THE DREAM ROOM BY SOTIRIS TRECHAS
The Dreamer is a multidisciplinary artist based in Athens, Greece. With his permanent residence in Athens he has been working as a photographer collaborating with international magazines, brands and media as well as co-founding Neon Raum, a photography studio and showroom for upcoming designers based in the center of Athens. Being a self made artist The Dreamer aka Sotiris Trechas has been running his own brand with collectible T-shirts and other products which are all based on his dreamy, pop culture aesthetic. Having published his first portfolio book with the title DREAM COLOR in 2015 his name spread through Europe with important stockists, like Reina Sofia national museum of arts in Madrid and others, hosting his publication in their art space. Having already done solo shows and with participation in several art events from 2010 at Athens Video Art Festival to the PGSM Eiffel Tower event, Zootrope exhibition at CAMP, Trash Art 2012, Bios Athens and Occupy Atopos The Dreamer solo show in 2016; being declared one of the most colorful shows to date in the gallery the artist decided to start a new project called Fluffer Everyday. A porn, erotica magazine with a focus on the presentation of everyday photographs which turn into fantasies and obsessions thus sexually stimulating the viewer’s mind. The magazine is available online and through some carefully selected stockists internationally like Prinz Eisenerz in Berlin, Magculture in London, Les mots à la bouche in Paris, The fish and chips shop in Barcelona and proudly announcing Contemporary Cluster as the first official stockist in Rome. THE DREAM ROOM is not a simple installed exhibition but a trip through time and space. The artist decides to play and establish a dialog between the past of the historical space of Contemporary Cluster, Palazzo Cavellerini and the present through a futuristic point of view combining several forms of art like murals, sculptures, works on paper, and for the first time artworks presented on fabric. With his main inspiration deriving from art movements like pop art, commercialism and futurism The Dreamer intends to guide the audience through a time traveling experience in which they will watch and in a way participate by stepping into time loop world which is characterized by bright colors, playfulness and his own personal edgy signature. Contemporary Cluster acting as a vessel of experimentation on contemporary art and contemporaneity passing through different approaches and modalities, is proud to be involved into this artistic venture and giving the chance to the Roman audience to experience new forms of art as well as understand the modern vision of new and fresh artists who express something more than ideas in the world of contemporary art.
