The
first Orange Water festival is built on the idea of exchanges between contemporary
artists from Holland and Greece with the main theme “Memory
Landscape”. The venues used are non-profit, possessing artistic and touristic
interest. The first festival was hosted in sites located in Crete (Heraklion
and Chania), Paros (Naousa, Paroikia, Lefkes) and Athens, some of which are
historic monuments. The aim of the festival is to provide a bridge of culture
between Greece and Holland, especially in the field of the visual arts,
attempting to spread later to more countries by organizing exhibitions both in
Greece and abroad…

The
“Memory Landscape” is the central idea of all the exhibitions of the first
Orange Water festival. In these exhibitions are joined the projects by
distinguished Greek and Dutch artists, as a representative sample of the
contemporary art scene in both countries, stretching from abstract art to
realism. The exhibitions deal with the relationship of the gaze to memory and
reality. The notion of memory entails also that of amnesia, whether it is selective
– via a conscious or unconscious process – or through prejudices and ideas that
affect the filtration of information. The rapid developments in neuroscience
and brain mapping have revealed extraordinary details about the memory
function. The human eye is not only a receiver of external images but also
works as a projector of images displayed by the brain. Thus, each person sees –
and therefore understands – the world in a completely different way. The
artists in this exhibition are invited to explore the subjective nature of
memory using it as a creative stimulus for their work. They process the idea of
memory in historical, political, mythological, dreamy, psychedelic, spiritual
ways. The exhibitions present paintings, sculptures and installations using mixed
techniques, digital media and conceptual art.
