💙🧡💙 @kypseliprintstudio OPEN STUDIO, Dérive, 7th May 11am - 6pm KPS invites you to an Open Day at the studio to view the works of resident artists Ella-Rose Budd and Xavier Duffaut. The artists have been in residence since 1st April and have been producing some interesting work inspired by their wanderings of the city. Come and join us for a glass of wine and a chat :) Xavier Duffaut @xa_vier_du_faux Deliberately ambiguous, Xaviers practice is characterised by pastiches, detournements and performative activation of objects. The history of art (particularly the one of Avant -garde) and popular culture merge, as well as the boundaries seperating profane and sacred, tragic and grotesque. He defunctionalises, transforms or reproduces manufactured objects of his daily life. By aestheticising and poeticising them, he questions the violence of the values they carry. Ella-Rose Budd @ellabudd.art During this residency, Ella has been exploring the graffiti of Athens, documenting the build up of textures and details within the urban environment. The old phone boxes have encapsulated her interest. Mostly obsolete, they now act as a surface for advertising with endless layers of flyers and stickers. The architecture of the box itself creates an environment, inviting you in, something which Ella intends to explore by creating architectural environments with her prints, inviting the viewer to observe these layered details which would otherwise be missed. . . . #kypseli #athens #kypselihood #openday #screenprintstudio #screenprintingstudio #screenprint #screenprinting #printmaking #printspotters #artistinresidence #artistsinresidence #artistresidency #artistresidencies #workinprogress (at KPS - Kypseli Print Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc3AK-kqVAq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
