From June 4 till September 30, Santorini Arts Factory (SAF) presents Kelly’s solo sculpting exhibition entitled “High Frequency Vibration”.
In this exhibition the artist presents for the first time in public the new collection entitled "Enthalpy" which consists of 12 sculptures and some works by earlier themes that the sculptor has dealt with. The 18 works on display are put together to create a harmonious atmosphere.
In her new collection, the artist deals with the issue of energy vibrations that she observes in the material and immaterial structures. Apart from any theological approach and with the axiomatic assumption of the Energy Conservation Principle-that the algebraic sum of all forms of energy present in a system remains stable over time, the sculptor examines the energy content of the volumes created through the relationship of Substance - Non Substance. Metal sculptures of steel - the material that the creator shapes for her study- as thermodynamic systems, have- "Enthalpy" - to displace their environment and take over the position they are in. The structure vibrates at a specific frequency and correspondingly affects the space around it. In this new collection, the sculptor moves from the familiar stylistic style of strict geometric shapes and sharp corners to pear shaped constructions, waves and spirals. The forms are abstract and conventional representation is absent. With her sculptures, Kelly places man as a system at the core of his environment and leaves the viewer wondering about his personal vibration frequency.
From June 28 till July 28, Athens Megaron Concert Hall hosts the group exhibition “Ancient Suppliant- Contemporary Refugee”. At this exhibition which is within the global philosophical conference “The Philosophy of Aristotle”, Kelly presents the 25 square meters sculpture installation from steel that she created for this purpose, entitled “Entelechy”.
This summer, Kelly participates in two exhibitions of Holland Tunnel Gallery in Paros Island. “Morphogenesis” and “Metropolis” are the titles of the exhibitions to be presented in August.

On Friday 15 June 2012, at 20:30 the sculptor Kelly Athanasiadou presents in
Zappeion Megaron her latest collection inspired by the Pythagorean Tetractys.
Tetractys comprised the essence of the Pythagorean teaching.
A shape which consists of ten spots arranged in a triangular prototype.
Connecting the spots in different ways many triangular and rectangular
shapes arise.
Apart from the practical and scientific applications, the renowned
Pythagorean Tetractys is a philosophical and theosophical structure, in the
realm of logic and transcendental with multi-dimensional interpretations and
symbolisms which, when decodified by keen experts, reveal cosmic,
biological, moral qualities and knowledge.
The sculptor uses steel as her basic material of expression in a flashback
to ancient geometric structure. The aim is the promotion of harmony in the
way it is implemented in the Pythagorean system. In the viewer's visual
focus there are the austere proportions of volumes.
The collection will be presented in Athens on 15, 16 and 17 June and it will
be accommodated at "APOTHIKI GALLERY" in Paros island, for the period 30
July- 10 August.
A group exhibition of 9 artists is organized as part of ongoing visual
