freddie carabott is a greek pioneer “graphic designer” whose work, especially in the 60’s and 70’s, characterized the poor, almost non-existent, greek design scene of those times. his work is a synthesis of painting, paper constructions and photography and it is really fascinating the way he blends all these techniques to create simple yet extremely emotional images.

dimitris papaioannou (1964) is a greek avant-garde stage director, choreographer and visual artist. his performances are an exquisite composition of his diverse and multidisciplinary background and as such the viewer can spot details deriving from various art (painting and dance) movements. although minimalistic the images he creates on the scene are particularly expressive.

carlo scarpa (1906 – 1978) was an influential italian architect. he was a virtuoso of light and a master of details. because of his attention to detail he was in constant touch with his artisans, and his drawings were revised almost daily to reflect a preindustrial attention to old methods of construction (similarly to the way renaissance artists/architects were working and more recently, antonio gaudi).
