WHEN I FINALLY COME BACK TO LIVE IN GREECE PERMANENTLY IN 2004 , I ENCOUNTERED A BIG PERSONAL CHALLANGE :
TO COMBINE ARCHITECTURE AND ART , FIELDS VERY WELL KNOWN TO ME , EVER SINCE "SAAL GALLERY , ANGELA DIKEOULIA" , IN EISENACH - KONSTANZ /ATHENS -KIFISSIA- NEUE KUNST GALLERY AND MY ARCHITECTURAL OFFICE WERE UNDER THE SAME ROOF. MY THEORETICAL THINKING AS SUCH DROVE ME TO THE FOREGROUND OF A P
ROCESS WHICH RESULTED IN QUITTING STAGNATION AND REPETITION PREVAILING IN AN ART SPACE . THROUGH DESIGN PROCEDURE, VISUAL PERCEPTION AND GEOMETRIC ORGANIZATION, I CREATED THE GALLERY ART CARGO , ANGELA DIKEOULIA . COLLABORATING WITH RENOWNED AND OUTSTANDING ARTISTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, THAT REPRESENT CONTEMPORARY FINE ARTS , I DISPLAY THEIR WORK IN SPECIAL PLACES, LIKE IN A SMELTER IN GAZI - ATHENS, ON A TRADITIONAL YACHT JUANITA ELSA - MIKROLIMANO - PIREUS , IN A WAREHOUSE - ELGEKA , IN A SPACE OF A BREWERY - FIX HELLAS , NEWSPAPER ,TV STATION OR ANY OTHER PARTICULAR PLACE THAT CAN HOST WORKS OF ART THAT PIONEER AND DIFFER. THIS EXHIBITION PROVIDE A PLATFORM FOR YOUNG ARTISTS. THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THESE EXHIBITIONS ARE THAT THESE PLACES OPERATE ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKING STATUS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM, IN ORDER TO BE IN PERPETUAL MOTION AND TO WORK ALONG WITH THE VISUAL EVENT. EACH EXHIBITION CAN THUS BE MORE COMPLEX , MORE EXPRESSIVE OR MORE ATTRACTIVE , BUT THE WORKS OF ART PLAY THE FIRST ROLE . THE ORGANIZATION OF THE EXHIBITION WITH THE TITLE - TIO ILAR I , II AND III - ΤΙΩ ΕΙΛΑΡ - 2008 / 2009 / 2010 BY THE GALLERY ART CARGO IN THE SPACE OF THE COMPANY ELGEKA WAS ADDITIONAL TO MY OWN INTENTIONS AND THOSE OF THE ARTISTS, TO CHARITY . IN MY OPINION THE ART LOVING PUBLIC THAT VISIT THESE SHOWS , PARTICIPATES IN AN ACTIVITY WHICH IS CONSTANTLY EXPANDING , INTERACTING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS , INFLUENCING AND BEING INFLUENCED SIMULTANEOUSLY.
