re-hub yourself
Installation, Political / Social, 40x30x10cm
My art in a blend of alchemy, philosophy, aesthetics, quantum physics, secret universal laws, alternative psychology, research and subversions in this time-space . It is a poetic critical view of our world, our life in all its variation. "Fantasy imitates, the critical sight/view is the one which creates". Oscar Wilde.
I am practicing all these by sometimes creating painting works with or without paint, http://www.maria-papacharalambous.net/painting.html Installations http://www.maria-papacharalambous.net/installations-sculpture/158-2010-qhere-a-thereq.html,

Because : Life = Art and Art = Life as an extension of the Greek philosopher Ploutarchos who is exploring the art of living
The objective is to propose a thinking process which will cause better living with progress and prosperity for the contemporary societies. The need for change is in simple words a social transformation and can be achieved by experiencing the "Art of Living". When you think that the world is using its last creative resources a new era which demands the existence a new genuine Man who fights to give essence to human life arises. This is the challenge to give space to an ontological "evolution" of human consciousness and self awareness.
If we do not get to know ourselves we cannot get to know our true needs in the wonderful journey called life. For that reason philosophy does not aim to anything but to self awareness.
Definitely our world needs a change, needs improvement and we need to get out of the culture of fear. What would this change be? My Change? Your Change? And if yes who would be the catalyst or the one who will activate or trigger the process? Chomsky declares that he does not want to improve the world but instead the people should do it by discriminating within the honest true moving power".
And they are really creating when they manage to combine the personal benefit of the "me" with the social benefit of the "we"; the freedom of "I" with the freedom of "WE". If you think of it a 180 degrees rotation of a letter can make a big social impact. My canvas is the society, the individual and their consciousness. Joseph Beuys said that every human is an artist… these are my painting tools which automatically become their own tools. I am the catalyst of their own discovery and the pivoting locus of mine discovery. I provoke them to be the creators of their lives…
Where is me or you or us in all that? what is "mine" finally? Depack Chopra says that we are all connected with an invisible thread. How can the "self" as an extension of MINE (sense of ownership) can turn into a “mine” as a double meaning:
1.[an excavation in the earth for extracting minerals]
2. a type of bomb provoking explosions]
How do we "excavate" our inner self searching for our inner treasures or fire or trigger the process for self awareness? My art is the play ground of re–imaging, challenging, opening perspectives, perceptions, acting...
The ingredients of my proposed work are the play, the curiosity, the discovery through an alloy of previous works, research and experience.
Title of proposed project: Re-Hub yourself. Could include interactivity/ action/installation/exhibition (wall mounded works, banners, pillows, translated video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmL5liQaOGY, etc.)
http://issuu.com/badpixel/docs/nicosia2017 we wrote the vision of the bid for Nicosia 2017 (as a candidate for the European Capital of Culture 2017 - passed the preselecting phase and now is at its final stage.) as an art form for social transformation and change.
