The Aphitheater House
this past weekend we stayed in the Amphitheater House at Hydra, designed by our good friend (and great architect) Aristide Antonas
the house is basically a 9m high space with an aphitheater for perfect projections.
the house redefines an island aesthetic with its unreal proportions, almost like a house turned insideout.

The Temenos Report
Last weekend we went to see the rare screenings of Gregory J. Marcopoulos at the Temenos in Arcadia. They happen every few years and command a sect-like cult following.
on the way there we passed pyramid mountains
and religious hideaways
made new friends
we arrived just as the sun was setting
We learned that architect Christos Papoulias has designed the screen and surroundings: In typical Papoulias way, the place looks metaphysicaly undesigned, as if everything fell into perfect place in the most natural way. As if Temenos was always there.
We could only stay for one night of intensive Marcopoulos minimalism
on the way back, sadness
burned mountains
but the rain was evaporating from the hot asphalt, up in the magical Mainalos mountain
Konstandinos, Stuart and Angelo
passed a rainbow church
a curious control building
just when the meter hit 44444 kilometers

Lion under the rainbow

yesterday was the last day of the "Lion under the rainbow" contemporary art from Tehran, curated by Alexandros Georgiou, in an empty apartment in downtown Athens. The show + the space was a completely particular experience, which doesn't really translate into photos, but here's some evidence anyway. (but check the website for better pics of the works plus names of artists which as usual I forgot to record.

Sottsass' Printed Plastic Prototypes
Here's some printed plastic laminate furniture prototypes (with great titles as always) by great Ettore Sottsass Jr (I finally caved in and got the awesome DOMUS compendium by TASCHEN, definitely cheaper but less fun than getting old issues at Gallaghers)
