Night Vision 20/20, Sarah Sze’s first artwork in augmented reality. Less known to the public eye than its neighbor the Amazon, the Paraguayan Gran Chaco forest has the highest deforestation rate in the world. Every day more than 1.000 hectares of dry forest are cut down for meat production. The indigenous communities who call it their home now live within close proximity of the small towns that have sprung up there.

Men from these indigenous communities are generally employed as agricultural workers by large landowners. These communities are home to outstanding artists, discovered by the anthropologists Verena and Ursula Regehr, who supported and promoted them with local exhibitions. Their drawings and sculptures bear witness to the deep bond they developedwith their rapidly disappearing environment, including plants and animals. Even if their survival and culture are threatened, be it by the growing number of farms taking over the region, the increased cultivation of soy crops or, today, the Covid-19 pandemic, these artists keep on drawing.

Eva T.Bony -Tatiana May Kallergi presents ΕPITOPOU / ΕΠΙΤΟΠΟΥ 2014. The project A route (a journey)through ephemeral installations in situ and meetings between artists and residents. Second edition. Andros, Cyclades, from the 12th of July to 31st August 2014. ‘Epi topou’ comes from the Greek prefix ‘epi’, meaning on, on the soil, the point at which one thing is connected with another and ‘topos’, meaning the place.

Just as the first edition in 2013, this project aims to highlight the solidarity between artists and residents, to allow for opportunities to create a collective artistic experience between Greek and French artists which aspires to create a common European identity. In this time of Ecomomic recession this proposal is supported by the personal commitment of the artists, the curator and the residents of the island. It is an expression of the view that art remains a free sphere open to all, an area of action and dialogue.
