Javier Pérez Aranda // Andreas Nikoloulias
21.11.24 - 8.12.24

ad hoc apertum, sic presents the collaboration between Spanish installation artist Javier Pérez Aranda and musician Andreas Nikoloulias, reflecting on the transient and modular nature of contemporary culture. Aranda will create a "live" intervention, building on the ongoing project Super Sport #03 happening in the defunct refrigerator company ΨΥΓΕΙΑ ΨΗΛΟΡΕΙΤΗΣ. The transfer and immediate continuation of his evolving work to the Nileos space aims to connect with the history of the Thission building, which, before its transformation into today’s white-cube gallery, was also abandoned and dilapidated. Nikoloulias contributes to the process with field recordings and compositions, utilizing an ad hoc constellation of speakers as a parallel architecture of sound to complement Aranda's installation.
ad hoc apertum, sic is marked by the continuous transformation of everyday residues and discarded objects, transported from one space to another. Similarly, the past projects and practices of both artists merge into a single form, only to separate again after the closing of the show. By exploring the poetics of collaboration to craft a cohesive aesthetic narrative—defined by diverse media and technical resolutions and resisting overt connections to any social theme seeking validation—the exhibition reflects the automation of urban landscapes.
ad hoc apertum, sic invites the audience into the dialogue between sound, space, and structure, mirroring Athens’ architectural history. The city is depicted as a mutable grid shaped by casual modularity and ad hoc adaptations, evolving without deep-rooted historical reverence and often treating existing structures as ornament, obstacle, or both. Urban space in Athens appears more like a scaffold than a complete city; ad hoc apertum, sic is an extension of this scaffold. - Georgios Papadopoulos, PhD
