BOOKS UNFOLDED a project based on a book | initiated by STUDIOvisits 
STUDIOvisits is a project initiated by Vassiliea Stylianidou  www.stylianidou.com

BOOKS UNFOLDED is a series of collaborative installations based on Vassiliea Stylianidou’s artist’s book “The Plotless Room_I Lie to History”. The book has been published in 2011 by Revolver Publishing, Berlin, in collaboration with futura, Athens. “The Plotless Room_I Lie to History” deals with the limitations of systems of order such as language, family, architecture and gender as well as the relationship between text and viewer/reader, text and space.BOOKS UNFOLDED VOL.1 intents to continue the circulation of concepts that surround the artist’s book. Vassiliea Stylianidou gave the book to 37 artists. She asked them to create an object/sculpture out of the book’s discursive, material and aesthetic concepts in order to find a relation between their work and the book. The 37 objects/sculptures will be presented on a construction especially conceived for BOOKS UNFOLDED VOL.1.

STUDIOvisits is a project of encounters taken in random intervals between artists, theorists and architects.STUDIOvisits starting point is the desire to find new formats that will communicate both the process and the outcome of artistic concepts. The departure area of STUDIOvisits is the artist’s work space. STUDIOvisits intents to elaborate through encounters a network of artists, theorists and architects that will deal with the spatio-temporal discourses and processes of the artistic work within our sociopolitical present. Thus, the work of art becomes a common topos for discursive and process-based exchange. These encounters might take the form of a one-to-one discussion, a three-day presentation/ exhibition, a workshop, a collaborative piece of art, a book, an open discussion... STUDIOvisits poses the question of whether it is possible for artists to re/generate through collaboration and exchange the (sociopolitical, aesthetic) value of their work. STUDIOvisits aims to function as an OPEN SOURCE PROJECT in analogue space and time. Therefore it is open to ideas and concepts for encounters. A blog will follow up all upcoming encounters.
