TALK2 + Workshop: “Livres d’ Artiste”/ Argyri Vassilakou

On Friday 29/09 at 18.30, at the ΕΚΤόΣ art space, artist and printmaker, Agyri Vassilakou, gave a presentation on artists’ books, (Livres d’ Artiste). According to the artist, artists’ books (Livres d’ Artiste) contain a hidden world which inspire energy, where the intangible meets the material. Questions were answered regarding the text, the image, the book as a material object and as a work of art. The presentation ended with a video and a question and answer session.

On Saturday 30/09 at 12.00 noon, the participants of the artists’ book session followed a workshop on bookbinding and the creation of artists’ books. The results were highly original, interesting and imaginative.
