“Of Manners, of Trips” by Austria-based artist Valentina Triet

Opening: 7 June, 19:00-21:00
Exhibition: 10 June – 29 July 2026
AKWA IBOM, Valtetsiou 35 (1st floor), Athens

Austria based artist Valentina Triet’s “Of Manners, of Trips” continues the ongoing Provider series through newly developed videos that extend the series’ evolving form across time. Drawing from runway presentations that traverse different historical moments of fashion image culture, from 1980s prêt-à-porter and haute couture shows to recent livestreamed presentations, Provider reprocesses these circulated images into diffuse visual fields while leaving their original soundtracks intact.

The project was produced in collaboration with Phileas – The Austrian Office for Contemporary Art.

My warmest congratulations to the Arsakeia Schools of Psychiko, the teachers, and the students for the outstanding organization, artistic quality, and creativity of the highly successful tribute to Johann Strauss II, held on Monday, 18 May 2026, marking 200 years since his birth and 190 years since the founding of the Society for the Promotion of Education and Learning.
The students presented an excellent artistic program of waltzes, theatrical scenes, a hypothetical dialogue between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss, and a moving finale with the “Blue Danube” waltz.
This tribute was a wonderful celebration of Johann Strauss II’s legacy and a fine example of cultural education and European artistic dialogue.
