There are three stages to the process: "The object's life cycle", where the child collects the objects and categorizes them, in the spirit of Arman who said that "the principle of accumulation changes our perspective on things".
In the second stage, "Object is being decrypted", the child discovers the ways in which the artist worked with the object. The third stage is about "inventing the object", where little aspiring artists assemble small colored boxes to build towers, mazes and walls, a large scale architecture.

Most of the speakers also live and work in the area, which they have studied thoroughly and have formulated proposals for its substantial protection.

In reference to the building of Themistocleus 62, which is actually a small building complex that develops around an inner courtyard, the way for its demolition seemed to open after the opinion of the Central Council of Newer Monuments of the Ministry of Culture, which did not consider it maintainable.

And that, despite the contrary suggestion of the Ephorate of New Monuments of Attica, which had requested its declaration for the aforementioned reasons but also because it is located in a building environment with many neoclassical buildings, eclecticism as well as buildings with the special architecture of the interwar period, a whole that is, which records the evolution of the residence in Athens.

Every mobilization therefore advocates the fight to save the building of this historic neighborhood.

3rd World Magic Festival at the Badminton Theatre

The Badminton Theater presents the spectacular 3rd World Magic Festival, whose theme this year is comedy,
Is the motto of the 16th Spare Parts Bazaar 8 until 12 February 2012.
So impressive, so incredible now and of such "mathematical" precision that they reach the limits of science. But it is everything, what better does the art of modern magic have to offer and indeed from its most iconic representatives. The fact that the top six wizards and magicians in the world right now, they share the same stage for a few days - something that rarely happens- makes the 3rd International Festival of Magic a completely unique experience.
Just as unique is the way each of the "provocateurs of the real" who will occupy the stage of the Badminton Theater, will attempt to reach their limits, or even beyond them, our senses and take us to the most fascinating regions of consciousness, where you will question - and revise- what is ultimately real and what is imaginary. Having his own personal style and "specialty", each member of this special Dream Team will hold your breath as they do in the world's greatest theaters and music halls. But the magic doesn't stop there...
Humor and many surprises for the audience create a unique performance that captivates people of all ages. Theatrical effects and elements of stand up comedy and pantomime make the 3rd International Festival of Magic what many call A Lifetime Experience. An experience that will remain etched in your memory. And in your imagination.
One by one...
Jeff Hobson
The host of the 3rd International Festival of Magic (but also of the 1st!) he is also one of the most sought-after magician-comedians of our time. The original and clever combination of comedy and magic that makes it so special, has made his agenda the most expensive place to book even the most aspiring theater or music hall some of his dates. His library faces a similar problem of space as he has won countless awards for his skills most recently Best Comedy Magic from the World Association of Magic Awards and Best Magic Review from the World Magic Awards for his role as star and producer of the legendary Carnival of Wonders presented at the Reno Hilton Hotel and Casino in Reno, in Nevada. His television appearances include HBO, Showtime’s Comedy Club Network, Fox Family’s Masters of Illusion, NBC's World's Greatest Magic as well as the Magic Comedy Strip, a show he ran for 16 weeks on English television.
Michael Giles
Let your senses marvel at the Magic of one of America's most famous magicians, by Michael Giles, as it will take your imagination to the most forbidden depths. Immerse yourself in a celebration of fantasy and myth, as much as Michael Giles, the fastest and most charismatic magician of our time, presents a combination of intricate magic and spectacular illusions, something you've never seen before. Michael Giles reinvents himself by drawing on his amazing career, from his travels and from his mysticism, which lead him to his newest and most exciting endeavor.
Arcadia
Spanish born Arkadio is an accomplished artist in the field of magic and illusionism, with more than fifteen years of experience, and participation in international competitions and many festivals. His keen skill in the art of juggling has earned him countless nationals, but also international awards. If you want to watch a high impact spectacle with visual effects, intoxicating beauty, pigeons, parrots, papers, apparitions… set yourself free to follow the rhythm dictated by Arkadio's magic.
Michael Holly
Michael Holly has long been a crowd favorite, both in Las Vegas, as in the rest of the world. One reason is…he's funny! What more could anyone ask for, when he invites him to his house…and laughs. Action and reaction, yin and yang, automatically and de facto. We need to say more;  Okay, we will say! With the motto of Oscar Wilde "Life is too important to be taken seriously", Michael makes sure to present his amazing tricks with lots of humor and audience participation. Friendly, resourceful, the perfect partner, uses chains, bowling balls, musical instruments and presents a magical, but also a hilarious program.
David Kaplan
Phantasmagoria, music, juggling and deadpan comedy collide in Kaplan's variety show. Inspired by Keaton's jokes, Sellers, Victor Borge, the Smothers Brothers and the illustrious Wile E. Coyote, including, "The Great" David Kaplan welcomes viewers, big and small, to a fan, strange world that they will never forget.
Perhaps Kaplan's most impressive feat is walking out of the show physically intact. As his world seems to be falling apart, he manages to tame a rogue bowling ball, to juggle furniture, to juggle and play tunes with a balloon, a plastic pump and his grandfather's ukulele, much to the delight of the enthralled audience.
Glenn Singer
The man is a laughing stock. Never before, in human history, saying something like that, could not be so honorable - and true -, as in the case of Glenn Singer, of the man who (απ)showed, that magic, it can also be hilarious. Also known as el Gleno Grande, Glenn is all about visual comedy and illusionism, that Dali for surrealism. We need to say something else; A, Yes. That, here and above 20 years, his shows travel all over the world (on all five continents), in venues such as Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas or Universal Studios in Hollywood, that they also have elements of Circolan tradition, addressed, equally, at all ages and that is distinguished, for the way he makes the audience participate and have a magical time. That's not the point;
