The Apartment is pleased to participate in ReMap3 with a focused presentation of works by Greek artist Kostas Tsolis, including painting, collage and artist books. Kostas Tsolis takes inspiration from found, historical and often ideologically violent images, which he renders into representational paintings. He then deconstructs them by adding layers of straight lines that hinder our view of the subject matter, questioning thus the authoritative nature of representation and proposing a more engaged abstraction. The exhibition at ReMap is curated by Dimitris Dokatzis, one of the artists that shaped Greek conceptual art in the late 80s through the mid-90s, and communicates shared concerns on history, politics and art in relation to representation.
Kostas Tsolis has recently had a solo exhibition at The Apartment, Athens accompanied by catalogue. Concurrent with his exhibition at ReMap3, his work is included in the exhibition “Reference-Representation” at the Jewish Museum in Thessaloniki.
