Untitled (high degree of autonomy), 2014
Marble
1 x one tyre 78 cm diameter
1 marble wedge

Literature

2014, "Onderkoelde spanning rond de Griekse crisis", Parool

Antonis Pittas' use of marble for his sculptures, as the Untitled (high degree of autonomy), emphasizes the tension between the mutable and passing element. The tyre-like marble sculptures are based on the materials used in violence associated with the protest movement that has swept through (mostly Southern) Europe. Pittas makes physical this violence, hardening it in the durable material of marble. In doing so, he also monumentalizes the small occurrences that form public history, by using texts derived from the news reports on these protests.
