Giannis Zouganelis – Michalis Hatzigiannis – Sakis Boulas: Photographed together and confessed!

When the older generation collaborates creatively with the younger, then yes, there is interest. The modest Yiannis Zouganelis, the stormy Sakis Boulas and the discreet Michalis Hatzigiannis stole some of their limited time and agreed to be photographed as heroes in a spy adventure film.
If the good, the bad and the ugly was a fairy tale, it would be with fairies, princes and dragons or westerns;
YIANNIS ZOUGANELIS: I lean towards mythology, if you allow me. I imagine three poses in each personality, if we are the good, the bad and the ugly. Like three Lernaean Hydras that constantly cut us off, the bad and the ugly and they come out again. My relationship with the title is the same as other people's. We are all good, and bad ones, and ugly. Good is what we project, that which is most easily perceived, we hide the bad, it is in our truth and no one believes the ugly about himself. We all think we have no ugliness. Έχουμε όμως πολλές τις οποίες κάποιοι ευγενώς δεν μας τις λένε. Όμως εμείς τις κρύβουμε.
ΣΑΚΗΣ ΜΠΟΥΛΑΣ: Για μένα θα ήταν μόνο με δράκους. Μου άρεσαν ανέκαθεν τα παραμύθια με τους δράκους.
ΜΙΧΑΛΗΣ ΧΑΤΖΗΓΙΑΝΝΗΣ: Ως αγόρι και ως μαχητής της ζωής το μυαλό μου θα πήγαινε κατευθείαν σε ένα γουέστερν, σε ένα πολεμικό έργο, σε ένα σενάριο δράσης. Αν και όλο αυτό δεν διαφέρει πολύ και από την πραγματική πλευρά της ζωής, από αυτό που ζούμε σήμερα. Οι ρόλοι αυτοί υπάρχουν στη ζωή μας, αλλά και στον καθένα από εμάς. Ο καλός, και ο κακός, και ο άσχημος είναι ρόλοι που όλοι υποδυόμαστε στην καθημερινότητά μας. Οφείλω να ομολογήσω όμως πως με τα παραμύθια δεν τα πηγαίνω πολύ καλά. Δεν είμαι εκ φύσεως τόσο ρομαντικός και τόσο αιθεροβάμων, αλλά αν επέλεγα κάτι, θα διάλεγα το γουέστερν.
Φέτος το σχήμα σας έχει ιδιαίτερα συστατικά. Δεν ήταν ρίσκο η συνεργασία αυτή; 
C. Ζ.: Αναπαράγουμε κάτι που το έχουμε επεξεργαστεί αρκετά χρόνια. Ο Μιχάλης Χατζηγιάννης είναι μιας άλλης γενιάς, μιας άλλης αντίληψης, ένας άλλος ήχος. Και είναι χρήσιμος διότι κάνει τη διαφορά. Δεν πιστεύω ότι η αρμονία προκύπτει από αντιλήψεις που ταυτίζονται, αλλά από διαφορετικές προσωπικότητες.
Ήταν μια πρόκληση αυτή η συνεργασία. Κι εμείς τη δεχθήκαμε.
S. Μ.: Για εμάς, τον Γιάννη κι εμένα δηλαδή, ήταν ένα ρίσκο, μια αλλαγή. Διότι έχουμε διαμορφώσει ένα ύφος όλα αυτά τα χρόνια συγκεκριμένο. Ο Μιχάλης, καλλιτέχνης με σημαντική καριέρα και αξιόλογες συνεργασίες με καλλιτέχνες όπως η Αλεξίου, ο Νταλάρας, η Αρβανιτάκη, έχει το δικό του ξεχωριστό ύφος, κι αυτό δημιουργεί ενδιαφέρον. Επειδή είμαστε δύο άνθρωποι με ανοιχτούς ορίζοντες, που μας αρέσει να δοκιμάζουμε, χωρίς σκέψη ανταποκριθήκαμε στην πρόταση για συνεργασία.
M. X.: Και για τους τρεις μας είναι αρκετά διαφορετικό. Όμως όλα τα ανατρεπτικά έχουν το ρίσκο τους. Δεν είναι κάτι που δεν μετρήσαμε ή δεν σκεφτήκαμε, αλλά πιστεύω ότι σε μια εποχή που φλερτάρει με την επικινδυνότητα και με την έννοια της πρόκλησης, είναι καλό να παίρνουμε ρίσκα και να μετράμε τις δυνάμεις μας. Το τολμήσαμε. Για ακόμη μια φορά αποδεικνύεται πως μέσα από τις αντιθέσεις υπάρχει αρμονία. Ο νόμος που θέλει τα ετερώνυμα να έλκονται ισχύει, καθώς πολλές φορές φαίνεται ότι μπορούν να προσφέρουν δημιουργικά και όμορφα πράγματα. Στην περίπτωσή μας αυτό λειτούργησε και αισθανόμαστε πάρα πολύ καλά.
Πώς θα θέλατε να σας βρει η πρώτη μέρα του χρόνου;
C. Ζ.: Πάντως όχι όπως είμαι τώρα. Θέλω να είμαι καθαρότερος, απαλλαγμένος από τύψεις για συναισθηματικές ζημιές σε άλλους. Να είμαι περισσότερο εγκρατής και ισορροπημένος. Όλα αυτά δεν τα έχω. Έχω κουραστεί να είμαι ο άνθρωπος που υποχωρεί συνεχώς στις συνεργασίες.
S. Μ.: Με λιγότερο άγχος. Με περισσότερη αισιοδοξία. Με πολλά χαμόγελα.
M. X.: Ακόμη πιο συνειδητοποιημένο, πιο ξεκαθαρισμένο, πιο ώριμο, πιο δυνατό και λιγότερο ανασφαλή.
Κύριε Χατζηγιάννη, υπάρχει μια ιδιαιτέρως ωραία ανάμνηση Χριστουγέννων που έχει μείνει χαραγμένη στο μυαλό σας;
M. X.: Πριν από δύο χρόνια κάναμε με τη Ζέτα ένα ταξίδι στο Λονδίνο. Ήταν ωραία. Για μένα το Λονδίνο είναι μια μεγαλούπολη απόλυτα συνυφασμένη με τα Χριστούγεννα. Ήταν ένα ταξίδι ιδιαίτερο και γι’ αυτό το θυμάμαι έντονα.

The temptation of freedom

Exhibition in Berlin shows the post-war adventures of the highest social good

She is blind, but not spiritually unscented, or asleep. Justice never sleeps. At least not in the minds of the artists, where he works constant overtime. A permanent court-martial, which turns against everything – sometimes of himself.
That is why in the imaginary "Court of Right Reason", as the first part of the exhibition "Temptation of Freedom" at the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin is called, the roles are not clear. Not only the opponents of freedom are sitting in the accused's dock, but also many of its supporters. Judges are not professionals, but amateurs. And their verdict is not recorded in documents, but in pictures – tables, sculptures, facilities, photos, video.
Upside down world: Artists judge not only the crimes committed in the name of Enlightenment, but in necessity also the Right Word itself, as a potential source of atrocities. Not only the sleep of Logic, they say, but her wake can also give birth to monsters – more frightening, from everything else.
Accused Robespierre and Marat: Guilty! says judge Yiannis Kounelis. His work, a metal plate, on which the names of the two heroes of the French revolution are written in chalk, as well as the phrase: «Free Death» (freedom or death), reminds, that anyone who did not then agree with the Jacobin regime, he was in danger of ending up in the guillotine. Jacobin freedom, based on "terreur", the terror, it produced unfreedom and death. A lighted white candle in front of the plaque gives a religious overtone to the verdict.
The judge's judgment is also speculatively extreme – whether it is a "sweet" greeting, as in the sculpture "Je vous salue Marat" (Greetings Mara) by Ian Hamilton Finley – where the phrase is the work itself, formed from neon tubes. Either a "sharp" sentence like a guillotine stroke, such as "The Age of Enlightenment" by Ginka Shonibare, which shows the Orthologus as beheaded, i.e. mindless body.
The exhibition presents projects 113 artists from total 28 Countries, which were created after the 1945. From the Greek side, except for the installation of Kounellis, a surrealist painting by Nikos Eggonopoulos is also on display.
 Two prostitutes, surrounded by fascists, Stalinist and democratic symbols, they escape from a mess only to end up in a much worse one – as always happens in a "Civil War", as the work is called.
The starting point of works is freedom, as she secured the 1949 in the United Nations Charter of Human Rights.
The exhibition follows the aesthetic adventures of freedom against the background of the two blocs of the cold war, the east, under the guidance of the Soviet Union, and the west, under US hegemony.
A century and a half full of dizzying successes, but also tragic mistakes, captured in classical works, such as René Magritte's "Memory" from 1948, or in completely modern ones, such as "Untitled" by Maria Bartusova from 2012: a set of small amorphous sacks tied together with thin strings, which shows how fragile the balance between the components of the social fabric is today.
The newest of all projects: "Capital-ism" by Dan Perjovsky, the highest stage of social chaos, which was created just on the eve of the inauguration – at 17 October.
One of the good things about the exhibition is its systematic division into 12 thematic sections with more or less poetic titles: "Journey to the Garden of Wonders", "Fear and Darkness", "The other place" so to speak. The visitor can thus more easily understand the problematic and the affinity of the works per each section.
Of course, the most interesting ones are those that throw it into the "fine" with the established political and aesthetic perceptions.
Example, the "Portable engraving for three persons" by Tamas Oby, a 90x155x53 cm parallelepiped made of cardboard with three open surfaces, which was created 1969 in response to the Warsaw Pact tank raid the 1968 in Prague. A completely inappropriate one, if not a ridiculous means of self-protection, which, precisely for this reason, makes a mockery of any concept of war.
The 10x10 are also enjoyable, namely 100 unwound alarm clocks with the inscription "Minutes of the Hour", which Armand has lined up on a tableau (Fernandez). For the French artist there is only subjective time: political, personal, erotic, coke. Objective time, on the contrary, it doesn't exist, the metronomes, says, they record only the destruction of human life. That is why he tries to destroy destroyers himself – winding the clocks.
Question from the undersigned: Space, there is;
But even Damien Hirst's painting "Professions without a future" does not go back to ingenuity. Only here, instead of alarm clocks, extinguished cigarette butts are exposed. "They express insecurity in the labor market," says the artist. "This is the price of the so-called free market in the age of globalization".
The project, in front of which one remains dazzled, is "Flowers" by Aurora Reinhardt: A bouquet of gloves, on the edge of which they grow, like flowers, "living" polished nails. "It's the projection of men's fantasies in our accessories" says their producer. Feminists never sleep either: The latest here, the visitor realizes that the feminist "Court of Right Reason" does not behave with a glove. And that the fingers he will order to be cut off, it will not be feminine.
—
The exhibition "Temptation Freedom" at the Historisches Museum Berlin, which takes place under the auspices of the Council of Europe, lasts until 26 January 2013.

BMW: 20 new models with front-wheel drive

Turning to forward motion seems to be what BMW is doing. Right now, the Bavarian brand's range consists of rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models, and only the Mini subsidiary follows the front-wheel drive layout. However, this is set to change in the coming years, since as stated by Ian Robertson in Auto Express, the BMW Group is about to evolve 20 new models with forward motion. Naturally, the ones we'll see first are the new Mini and the production version of the Concept Active Tourer (photo), while the Mini 5-door will follow on the same platform, Clubman, Coupe, Cabrio, but also the next BMW Series 1 which will be launched about 2017. BMW is even studying the possibility of the 2nd generation X1 being based on the same platform, while the development of a small sports cabrio model called Z2 is also possible. After all, the base is ready: the Mini Roadster.

Saint John of the Slaughterhouses directed by Nikos Mastorakis at the Acropolis

Nikos Mastorakis chose to present a play that has rarely been performed in Greece in his first collaboration with the Acropolis Theater Organization.

It is "Saint Joan of Slaughter" by Bertolt Brecht.

The play was written by the great German author the 1929, but he himself did not get to see it performed on stage, as its first presentation took place in 1959…

Like all of Brecht's works, so it also highlights the human condition.
"Saint Joan of Slaughterhouses" could be seen as a modernized one, scathingly satirical version of the story of Joan of Arc, which takes place with many nested songs in his Chicago 1929 and the financial crash.

Director Nikos Mastorakis notes features:

Having experienced two world wars, of the Weimar Republic and the Great Change of East Germany to a Communist State, bertolt brecht begins to write the 1929, too soon, Agia Joanna of the Slaughterhouses, which he himself will never manage to raise. So, Saint Joan, which is more a paraphrase than a parody of Schiller's Maid of Orleans, played after his death the 1959, the time when the economic miracle of post-war Germany is being cooked up, and is perhaps the postscript of his spiritual path.

Here Brecht, in the form of the epic theater, explains to modern man the mechanism of the capitalist economy and the absolute dependence of all of us on it, as well as our inability to escape the impasse of a system destructive to both man and nature.

They star: Emilios Chiilakis in the role of Pierpont Mauler and Vicky Voliotis in the role of Joanna Dark

They also play (in alphabetical order) the: Kika Georgiou, Dimitris Degaitis, Minos Theocharis, Danai Katsameni, Lambros Ktenavos, Mother Luca, Constantine Maravelias, Angel Bouras, Michalis Oikonomou, Eleni Ouzounidou.
