Three invisible paintings Performance by Vassilis Salpistis
Performance at 5pm, 5.30pm, 6pm and 6.30pm
Free access
As part of the programme associated with Isabelle Cornaro’s exhibition, INFANS.
Through the meticulous description of three paintings that exist only as narratives, Vassilis Salpistis creates a fleeting exhibition that will move through the Foundation’s spaces, from the auditorium to the entrance of Isabelle Cornaro’s exhibition.
The impermanence of orality, where the commentary is coincident with the work, enables the painter-narrator to probe a direct relationship with the spectator who is now a listener, and to redraw the fictive potential of the exhibition space. These three ‘spoken’ paintings suggest the impossibility of seeing everything when one is confronted by an image – the perpetual dissatisfaction that motivates our gaze, before disappearing at the end of the narrative.
