Berliner Zimmer
April 13th, 2011Art direction and design for the homonymous exhibition organized by Goethe Institut Thessaloniki in association with the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art. Berliner Zimmer is a characteristic of the upper-class home in late 19th – early 20th century Berlin. It is an elongated room which connects the front part of the house (that of the masters), to the side or back wing of the house (that of the servants). It is used as a space to entertain guests, as a living room or central room, but also as a passage to the other rooms of the house. Gradually, its use is transformed, “democratized” in a way, though preserving its quality as a meeting point for the house tenants.
ZM Gallery Jubilee Edition
December 14th, 2010Art direction and design for the jubilee edition of ZM gallery celebrating its 55 years on the occasion of the homonymous exhibition in Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art. Founded by Pavlos Zannas and Alexandros Mavrokordatos in 1955, ZM was not only a unique space for celebrating and disseminating popular art but also constituted a fertile ground for the genesis of the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art. The book was edited in collaboration with MMCA’s curator Thouli Misirloglou based on an initiative of Katerina Kamara and Maro Lagia, the successors of ZM’s founders’ vision. Typography and cover drawings are based on an artwork by Niki De Saint Phalle from 1989.
