Nikos Markou. Topos. Nuances of Space

14

5 June – 26 July 2009 / Cuenca, Spain

Exhibition curated by: Vangelis Ioakimidis
Production-Organization: TMP
With the support of the Greek Embassy in Madrid and the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The exhibition is presented as part of the PHotoEspana 2009 in Cuenca.

The exhibition revolves around the notion of wandering and focuses on Nikos Markou journeys in Greece. This is not a typical aspect of Greece that meets the standard stereotypes. We meet landscapes -natural and urban- which disclose the country’s uniqueness and differentiality to itself and to the European imagery. But most of all in these colored pictures we arrive at a place (in Greek “Topos”) of complex simplicity: all works prima facie seem simple, but after having understood the details’ role embedded in the work’s totality then we are allowed to open readings and to a place where the nuances reconstitute the meaning over and over again.
