates with a recent improvement on data storage technology; a small piece of quartz crystal is capable to store hundreds of terabytes of data which will outlive the human race and possibly the whole universe.

Besides of data, the exhibited crystals includes three-dimensional photographs shot by yours truly and composed by a laser; an analog expedition perfected with digital technology where the subtracted material creates an image from the void. As the memory of the event fades out, a memory carrier filled with nothing remains.

Helena Aleksandrova’s newest video work "BOYRIDE"

&

HASH MEGASHOW

Friday 4.3.2022

BOYRIDE is a video work by Helena Aleksandrova with music by HASH band. It is a joyful journey to the world of cars, women and rock-n-roll. Oh Boy! Enjoy the ride!

HASH MEGASHOW is a name for a rock performance by HASH. The megalomaniac title will create expectations for the possible outcome. By this performance HASH explores the responsibility of naming things, and fashionable outlooks among other important factors of MEGASHOW. HASH is a Helsinki-based musical transformer that has graduated from the School of Rock, and is currently finishing the Doctoral dissertation from the School of Night.

Helena Aleksandrova is a Helsinki-based artist and filmmaker from Saint-Petersburg. She recently took a winter course in the School of Night under the supervision of HASH. She is currently interested in juxtaposing rocks and feathers.

Dimitris Tampakis

“two rims”,”Philippe Petit”,”stories about fear”, “a ceramic replica of 6th century”,”traps traps and parasites”,”mind your head”, “call of the void”, “20kg aluminum” and “4kg stonewear” that happened last months at @bajramovic.unlimited

25.-28.2.2022

Dimitris Tampakis exhibition following his 2 months residency project at Banjaramovic Unlimited. A continue of his work “ your ceo is probably a psychopath”.

A dialogue between luxury image and brutal gestures.

Metallic pieces made of recycled alumium, two rims.

Portrait of Philippe Petit, a lucky guy with the lack of the ability to feel fear. Ceramic replica of an Etruscan helmet in the shape of a wolf’s head 6th-5th centuries BCE, a predator's helmet without any pretty decorations to hide with.

Big thanks to friends @lazarosfilippos @euripides_papadopetrakis @fatourossocrates

In the beginning of 2021 the Bajramovic Unlimited invited Niklas Hallman and Eeli Saaristo to do a show in their artist run gallery in Athens. We were given contextual freedom to plan and execute the show in the best manner we saw to fit us. This is the first time we are working together to put on a gallery show since our studies in Gerrit Rietveld Academy, in Amsterdam.

Our common ground for the show is our interest in post-presentionalism and it's trajectory to the combination of sculptural objects and two dimensional drawings. The objects likeness is outlined by the predetermined factors that go into making and understanding the semiotical readings of the objects. The objects reach a point of unfamiliarity through the usage of materials and modification.

We have chosen to work with the image of a butterfly, physically and symbolically, we both engage our artistic practices individually and together, in the shape of an installation. The Butterfly is a symbol of the travel over material liability. One of the main texts inspiring the exhibition ''Stars are blind'' is the short story of Nathaniel Hawthorne ''The artist of the beautiful'' where from we loan humoristically the juxtaposition of conceptual and practical work as an art piece.

We are ready to invite you at a football event!

There will be cool animals loved by their owners that strike goals cheered by football fans that love döner loved by animals loved by their owners that strike goals cheered by football fans that lovedöner loved by animals………

Are you ready?

Little Poem

Döner is wanted by football fans
Döner is wanted by pets that are fun
Döner is fun
But where is MY döner?

*Don't expect eating döner at the event
Only souvlaki for you..
And it will be vegan
Of course.
Come Come football Fan Come Come it will be Fun!

ATTENTION FROM THE LOCAL PRESS!!

@tefra90 @frederxdxd @gagnant.athina @bajramovic.life

Frederik Maier & TEFRA90 present their new exhibition in the newborn Artist-run space "Bajramovic Unlimited" in Athens! Curated by the artists and the host.

Dealing with Escapism and that "Risk" taken before a temporary feeling of Freedom brought to life all artworks showcased in this duo-show. Riding on two wheels often isn't enough to feel alive. Performing acrobatic moves on one wheel is a way to specify a more accurate self position and solve your existencial issues. A "Wheelie" as a symbol for us stands for the "scientific" method to prove that you can manage having a closer distance to death and before harming yourself. Brain and body get to co-work perfectly tuned in the absolut machine-human cooperation for a demanding result with no mistakes allowed. Braap Braaap!

21:00 Live Performance by ΓΚΑΝΙΑΝ.
