3D PRINTING EXHIBITION (31-01-2015 9:00 pm) The fascinating world of 3D printing is brought at the Onassis Cultural Center through the exhibition “3D Printing” which is hosted there from December 15th, 2014 to January 31th, 2015.
What man could once only imagine has become now reality and is on display in the Onassis Cultural Centre; today everything can be printed in three dimensions: anything from Christmas decorations to houses and from clothes to prosthetic limbs.
The exhibition explores the three dimensions of art, fashion, design, science and architecture through 80 printed objects, a range of ingenious devices, a host of astounding videos by 36 artists, designers and scientists from around the world, plus workshops and lectures.
All the things that couldn’t be made using conventional means can now be printed in three dimensions, changing the way we do things and forcing us to call our working theories into question and to discard mental models in which users, designers and manufacturers are clearly demarcated. This technology is changing our lives – and it’s doing so today!
The exhibition is curated by Double Decker.
Open Daily: 12:00 – 21:00.

DEATH WISHES - ORPHEUS (31-01-2015 9:00 pm) Beton7 Center for the Arts presents the lyrical performance "death wishes/Orpheus" directed by Michalis Argyrou, with the collaboration of distinguished music performers and dancers.
Based on the myth of Orpheus, the music of the show joins top classics composers such as Monteverdi, Gluck, Schubert, Wolf, Scriabin, De Falla, Berio, creating a narration with elements of contemporary surrealism.
It is a synthesis of music, dance, theatre and Visual Arts that expands the expressive boundaries of every art and creates a unique original work.
"Death wishes" is the story of a pianist who lives in his own dreamy reality, with strong positive and negative feelings of despair and redemption, to the music, the woman, the mother, love, death, the State itself... identifies his life with that of Orpheus.
As he plays the piano, the interweaving of life and death, is present in every expression of his conduct, the conflicting thoughts and emotions become pictures, music, song, speech, movement, in a universe where he is the only real being, while images from memories and persons constitute the backdrop of his existence.
A performance that explores the emotions that sometimes arrive in need of a symbiotical relationship while at the same time death exists as wish for him and for everyone else.
