PERIOD 2001-2007

KORΙΤSΑ-ΑLΒΑΝΙΑ


In 19 May 2006, Lampros Psyrrakis participates in the project of the State Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki , curated by Professor Elias Mikoniatis  entitled " Arrivals " . The exhibition took place in Koritsa and Tirana in Albania. Lampros Psyrrakis is depicted on a canvas observing a framed painting with colored ribbons. Next to that a painted work with ribbons is exposed unframed. Not far away a three-dimensional box wrapped with real colored ribbons  is placed! So we have a painting that seems to be  classic in style, an abstract  modernistic painting next to the previous one, and  somewhere beyond a three-dimensional object -package, wrapped in colored ribbons mimicing the two adjacent artworks. It is literally a "whimsical entanglements" , which is the title of the corresponding one man shows made in Athens and Thessaloniki by Lampros Psyrrakis. Ironic comment on conceptual art by J. Kosuth or postmodern reference to R. Magrite? It 's up to the viewer to decide.
