Moter 2 An art motor is running in Rhodes It has been running for the past eight months. This is the second time it is being organised. An event that aims to become a real motor vehicle for contemporary art. Born in Rhodes, like some art manifesto, it wishes to help young artists enter the art scene, as well as, to pay tribute to the older ones. 330 consecutive days of art are about to end soon. Though Moter 2 is still running... More specifically, Moter 2 (an acronym of the Greek phrase "Modern Art in Rhodes"), resulted out of an actual need in the island of Rhodes: to promote contemporary art. Amonsgt other important goals this mostra attempts to debag the elite profile of art, to pay attention to the artistic proccess and not only to the artistic product and become an annual event where new ideas and contemporary art works are presented together. Thus, after last year's Moter 1, Moter 2 has been in full function since October 5, 2002. Its significant difference this year, is that it lasts longer since it includes more participant artists, who are not local ones. Furthermore, having done pretty well last year, this year's event discovers, transforms and moves forth, towards more ambitious destinations. The programme of Moter 2 includes 21 solo and 1 group exhibitions. On top of that, lectures, workshops and parallel events are also taking place. In specific, since the beginning of the event, artists Alkisti Michailidou, Damon Papakiriakou, Magdalene Kourti, Martha Dimitropoulou, Christos Ponis, Ioanna Hatzidiakou, Yorgos Kouroupas, Captain Fly, Maud Guterstam, Koumou, Nikos Papadimitriou, Tasos Papadogonas, Angelos Spartalis, E2.13, Maria Anezia and Angelos Michailidis have already exhibited in solo. The artists that exhibit until September 5, 2003, are: Elli Gravalou (28/06-11/07), Kyourh (12-25/07), Panagiots Brademas (26/07-08/8), Ourania Volonaki (09-22/08) and Tasso (23/08-05/09). Their exhibitions coincide with this year's "Summer 2003 in Rhodes" festivities organized by the Cultural Organization of the Municipality of Rhodes. With various styles and diverse expressive means (painting, sculpture, photography, installations, art constructions, video and digital art) the 21 artists of Moter 2 approach to common domains of interest since reality, as well as, their problematic sometimes conlude at the same point. These common thematic units are: Water Element and Technology, Dream and Fairy tale, Landscapes and Textures, Human Reflections, Materials and Criticism and Consumption and Identity.
