“Cosmetics-Styles-Attitudes”: Festival Miden presents a special screening program in Kalamata’s Municipal Gallery
Video art Festival Miden presents a special screening program in the Municipal Gallery of Kalamata, in the context of the celebrations for the World’s Museum Day, on Saturday, May 19, 2007. Entitled “Cosmetics-Styles-Attitudes”, the presented showcase is a selection of video art works from the archive of the previous Festival Miden 2006, curated by Gioula Papadopoulou and Margarita Stavraki.
The videos focus on a “feminine” side, presenting different aspects of “beauty”, “cosmetics” and the forming of “styles” and “attitudes”, under the influence of fashion, television, advertising and pop culture. Furthermore, they go deeper, and explore, underneath the “pink” or “pop” surface of their theme, the psychological and existential context, revealing the “alienation”, the vanity, the emptiness and the solitude of the human nature
