Alexios Papazacharias at the group exhibition “DOES IT MATTER?”

The exhibition “Does it Matter?” held under the auspices of the Embassy of Greece in Riga brings together works by 11 Greek visual artists from different artistic media; dedicated to the Centenary of diplomatic relations between Greece and Latvia, it is inaugurated on the occasion of the official visit to Latvia of H.E. The President of the Hellenic Republic Ms Katerina Sakellaropoulou. The exhibition, curated by the artist Chloe Akrithaki, focuses on the artists’ relationship with the medium of photography, a relationship that reveals itself as one of simultaneous dependence and admiration, an endless dynamic or the only way to realize the work. At the end, it is an approach to photography based on its material dimension. An attempt to underline the importance of matter and material, which are of great importance because in the case of art, matter and meaning are inseparable and decisive. The artists participating in the exhibition are active in Greece and abroad and apart from photography they work with different media such as sculpture, performance, painting, video and installations.
