ARC – Art Revisited Collective is a group that was founded in May 2018 by visual artists and the Athenian curator Paris Kapralos<\/a><\/strong>. It quickly incorporated members from various parts of Greece and abroad. The collective is independent and self-funded. It presents a variety of activities, organizes its own exhibitions, participates in international events, and occasionally collaborates with other groups, collectives, curators, spaces, as well as artists from the entire spectrum of the arts and from all around the world.<\/p>

Within the collective, many forms and styles of art coexist. Most members have had a significant individual trajectory in the art scene, including the co-founding curator, before they came together as a collective entity. Through this collaboration, they combine their strengths in common projects and often respond in their own ways, both individually and collectively, to the challenges of the era.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The vision of the ARC – Art Revisited Collective is to address art to society and to engage in continuous feedback through substantial dialogue about the issues of our time. Guided by the belief that art must maintain a dialectical relationship with developments, we consider it essential to construct an impactful artistic proposition with a significant societal address. We need to create new symbols that serve the present; we agree that the role of Art is not to merely “appease the audience,” yet we disagree that its role is to distance itself, displaying only bleak dystopias and arriving at definitive judgments like a priesthood of immaculate and infallible critics. We propose a functional Art, capable of approaching familiar issues with original methods, illuminating their lesser-known aspects, and challenging everyone to active engagement, action, and reflection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“New Symbols” is a project resulting from a dialogue between the curators Paris Kapralos & Jason Kairophylas and members of the collective. In the late 19th century, the Symbolist movement spread across Europe, acting as an antidote to the banality of the era’s Realism. Symbolism draws inspiration from the imaginative, guiding existential quests, and delving into philosophical themes. Its aim is to engage the viewer with a poetic and mystical disposition. Henceforth, the visual arts give birth to allegories that are revealed through symbols and encompass conceptual content.<\/p>

Through our project, we seek the new dialect of art that will enable it to effectively address the era, uniting forces from every artistic domain and human intellect. Today, as in the past, art is called upon to take another leap: to promote contemplation, generate new allegories, and provide the world with the New Symbols of our time. An open dialogue about new projects for discussion can be found on this Facebook page<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
