                                  Greek Artists at the Europalia




                                  ... Nikos Zouboulis - Titsa Grekou


                                  These two artists make an extensive contribution to the exploration

                                  of the field of performance using the body as well as sound,

                                  technology and spectacle. Their work constitutes


                                  a comprehensive performance whose actions are rendered

                                  into sculptures.


                                  They use a thin membrane-screen which surrounds the action

                                  to separate memory (history) from the direct activation of the present

                                  as represented by the spontaneity of the body.


                                  The membrane falls down in shreds and memory dominates

                                  the space. This is the main concept in a series of performances

                                  in which new plastic and narrative solutions emerge each time...
