'ΥΛΗ[matter]HYLE
Modernisms are over, as they are just another process of understanding time, which coined the western culture and the 20th century. However to replace this model is truly difficult, since the time-line is present in the entire labor-life structure. 'ΥΛΗ[matter]HYLE is not following anglo-cultural models and paradigms of cultural studies but cultivates matter by people with an urgency to manifest the attitudes and vocabularies of another society. As logos (speech, writing, presentation) it is the need to form a place of emotional solidarity, of diversity, connection, care, and to establish common methodologies of thinking, working and being in the world.
It would be great to find biological time-coexistence models (philosophical maison de passe) just to show that the modern world of seeing before and after it is not given. The case study of an organism that brings together entities (people, animals, ideas, machines) who really feel the need to abandon self-restrictions and how they imagine themselves to be.
It is not about what we are understanding as past or future but the effort to support and sustain an ongoing state of notions and matters.
In Greek the word 'ΥΛΗ sounds like hyle and in English it means Matter. Hyle’s websites gather and share knowledge, interactions, news and discussions in the form of a textual transmitter and receiver that it is distributed freely and ongoing. Hyle’s physical manifestation stands as a meeting place for artists, philosophers, scientists and the passer-by at Omonoia square in the center of Athens.
For the grand opening on July 10th Charles Curtis will perform pieces for cello by Alvin Lucier. Doors open at 7pm.
