Fabric @ American School of Classical Studies

Fabric is archived by the American School of Classical Studies, so “Fabric” is now part of the collection of the archives of the Gennadius Library. The Gennadius Library is an internationally renowned center for Hellenic history and culture studies with a very rich collection of books, manuscripts, archives, and works of art.

Fabric @ Foundation of the Hellenic World

Fabric is included in the archives of the Foundation of the Hellenic World.
The Foundation’s mission is the preservation and dissemination of Hellenic history and tradition, the creation of an awareness of the universal dimension of Hellenism and the promotion of its contribution to cultural evolution.

Fabric @ Athens School of Fine Arts

Fabric is included in the archives of the Athens School of Fine Arts.
The Athens School of Fine Arts was established in 1836 and its history virtually coincides with the history of the modern Greece. Leading Greek artists, representing many tendencies of fine arts, left their mark as members of the School’s teaching staff, thereby building throughout its long history the prestigious name of the Athens School of Fine Arts. Therefore, in the consciousness of the Greek citizens, the history of Modern Greek Art is attributed to Athens School of Fine Arts.

Fabric @ documenta 14 & Kathimerini

“Fabric” features the life cycle of “Greek Spinning and Weaving Mills”, but at the same time it is the narration of the greater framework in which the bourgeois citizens of the Ottoman Empire acted. It focusses on the role of Athens after 1922 and on the industrialization with the many workers’ hands of the refugees from Asia-Minor, on social responsibility, and on labor ethos.
Fabric is screened at the “Old Library” space of the Athens School of Fine Arts during documenta 14.
