MLNY
PARTY Contemporary proudly presents MLNY opening on Friday, October 19, 2018 at 18:00.
The title of the show is an acronym for Maria Loizidou Natalie Yiaxi, suggesting the coming together of two artists who in the recent past have shared many responsibilities, worries and hours of talktime, as a result of their participation in the commons of the local art community. Today, they are invited to occupy a different space and to communicate within a different context.
MLNY captures their response to the architectural idiosyncrasies of the space and indicates the unravelling of their practices, for the discovery of shared touch points and moments of like-mindedness.
Maria Loizidou (www.marialoizidou.com) pushes handcraft and fragility to their limits. She perceives the body as an entity that writes and imagines and, by extension, as a source of reflection and thought generation. In MLNY, she presents new artworks that define new possibilities of coexistence in a space, through the control of positioning and through the movements of the body, favouring architectural
points in space that anyone can approach and live in.
Natalie Yiaxi (www.natalieyiaxi.com) actively wonders how one can uncover the everyday without transcending it, by constantly inventing ways to capture it “sideways”. Her works span from video to spoken word poetry and writing, objects, and artist’s books. Language is their binding agent. In MLNY she is presenting new work –reliefs and sculptures—in which language and conversation are encoded, yet never present.
