Identity / Potentials
The "Black and White Garbo on a Red Wall" hosts a dynamic patchwork of portraits of unruly personalities, with impetuous creativity and subversive artistic expression throughout modern and postmodern history. Each persona occupies their own vital space to preach their personal manifesto. The deliberately imperfectly painted red wall expresses the unfinished and the intended union with the utopian. The Space is ideal for art exhibitions, performing arts events, parties, seminars as well as productions to be organised in the context of a welcoming, open space, which nurtures a mood for creativity, uncharted in terms of its evolution and its limits.
Design and Practicality
The aesthetics of the "Black and White Garbo on a Red Wall" represents the postmodern aesthetic, which is eclectic, complex and seemingly contradictory. It "revolts" against the unformed architectural forms of modernism by adopting artistic play, phantasmagoria and super spectacle. It presents unconventional ideas through portraits of personalities who marked the world of art and fashion, stimulating aesthetic excitement as well as contemplation. The purpose here is not the functionality in itself but the statement, expressed through the decoration. The curvilinear glossy pop art chairs coexist with the strict rustic wooden ones and the velvet armchairs with the comfortable fabric cushions. The color palette is bold, utilizing both warm and cool hues in order to awaken but at the same time to relax. The neoclassical style of the Space's architectural construction goes hand in hand aesthetically with the inclusive modern decorative trend offering a flexible and wide-ranging utilization of the Space by the Organisers.
