Text by Nicolas Mavrikakis, artist
He’s baaaaack!!
After offering his mother as a scapegoat in a performance in May of 2012, at Joyce Yahouda Gallery, this time he’s putting his father on display for all to see. Like many young [!!!] artists with nothing to say, Mavrikakis uses his family as subject matter to make his debut in artistic creation. Next time, his creative pursuits may involve his great-aunt or second cousin! Who knows?
Come see why art critic, independent curator, and professor Nicolas Mavrikakis has this love – though some would say “hate” – of art. Come see what he retains of his father... Come see the work, the collection that Mavrikakis has brought together. Come see the connections Mavrikakis develops with dreams and the imagination... We cannot guarantee you that everything is truthful. We’ll leave it up to you to decide or lose yourself in the labyrinth of stories to be told by Mavrikakis.
The exhibition ends with a performance constituting an appropriation of Jean Cocteau’s monodrama, The Human Voice.
