A phantom limb: the sensation that an amputated or missing limb is still attached to the body and is moving appropriately with other body parts.
The Phantom Limb consists of a selection of works by Greek and Chilean artists. The exhibition is brought together at a time when in Greece the whole nation is protesting against the capitalistic reorganization of the country and in an almost exclusively privatized Chile people are out on the streets demanding free education and a real welfare state. We put forward the interaction of ten artists and one documentarian using these circumstances as a starting point of convergence.
In the epicenter of a polyphony of themes and mediums, are the artists and the solutions they turn to, caught between the dichotomy of their function as social beings and their own authorial practice.

After an open call, 30 collectors of everyday indescribable snapshots join their caustically, sensitively, to the point, sharply, poetically shot documents, to create an archive of the unexpected, surrealistic, absurd side of the present.
The Collection: A fragmental archive, a chaotic mosaic of the invisible exciting everyday life. *it consists of more than 70 pictures and videos and will keep being updated after this first presentation.

OpenShowstudio presents a new series of visual presentations, named 'snapshots'.This project aims to contribute in the public record and presentation of aspects and moments of contemporary artists' work, aking under consideration the diversity, dynamics and speed that characterize the way it is developing, according to the flow of current restless times.
Since the typical, more "complete" solo presentations are sparse in time, they often fail to capture this dynamics. We aim to succeed in presenting phases of artists' work in a more "real" time.

The positive acceptance of the Vitrina project by the public encourages us to continue. From now on, the presentations on the Vitrina will be monthly and independent from each other and will consist of site specific work.
The Vitrina is a public oriented project that runs on the glass entrance of OpenShowstudio since June 2010, presenting contemporary artworks.

* Το Μέλος Φάντασμα: Το μέλος φάντασμα είναι η αίσθηση ότι ένα ακρωτηριασμένο μέλος εξακολουθεί να είναι μέρος του σώματος και οτι συνεχίζει τις συνηθισμένες του λειτουργίες.
*El Miembro Fantasma: El miembro fantasma es la sensación de que un miembro amputado está todavía en el cuerpo y se está moviendo adecuadamente con las otras partes del cuerpo
An exhibition organized by Maria Karantzi and Jorge Cabieses-Valdés

In the present financial circumstances and as the local cultural production tends to be treated as a luxury as far as institutional factors are concerned, Openshowstudio organises an Open Call for art students, motivating them to answer this question.

This in situ installation on the Vitrina of Openshowstudio derives out of the intention to marginalize space through both improvisation and controlled gesture as far as administration and placement of various materials in the specific place are concerned.
From 16th January and for 2 months long.
Visible from the street 24 hours per day.

…όταν υποκλινόμαστε με ένα κλικ της μηχανής μας μπροστά στην απερίγραπτη και ανεπανάληπτη καθημερινότητα, όταν συλλαμβάνουμε με το ανήσυχo μάτι μας όλα εκείνα τα σουρεαλιστικά στιγμιότυπα που δίνουν το στίγμα της αθέατης, αχαρτογράφητης πλευράς του παρόντος, τότε αξίζει να ανασύρουμε τα ντοκουμέντα μας από την αφάνεια του σκληρού μας δίσκου και να τα επικοινωνήσουμε.
