On Thursday, June 22nd, 2023, the show “Imprint” with Fuli Zavitsanou met Makis Solomos, Professor of Musicology at the University Paris 8 and scholar of the work of Iannis Xenakis, on the occasion of the exhibition presentation of the radical Greek artist that starts on June 29th at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST).
We talked about the mentality and work of Iannis Xenakis, about the peculiar combination of music with mathematics, astronomy, architecture and of course philosophy and politics, about his relationship with his two homelands, Greece and France, but also about Makis Solomos’ special look at this pioneering figure of the intelligentsia of the 20th century.
