SUMMARY:Christos Koutsouras: Land Art (Telling Trees)
DESCRIPTION:Deeply rooted in place\, Land Art (Telling Trees) is inspired by a large-scale fire that tore apart the island of Samos\, Greece — the birthplace of the artist. Koutsouras first approached this theme in 1994 after a fire destroyed much of the vegetation on the island. When a massive fire again hit Samos two years ago\, he returned to this theme and finished the work he started 20 years ago. Koutsouras envisions the white trees he painted juxtaposed with the black landscape as a visual reference to the act of fire. He shares that his objective was\, from the beginning\, to talk into the people’s consciousness and show the force of the action. Koutsouras wanted to do more than just create an image. This was a work in progress over several years\, starting with a spontaneous reaction back on time. \nLand Art (Telling Trees) includes large photographs manipulated by Koutsouras in different ways. Some pieces are painted on\, others drawn upon with pencil\, and some left intact. The work captures the destruction and rebirth of the forests and fields of Samos from fires that swept through the landscape. He created other works by wrapping paper around the burned trees of Samos and rubbing charcoal imprints. The exhibition also ties Samos and Indianapolis (two places Koutsouras has lived at different times throughout his life) together with a sculpture made from two pine trees from the west side of Indianapolis blown over by straight winds. The 40-year-old trees were saved from rot or becoming mulched by Indy Urban Hardwood. \nThe upstairs video room features a documentary about Koutsouras and other Greek artists by filmmaker Dia Kontaxis\, a professor at the University of Miami. Her work has screened at museums\, galleries and festivals including Venice (Art Biennale)\, New York (Tribeca Film Festival)\, Montreal (Art Fifa)\, Paris\, Athens\, Ankara\, Lleida\, Taipei and Miami (Art Basel). In another video piece located in the monitors outside of the video room and downstairs\, Koutsouras paints the charred trees white to contrast with the blackness of the landscape. \nKoutsouras\, who studied painting in Germany\, often pulls from the instruction of an inspirational teacher and tries to make each work into its own narrative. Each piece must have a beginning\, middle and end. The result in this show: a story of the destructive and restorative forces of nature. \nThe exhibition was made possible by The Efroymson Family Fund\, Managed Health Services – MHS\, Sun King Brewing Company and Indy Urban Hardwood.

SUMMARY:Landscape in the Mist
DESCRIPTION:“Landscape in the Mist\,” the final chapter in Angelopoulos’ ‘Trilogy of Silence’\, was both a political film and a personal one. This mesmerizing\, heartbreaking and hauntingly beautiful allegorical tale was a poignant portrait of the perennial yet futile search for identity and a compassionate father figure by the people of Greece\, a country tormented along the better part of 20th century by political turbulence and disillusionment. The story chronicles the journey of two kids – Voula (Tania Palaiologou)\, a prepubescent girl\, and her little brother Alexandros (Michalis Zeke) – in search of their father who\, they believe\, is residing in Germany. For Theo the destination was far less important vis-à-vis the incredible leap of faith that these two kids take with hope as their sole driving force. Along the road they face moments of gut-wrenching tragedy\, as when Voula is callously violated by a truck driver\, as well as simple joy\, as in their motorbike ride with a young\, lonely actor named Orestes (Stratos Tzortzoglou)\, and profound catharsis\, as when Voula\, who had been maintaining an impassive demeanour till then\, finally breaks down in the arms of the young guy. The film was\, therefore\, also a fascinating coming-of-age tale – a personal one for the kids\, and a political one for the rootless\, disenchanted generation they symbolized. Washed-out vistas of Greek countryside\, marvelous long takes\, and the evocative score\, laced the layered\, lyrical storyline with pathos and melancholia\, as did the devastatingly brilliant turn by the young Tania. Interestingly\, the theatre troupe of The Travelling Players made a brief return in it\, perhaps signifying the inherently cyclical nature of both life and history. \nRated R\n2 hours 17 minutes\nRelease date: September 14\, 1990 (New York City)\nDirector: Theo Angelopoulos\nMusic composed by: Eleni Karaindrou\nCinematography: Giorgos Arvanitis \nFree\, discussion will follow.
