My Art Exhibition with @mariandavp in an Oil Press Factory of the 19th century (Elaia Arts Festival)

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello All!

Today I was going through my photo albums from previous exhibitions either solo sculpture or group with other art forms and @mariandavp and found a folder with photos of one of the most difficult to set up, but also the most pleasurable in terms of acceptance, exhibition in my life.

That exhibition took place in a very old oil press factory in Naxos that is now a museum but had never been used as a gallery before the Elaia Arts Festival was introduced in the art scene of Cyclades Islands.

To be honest I was opposed to the idea, it was too strange for me, but @mariandavp insisted and accepted the offer of the festival on my behalf as well.

It was a big project to ship clay sculptures from Athens to some village in Naxos and even greater to clean up, set up and light the rooms of the factory in a suitable manner when the factory didn't even have electricity. For @mariandavp the additional challenge was to hang the paintings when she wasn't allowed to place a single nail into the wall.

BUT mother and daughter got creative and with the support of the locals we managed to set up an exhibition that got visits even from schools.

Here are the photos of the event.

I recognize many of your pieces from previous posts. But I also see some very interesting ones that I have never seen before. I hope that you will in the future be telling their stories too.

Marianda willing I will! Thank you very much @onceuponatime for being so observant and encouraging!

I have many times heard the expression: "God willing I will"
That is the first time I've heard the expression: "Marianda willing I will".

But I like it. It has a nice ring to it! lol

Well, she can be really willing or unwilling, she is really helpful but also stubborn girl!
