"Der griechische Pavillon verpflanzt Politik auf eine Meta-Ebene"
MICHAEL HUBER, KURIER, AT
La Grecia, non perde tempo, e crea nel suo padiglione un capolavoro che vale da solo il biglietto di tutta Biennale.
FILIPPOMARIA PONTANI , IL FATTO QUOTIDIANO, IT
"Il padiglione della Grecia è indubbiamente e tra tutto, la cosa più utile, elegante, potente e complessa da vedere di tutta la biennale."
GAIA SERENA SIMIONATI , ARSKEY MAGAZINE, IT
"L’esperimento di Drivas è riuscito: lo spettatore uscirà dal padiglione senza una risposta ma con molte domande sul nostro tempo."
LETIZIA CAUDULLO, WE ART, IT
"Padiglioni da non perdere, come Laboratory of Dilemmas di George Drivas per la Grecia"
LUDOVICO PRATESI, ARTRIBUNE, IT
"It’s a poignant nod to Greece’s ancient cultural heritage at a time when, as a nation, Greece is struggling with major political and socio-economic issues."
ANNA SOUTER, THE UPCOMING, UK
"The parallels that can be made from this piece are socially and politically complex and current."
SHAUN BADHAM, A-N THE ARTISTS INFORMATION COMPANY, UK
"Inspired by Aeschylus’ theatre play Iketides (Suppliant Women), which poses a dilemma between saving the Foreigner and maintaining the safety of the Native, Drivas’ work is masterful in its playful confusion and deliberate boundary-playing."
SOPHIE HILL, BOW ARTS, UK
"Grecia presenta una obra con referentes nacionales para tratar un tema global."
ARIANA BASCIANI, THE OBJECTIVE, ES
"Une grande scène cinématographique digne de L’Aveu de Costa-Gavras – sous forme de réunion en urgence d’un conseil d’administration en colère formé par les savants, les directeurs de recherche et les directeurs financiers – fait avorter cette aventure scientifique."
EMMANUEL DAYDE, ART ABSOLUMENT, FR
"Die Poesie, die das dem Forschungsgegenstand liebevoll zugeneigt erscheinende wissenschaftliche Sprechen in Drivas’ Installation stellenweise entfaltet, öffnet Freiräume, in denen sich die Argumentationen um die mögliche Weiterführung des Experiments auch und vor allem in andere Richtungen als bloß die der Naturwissenschaften weiterdenken lassen."
ELLEN WAGNER, FAUST KULTUR, DE
"Drivas wants visitors to slow down and let the allegorical meaning of the experiment sink in. Anyone who rushes through his installation will miss Charlotte Rampling’s cameo, and possibly even catharsis."
COLLEEN BARRY, ASSOCIATED PRESS, USA
