According to the «Greek Art from A to Z» book artworld purists don’t approve of artworks that «instead of posing hard questions to the viewer, enhance the sofa’s fabric». 

Curator Alexandra Kollaros, also the author of the book, singles out 18 artists she admires for their artistic skill and invites them to create artworks inspired by this statement.

The group show is presented at «9 ΕΝΝΕΑ» Cultural Space, opening 28 March 2019.

The exhibition’s title, an inside joke, winks mischievously at the audience. What should one expect in this case upon hearing the words «Artworks that enhance the sofa’s fabric» then;

Artworks you want to live with. Artworks you can recognise as actual artworks upon seeing them. Also, the type of artworks most people gravitate towards, when not in possession of a PhD in Art History and a cultural foundation of their own. Could we maybe say «approachable» artworks? A large portion of art professionals detest this concept. They deem it debases the high calling of art, the ultimate mission of which is to pose hard questions and trouble the viewer. This is one way of looking at it. Another way is to recognise that art is supposed to express feelings and ideas and moreover convey them in an immediate, easy to apprehend way.
