Jannis Varelas: Sleep My Little Sheep Sleep

(May-September 2012) The Contemporary Arts Center invited Xenia Kalpaktsoglou, celebrated curator and co-founder of the Athens Biennial, to develop a show specifically for the CAC. She chose the Greek artist, Jannis Varelas, whose large-scale multimedia drawings of ambiguous characters, architectural structures and symbols challenge human nature, time, history, language and myth. This exhibition is the first in a series of projects at the CAC organized by guest curators from around the world.

Francis Upritchard: A Long Wait

(May-September 2012) Francis Upritchard walks the line between fine art and kitsch fantasy sculpture. She aims to create figurative sculpture that simultaneously takes a look back at the history of the art form as well as peering into its future. The small, humorous figures made out of techno-color painted clay take on nonsensical poses and often exist in specially tailored environments--such as under glass domes or on cupboards, tables and chairs--in order to emphasize both their diminutive scale and whimsical character.
