- Description
-
Four artists living in North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Greece and Hungary, and working in the fields of painting, sculpture, graphic design, fashion design, craftwork and mural, were selected to participate in an art residency in the Spetses island (Greece), in order to create original artworks inspired by the local traditions related to the sea. Part of the activities in the framework of the “ECHO II: Traditions In Transition” European project.
During the Spetses Art Residency (June 2021), the artists-in-residence worked in the Three Spetsiot Martys Church in the Aghios Nikolaos (Saint Nicholas) area. The working space is actually the zenana of the church – admittedly, a quite weird place for an artistic workshop… But the area is related to the selected tradition of the residency since it used to be the base of the shipyard and warehouses of Hatzigiannis Mexis (1754 – 1844) – a notable resident, shipowner, and merchant of Spetses. - Hatzigiannis Mexis
