Aesthetic Theory Philosophy & other Spaces

 

art notes & works Maria Sevastaki 2015 2022 

Yesterday evening I followed and listened to the INTERDISCIPIINARY ZOOM MEETING ON PHILOSOPHY & ASTRONOMY that are to serve the 2nd Pythagoras Festival in August 2022 on Samos. When one the speakers Professor Apostolos Apostolou spoke on Kostas Axelos ‘Planetary Thought’ my Mind remembered a book I had misplaced titled: Aesthetic Theory by T. Adorno.


For the 2nd year a Pythagoras Festival will take place on our island. 

After the meeting I looked again for the book & found it in front of my small easel … Inside is a warm dedication by my sister that gifted this book while she was in Thessaloniki March 2001. Inside I found photos of my sister & brother Gary and a strange note by someone unknown today to me in Greek & English that writes: ΠΑΛΑΤΙ ΤΩΝ ΙΔΕΩΝ & signed by Frendivian Seval. (?) Each time I travel I take this book with me as it gives me strength and endless inspiration ….


The Book 


Photo images and strange note I found in Adornos Aesthetic Theory  


My sister Athanasia gave birth to Nikola in Belfast in 2016. I then conceived the concepts 'DREAMTIME'  ‘REFORM’ & “PATHOLOGIES” a little before was the BLUE CEMETERY concept (while visiting cousins in London)and these works where completed in Samos 2018. I made many artworks on paper along with ART CASH for our ART BANK collection (Litsa Mousouli artist/author 
of 
Art Bank Manifesto http://trapezatehnis.blogspot.com/p/art-bank.htmlGreece). I also made some many funny self portraits not to forget who I am. This one I m sharing with you was serving as a book mark in Belfast 2016.

The Philosophy Astronomy ZOOM meeting yesterday ended up to some critical questions on Technology, Art & Humanity

This meeting was very inspiring for me and justifies the reasons why I have chosen to live & work on Samos.

One of the professors sent this to us & asked if it was art

I  thank Dr Stamatis Skoutas for this invite and the spiritual contribution and feedback on the wall mural fire & water at the Samos City Hotel.  I also feel previliged listening to the distinguished Professors sharing valuable thoughts in these very troubled times

          Art for me is the full ness & less ness of life & space 
                  Maria Sevastaki said this to herself in 2001 in Karlovasi Samos.
