On Tuesday the 25th of May, in the artshop of "Astrolavos artlife" an exhibition of artistic constructions opens under the title "Invisible Cities, Visible Playgrounds" by Vasiliki Holeva .The reason for creating this kind of work was Italo Kalvino's book "Invisible Cities". Baltrada, Eutropia, Olinta, Ersilia and other utopian cities acquire shape through constructions which seem to have the purpose to urge the spectator to deal with his own desires and fears.

These constructions are miniatures of the cities described in Kalvino's texts, viewed through the eyes of the artist. The cities are constructed in a way that conceals any hint of pessimism or negativism by using an illusory, naive and lightsome covering of colors, shapes, materials etc. The sequence of the materials is inexistent (just like the sequence of images in dreams), the colors are vivid and Game is present everywhere.

Every city-playground invites in its own way the viewers-inhabitants into their complicated and mysterious urban net through a two-way game by using sounds, light and motion. Thus, the viewer is given the opportunity to feel the spirit of the cities as if he were an inhabitant.

The materials used by the artist are dexion, wood, fabric, mirrors, plexi-glass, industrial material, paper, lenses, colors etc while some of the cities are framed with electric and sound installation.

The duration of the exhibition is until the 22nd of June 2004.
