Gutter, the definition of the word gutter is primarily defined as a channel at the edge of a street or road with the purpose of carrying away surface water. However the word has a different meaning in the world of comic books, where gutters are the spaces between the image panels within the comic book pages. They say that a comic book gives you the images (action – reaction) and that you are re
quired to activate your imagination in order to connect them. And that exactly what the gutter is, the imagination required for filling the void between the images; and without that imagination, the comic would be less vivid and interesting. So I have decided to create a place of art (the gutter) with the intention of bridging the gap between reality and my imagination . The purpose of this space is to house the creativity of unique people, via the everyday interaction of artists and their clients, but also through an array of events which will be open to the general public. Within the confines of Gutter there will be some permanent art exhibitions (paintings, original comic art, jewelry , books) and many of the displayed items will be available for purchase. Furthermore , under the most professional premises, tattoos will be performed and occasionally there will be various other events happening , such as workshops, short term exhibitions, walk-in tattoo days and many more things that we haven’t even imagined yet..!!! Gutter is located at the ancient center of Athens, in Thiseio and will be ready and operating from the 1st of September 2016. The address, opening hours for the permanent exhibitions and information regarding the first events and the artists will be announced soon . For information regarding tattoos, you can continue to communicate with the artists directly via their profile pages , since tattoos will be by appointment only without the intervention of any secretarial personnel .
