Description
The work Spider Mother is a visual, theatrical, and musical event, featuring twelve contemporary pieces of textile art selected and curated by distinguished art historian and curator Iris Kritikou.
These twelve wefts are crafted by the prominent textile artists Irini Gonou, Maria Grigoriou, Stathis Katsarelis, Eleni Krikki, Maria Kotsou, Anastasis Madamopoulos, Pandora Mouriki, Ioannis Papadopoulos, Ismini Samanidou, Hermione Syrogiannopoulou, Ioanna Terlidou, and Argyris Chatzimallis. Fixed on unevenly-sized frames, these pieces serve not only as representative samples of contemporary textile art, but also as a standalone, total work of art, which constitutes the performance’s setting.
The texts, selected and dramatized by Giorgos Giannarakos, who also directs the show, span the last three millennia and reference Greek textile art through epic poems, mythology, theatre, literature, legends, and poetry. The songs, including both adapted traditional tunes and modern creations, all tied together by the thematic “thread” of the performance, highlight the continuity of music and the importance of textile artistry across time.
