Along with Nikos Arvanitis’ work A Thousand Sounds from Mount Ida
The first, last and everlasting Psiloritis Biennale is an ideal artistic event with real works, known though through improvised catalogues, since no one can attend an exhibition on the inaccessible mountain top, even if there would be an invitation. Like a concert that nobody attended, but became known through recordings, the works that are placed or materialized on the trails and on the mountaintop are being recorded for the purpose of being presented by a publication that, at least in the beginning, circulates from hand to hand.
The most recent project implemented in the context of the Biennale is Nikos Arvanitis'A Thousand Sounds from Mount Ida, and it involves a cassette that, with its two sides and its case, constitutes a threefold treatment of the natural landscape and its technical mediation. The choice of the cassette as a recording medium is made with the aim of referring back to technologies of itinerant recording and listening, while inevitably referring to practices of music sharing/distribution through open, amateur and pirate models of music and artistic content distribution.
Through the hybrid fanzine Farasi, the First, last and everlasting Biennale of Psiloritis distributes a work freely for reproduction and listening. You download both sides of the cassette from the corresponding QR codes and copy them onto a sixty-minute cassette (if you can find one). You cut out half the issue and fold it to make the cover. Have a good listening.

Thursday 25 January 2024 18:00
Bookstore Charta
Lecture within the framework of the modules:
Space and Poetics, Department of Architecture
Professor Phoebe Giannisi
Specific Topics in Performance Studies
Department of Culture and Creative Media and Industries
Assistant Professor: Marios Chatziprokopiou
and The Laboratory of History, Theory and Conceptual Design for Architecture, the City and the Environment of the Department of Architecture.
The author, translator, and radio producer Giorgos Koropoulis will meet students at Bookstore Charta in the city of Volos. On the occasion of the recent publication of the translation of Purgatory (Sestina: Athens 2023), as well as the radio series dedicated to Dante on theThird Public Radio Programme in Greece, Koropoulis will discuss issues related to space, trajectory, performance poetry, and the process of translation.
Biography
GIORGOS KOROPOULIS was born in Athens in 1960. He studied Dentistry and specialized in not practicing it. Since 1980 he has been working as a proofreader and a copy editor. He published articles (sometimes systematically, sometimes not) in newspapers and magazines. At times, he also worked as a radio producer, and wrote texts for documentaries and movies. He translated (among others) Akhmatova, Cavalcanti, Catullus, Laforgue, Brecht, Pasternak, Rilke, Tsvetayeva. He translates Dante's Divine Comedy –with some difficulties- using the terza rima and the hendecasyllabic verse. His poems have been translated into all languages, but he does not give permission for the translations to be published, while he shamelessly conceals the countless honours he received all over the world.
farasi.zine
Farasi is a zine of the Department of Architecture, University of Thessaly- Laboratory of History, Theory and Conceptual Design for Architecture, City and the Environment.
Editors in Chief: Phoebe Giannisi, Iris Lykourioti, Fani Paraforou
Farasi is a fanzine that is dedicated to the earth, the air, the water, the mountain or the sea. Etymology: arabic ةشارفfarasha, the butterfly, as the form of the farasha resembles an adult butterfly. The butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. It is born in the shape of an egg, and when it becomes a caterpillar (larva) its glands excrete thin layers of silk, building a cocoon in which it turns into a chrysalis. Emerging from the filamentous shell it takes the form of an adult butterfly with wings. Butterflies are herbivorous and most of them show cases of sexual dimorphism.
zine
Fanzine is a form of publication associated with counterculture and subculture, with public but minority and non-dominant discourse. As a rule, cultural institutions and educational organizations were not official supporters but were the main sites of dissemination and production, even if this was performed in parasitic terms.
farasi
My Farasi picks up from the ground what I have swept and what the wind, feet and shoes have brought: dirt, leaves, crumbs, shoots, dog hair and our own, pieces of paper, cement, dust and wool, because each one sweeps its own garbage, garbage of its own place and home - and each sweep presupposes a system and close observation of the floor. Where do we throw away what our farash collects?
Farasi.zineis published by the Laboratory of History, Theory and Conceptual Design of the Department of Architecture, University of Thessaly. In each issue of the first series, a person is invited to intervene through zine in the public sphere. Depending on the media used in each issue, it is distributed in different ways, as a digital archive or in print.
