Costis Antoniadis
Syn-opsis
Bazeos Tower
June 14-September 17, 2014
Daily: 10:00-17:00
A different art exhibition takes place each year at Bazeos Tower. This year a renowned photographer and professor of photography Costis Antoniades invites us to get to know him through a series of photographs that are representative of his work in time. The collection was last exhibited at the Benaki Museum in Athens in 2013.
Portraits and intriguing environments as well as a surprising and unexpected view of Naxos landscapes processed under the “day for night” technique i.e. pictures taken in broad daylight with the use of a blue filter. This special effect was first attempted in film making. The effect on the viewer-spectator may be the awakening of a strange desire for an adventurous trek with a “road movie” feeling.

Groove Catchers jazz group
D'une esthétique jazz-fusion influencée par Wayne Krantz, Oz Noy ou Joshua Redman, Groove Catchers développe sa propre personnalité en mêlant grooves asymétriques, improvisations interactives et énergie collective. Le son est brut, l’interprétation sans compromis. Une sorte de classe naturelle se dégage de ce jeune group. Bref, c’est du jazz de comptoir qui tache le parquet et c’est très bon.
The trio Groove Catchers, is the meeting of three young musicians who start a work composition on 2009 during workshops at the Jazz School in Tours, France. A project with an aesthetic Jazz Rock, Groove Catchers is an original Trio with musical personalities asserted:
drums , Johan Barrer
bass ,Antoine Guillemette
alto saxophone, Bastien Weeger
Groove Catchers find strength in a musical complicity combined with an energy close to the rock and funk music. Groove Cathers made a name for himself by winning a lot of jazz competitions in France. That's how they started touring more and more and finally met Julien Stella who becomes the 4st member of the band by adding a very interested touch playing bass clarinet and beat box.
