History of Site and Related Water Issues:
The “Umbrellas” is a sculpture created by the Greek artist Zogolopoulos. Zogolopoulos art is about horizontalizing any exoteric and vertical/ hierarchical imposition that, especially within hegemonic structures, bares the mask of an absolute necessity. In the name of Greek depression, this “by necessity” absolute, manifests in the name of privatized profit. As a result, both the Public Water Corporation of Greece and Thessaloniki’s harbor are about to become privatized puppets within a theatre that is mainly directed by privileged minorities.
Music:
Drums, drums and drums!
The Performance:
Inspired by the artistic work of Antonin Artaud and the discursive art of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, this piece is imagining ways of disorganizing the pre-assigned and pre-given social body. As a result, through performance, it invents non-yet imagined ways of social organization through bridging the social with the somatic and street performance with political praxis.
Directions to the Site of Performance:
The “Umbrellas” are located at the seafront in Thessaloniki on the left side of the White Tower.
