I want my Greece now"".

The Melas-Papadopoulos gallery opens with an exhibition by G. Sagri

The first official exhibition of the new Melas-Papadopoulou gallery is the presentation of the artist Georgia Sagri, who many remember from her performance some years ago outside the Polytechnic, which had also occupied the Greek news.

Sagri began by recycling and translating visual practices of female artists of the 70s and 80s, (like Mona Hatoum, Marina Abramovic and Orlan) and in the years that followed he continued experimenting on the platform of performance but also trying other media. Lately it seems that she has found her own personal identity that has matured her work and made it interesting. THE “migration” her time in America has done her good and now a path is emerging that is probably worth watching carefully.
For her first exhibition at the Andreas Melas gallery & Helena Papadopoulos, Georgia Sagri presents a flexible composition of Courtyards where plants grow, plastic and ceramic objects appear, actions are outlined and reproduced by the artist in the performance that will take place in the gallery, for three consecutive nights.

A double no or a double yes, a strategy for re-appropriation. The Yards, variable wooden boxes with aromatic plants, scattered sculptures and attached benches, refer to a closed place, in a scene where actor and spectator are subject to already formed narrative structures.
However, the Sagri, in an attempt to circumvent the tragic decline of social and political imaginaries, offers the fact of the love of the French philosopher Alain Badiou – love as a material and practical embodiment of miracle-making – as a potential site for the production of truth. The Yards exhibition includes an installation, show/loop, a PowerPoint presentation, a series of drawings/collages and a collection of texts by the artist. Georgia Sagri was born in Athens in 1979. He lives and works in New York.
