Stoa 42 is thrilled to present Noises of Parallel Disaster, an experimental project by Blaqk and NoData.

Based on the subject of urban noise and the way of escaping reality through parallel views of life, Noises of Vertical Disaster explores the functions of memory and how the city, the urban surroundings and contemporary life can affect our perception and pervade our minds, often transforming our memories and changing the idea of our past. Memory traces blend with our current experiences and fiction, often leading us to a distorted view of our past.

The collaboration through Blaqk and NoData Collage is an ongoing experimentation project between form and image, texture and scenery. Simek and Greg (Blaqk) along with Markos Zouridakis (NoData) have been practicing graphic design and visual work together over two years of collaborations. In their work they mix different languages and mediums: Blaqks’ calligraphy, abstraction and geometry blends with the NoData’s photography and collage. Together they reflect on coexisting dualities and unexpected juxtapositions: past and present, reality and fiction, black and white, real and unreal, the individual gesture and the collective practice.

For the show at Stoa 42 they create a huge urban collage, in connection to the history of the space, a former photographic shop. The past of the space finds its perfect expression of reviving through the contemporary nostalgia of the three young artists.

On the occasion of the opening, a silkscreen print will be presented. At the opening the artists will be present.
