National Printing House opens its doors to artists and the public
MARGARITA POURNARA
http://www.ekathimerini.com/204432/article/ekathimerini/life/national-print…
The National Printing House is turning 190 years old. Its machines have
churned out every moment in the history of the modern Greek state, quite
literally if you consider that the actual “letter” of the law, the
Government Gazette (FEK) and every election ballot comes from this building.
Greece’s first state-run printing press was launched in Nafplio in 1825,
with the publication of the “Newspaper of the Administration,” used to
publish state acts and announcements. When Athens became the capital of the
modern Greek state in 1834, a new one was built on what is now
Panepistimiou Street. In 1907, the service was transferred to Kapodistriou
Street, in a charming building that was expanded in 1937.
The National Printing House on Thursday inaugurated an exhibition at these
premises titled “FEK + Art,” curated by Louiza Karapidaki, who invited 30
artists to contribute to the display.
The tireless curator was also behind another fascinating exhibition in 2014
at the General State Archives, allowing the public a closer look as another
key state institution.
“There are a lot of similarities between the two exhibitions, mainly in
that they allow citizens access to services that are usually visited for
practical, less pleasurable reasons,” Karapidaki says. “Now, thanks to art,
people will literally be able to see the institution from a different
perspective.”
Karapidaki chose artists of different ages and who use different
techniques. They visited the press for inspiration.
“Very few of the works pre-existed the project. The rest are completely
incorporated into the National Printing House’s environment, as the artists
drew ideas from many different facets of its operation.”
Among the artists that are taking part in the show are Yiannis Psychopedis,
Kallirroi Marouda, Alekos Kyrarinis, Aphrodite Litti, Yiannis Adamakis,
Dimitris Sevastakis and Rena Papaspyrou.
“The opening of the National Printing House to the public is one of our
priorities and it is not restricted to the exhibition,” says the
institution’s secretary, Dimitris Papadimitropoulos. “We have also launched
a special competition that ends in early January, an invitation to graphic
artists, as we are looking for original proposals to upgrade the Government
Gazette from both an aesthetic and a functional perspective so it will be
more in line with the changes in printing and digital technology.”
The exhibition (at 34 Kapodistriou, tel 210.527.9101) will run to February
10, 2016. Opening hours are Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to
1 p.m. and Wednesdays and Fridays from 5.30 to 7.30 p.m.

*THALES - The Greece of the Second World to the Cold War. International
relations and internal developments*
The Project
The research project aims to record and display the interaction between the
Greek political scene and international aspirations of the Great Powers and
neighboring, Balkan countries as it takes place in the period from the end
in the B World War until the first phase of the Cold War.
The means to achieve a thorough study carefully localized archival material
from various archives of the countries involved. Research in international
relations and the role of all the countries affected directly or
indirectly, developments in Greek politics and the attitude of the Greek
state, the Greek Government and parties towards these influences. It is the
first attempt of synthetic valuation of international relations, the impact
and role of foreign forces in Greek politics this time, after the important
files opening in Eastern Europe and the former USSR in the period 1989-1991
and beyond.
Apart from an attempt of analysis of the role of the "West" and "East" in
Greek things, the project will serve as a repository for large amounts of
unknown and unavailable archival material, that after completion of this
material is accessible and usable to Greek and non-researchers.
