The title of the exhibition is a Greek word that translates in English as ‘stranger’, but its sense extends far beyond this simple definition. Xenos expresses the otherness, being a foreigner, the deviation from normalcy- however one might define normalcy, diverging from the usual. Within this exhibition, the diverse manifestations that foreignness can assume in our lives are unraveled. Here, the narratives of seven Berlin-based Greek artists and a London-based Greek artist, as immigrants themselves, navigate the complexities of this phenomenon. <img width="3872" height="2592" width_o="3872" height_o="2592" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c17276516152f14c6ab1640371912b68dd680af0e6d89df435d59d6c08ccba48/DSC_0212.JPG" data-mid="220327262" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c17276516152f14c6ab1640371912b68dd680af0e6d89df435d59d6c08ccba48/DSC_0212.JPG" /> <img width="4000" height="4000" width_o="4000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/39a422ef78bde3056516f647d84e7b442a3bc218fb79b562402b0b9d7c3fda74/00038.png" data-mid="220327269" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/39a422ef78bde3056516f647d84e7b442a3bc218fb79b562402b0b9d7c3fda74/00038.png" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0b809645b48d722392a36438f47ac78a281306056c5e3a1b3ebe13e904518cab/7c418f57-50b8-43d1-b9d3-cf6b840d2ec3.jpg" data-mid="220327303" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0b809645b48d722392a36438f47ac78a281306056c5e3a1b3ebe13e904518cab/7c418f57-50b8-43d1-b9d3-cf6b840d2ec3.jpg" /> <img width="3872" height="2592" width_o="3872" height_o="2592" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/36a110f43a8c65ca26d884b7a607c94e381616555310cd08c73bead3952769b4/DSC_0282.JPG" data-mid="220327259" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/36a110f43a8c65ca26d884b7a607c94e381616555310cd08c73bead3952769b4/DSC_0282.JPG" /> <img width="3872" height="2592" width_o="3872" height_o="2592" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/99ed64995890bef7a27b0cef9c98dfa8cd8d69eeabbce5f9c007ad94f3e74e7d/DSC_0272.JPG" data-mid="220327257" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/99ed64995890bef7a27b0cef9c98dfa8cd8d69eeabbce5f9c007ad94f3e74e7d/DSC_0272.JPG" /> <img width="3872" height="2592" width_o="3872" height_o="2592" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/23f896c99d0801110cd6cebc9b399609e8331ca1b8f15589580a825af33e7574/DSC_0286.JPG" data-mid="220327261" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/23f896c99d0801110cd6cebc9b399609e8331ca1b8f15589580a825af33e7574/DSC_0286.JPG" /> <img width="2376" height="3470" width_o="2376" height_o="3470" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f21c4747c1c9973b927a38adba52ef133b6bf13c1c49608fad903982ebb3094e/DSC_0271.png" data-mid="220327317" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f21c4747c1c9973b927a38adba52ef133b6bf13c1c49608fad903982ebb3094e/DSC_0271.png" /> <img width="3872" height="2113" width_o="3872" height_o="2113" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/116a47f3355a816e8e306b6dfa818bea867b39b48cd97d0783b9083c3847f5dd/DSC_0277.png" data-mid="220327383" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/116a47f3355a816e8e306b6dfa818bea867b39b48cd97d0783b9083c3847f5dd/DSC_0277.png" /> <img width="2268" height="4032" width_o="2268" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6bffbfa5182efd9210c92c494dc9de25d5f2500bc538cc061ccd8435fbd6b423/03445d68-ffbb-4ce8-a988-b444120d0b17.jpg" data-mid="220327243" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6bffbfa5182efd9210c92c494dc9de25d5f2500bc538cc061ccd8435fbd6b423/03445d68-ffbb-4ce8-a988-b444120d0b17.jpg" /> The artworks are part of thought-provoking expressions of foreignness—be it the challenges of immigration, the complexities of the human body, the delicate dance of identity, or the subtle yet impactful moments of social alienation. These artists don't merely delve into the origins of the word "foreign"; they unravel it, disrupting the ordinary and shedding light on the beauty of otherness. Xenos isn't just an exhibition; it's an introspective journey that prompts you to reflect on your own experiences. Join us as we collectively explore the threads that connect us to the broader canvas of society. Embrace the gravity of these themes with us, as we celebrate the richness and diversity found within the universal tapestry of foreignness. Your presence adds another layer to this vibrant exploration of what it means to be an individual within the complex web of modern life.

Their work primarily revolves around spatial sound installations, sculptures, and digital and analog arts. By utilizing new technologies, Xoma questions the relationships between humans and non-humans, creating links and dialogues between everyday elements and dystopian atmospheres. Their work aims to establish connections that challenge traditional ways of thinking and create new perspectives of the world. <img width="3794" height="4349" width_o="3794" height_o="4349" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/75122ec2622d37ef05031ca1dddec5f4d742b4560377145dd35df099a1c5fd1c/Anna_portrait.jpg" data-mid="170458166" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/75122ec2622d37ef05031ca1dddec5f4d742b4560377145dd35df099a1c5fd1c/Anna_portrait.jpg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/52460bdb9d38f9e7b244d318f23a563d1adf42685d3a8882e539e09557fc76ce/IMG-2107.jpg" data-mid="170458071" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/52460bdb9d38f9e7b244d318f23a563d1adf42685d3a8882e539e09557fc76ce/IMG-2107.jpg" /> https://xoma.cargo.site/Home-Image-Scroll Sun, 26 Feb 2023 11:55:04 +0000 Xώma https://xoma.cargo.site/Home-Image-Scroll XENOS BEING, WRITTEN IN STONE https://xoma.cargo.site/Being-written-in-stone Fri, 03 Mar 2023 22:52:40 +0000 Xώma https://xoma.cargo.site/Being-written-in-stone <img width="335" height="482" width_o="335" height_o="482" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/689b92b4b4613ed7b7fbd115b4b64861786b07b7e19c9f55b39f1aca866016a1/being_written-1.png" data-mid="171592730" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/335/i/689b92b4b4613ed7b7fbd115b4b64861786b07b7e19c9f55b39f1aca866016a1/being_written-1.png" /> <img width="300" height="482" width_o="300" height_o="482" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/76fd07ebffa822248ffd2937f8bdb6acd0beb25d5036847e151a5257f85f2f14/being_written-2.png" data-mid="171592731" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/300/i/76fd07ebffa822248ffd2937f8bdb6acd0beb25d5036847e151a5257f85f2f14/being_written-2.png" /> Being, written in stone is an installation that consists of 8 ceramic sound sculptures and a second part of an audiovisual projection and a marble brain sculpture. The project is exploring the relations between human-stones-machine through memory. The project aims to question our position in the world as entities, human and non-human, and to suggest and imagine ways to create intertwined worlds. What memory can be, from the perspective of a stone? How can we reflect on each other's memories, human and nonhuman?&nbsp; We exist within this world with others, humans and nonhumans. Nevertheless, our existence is predominant in relation to objects, we act on them constantly rather than them acting on us. They behave based on our actions. This is putting us in the center of things and everything exists through our scope. Taking this view on this, creates boundaries between us, hierarchies in existence that create distinctions. Thus, the question is how can we instead create relations with them, in a way that we equally existing with, dying with, thinking with? Shifting the focus of attention from humans and coexisting in a symbiotic relation. The project uses new means of technology, more specifically AI, for the audio processing. Voices are transformed to field recordings and reverse, generating a new intertwined language. AI gives us the opportunity to imagine beyond human scope, and to perceive features, patterns, and correlations through vast spaces of data beyond human reach. Thus, for our project, it is a fundamental tool for exploring materiality, texture, and memory in humans, nonhumans, and machines. 2023&nbsp;Generations @ Zwitschermaschine &amp; SoundsAbout / part of CTM Vorspiel <img width="2600" height="1733" width_o="2600" height_o="1733" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4c0bf2b4c0860e855814dd8cd6e44267422aeea8e15f8022df38b7bf644eecad/Stone_00m.png" data-mid="171613693" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4c0bf2b4c0860e855814dd8cd6e44267422aeea8e15f8022df38b7bf644eecad/Stone_00m.png" /> https://xoma.cargo.site/Untitled-Page Sun, 05 Mar 2023 23:42:28 +0000 Xώma https://xoma.cargo.site/Untitled-Page
