New Hotel Art
- New Hotel Artwork by Laurie Anderson, "Numbers Runners" 1979, Business Corner
Laurie Anderson was born in Chicago in 1947. One of eight children, she studied the violin and played in the Chicago Youth Symphony. She graduated in 1969 from Barnard College in New York, and went on to study at Columbia University, working toward a graduate degree in sculpture. The art scene of the early 1970s fostered an experimental attitude among many young artists in downtown New York that attracted Anderson, and some of her earliest performances as a young artist took place on the street or in informal art spaces. In the most memorable of these, she stood on a block of ice, playing her violin while wearing her ice skates. When the ice melted, the performance ended. Since that time, Anderson has gone on to create large-scale theatrical works which combine a variety of media—music, video, storytelling, projected imagery, sculpture—in which she is an electrifying performer. As a visual artist, her work has been shown at the Guggenheim Museum; as well as extensively in Europe, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. She has also released seven albums for Warner Brothers, including "Big Science," featuring the song “O Superman,” which rose to number 2 on the British pop charts. In 1999, she staged "Songs and Stories From Moby Dick," an interpretation of Herman Melville’s 1851 novel. She lives in New York.

- New Hotel Artwork by Jenny Holzer, "Selections from the Survival Series" 1984, New Taste Restaurant
Jenny Holzer was born July 29, 1950, in Gallipolis, Ohio, into a family of two generations of Ford auto dealers. She completed her undergraduate degree at Ohio University after attending Duke University and the University of Chicago. While enrolled in the Rhode Island School of Design, Holzer experimented with an abstract painting style influenced by the color field painters Mark Rothko and Morris Louis. In 1976 she moved to Manhattan, participating in the Whitney Museum's independent study program. Holzer's conception of language as art, in which semantics developed into her aesthetic, began to emerge in New York. The Whitney program included an extensive reading list incorporating Western and Eastern literature and philosophy. Holzer felt the writings could be simplified to phrases everyone could understand. She called these summaries her "Truisms" (1978), which she printed anonymously in black italic script on white paper and wheat-pasted to building facades, signs, and telephone booths in lower Manhattan. Arranged in alphabetical order and comprised of short sentences, her "Truisms" inspired pedestrians to scribble messages on the posters and make verbal comments. Holzer would stand and listen to the dialogues invoked by her words.
- New Hotel Artwork by Barbara Kruger, "No. 4100 Untitled" 1985, Workshop Floor, Ladies Room
American conceptual / pop artist Barbara Kruger was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1945 and left there in 1964 to attend Syracuse University. Early on she developed an interest in graphic design, poetry, writing and attended poetry readings. Kruger’s earliest artworks date to 1969. Large woven wall hangings of yarn, beads, sequins, feathers, and ribbons, they exemplify the feminist recuperation of craft during this period. Despite her inclusion in the Whitney Biennial in 1973 and solo exhibitions at Artists Space and Fischbach Gallery, both in New York, the following two years, she was dissatisfied with her output and its detachment from her growing social and political concerns. In the fall of 1976, Kruger abandoned art making and moved to Berkeley, California, where she taught at the University of California for four years and steeped herself in the writings of Walter Benjamin and Roland Barthes. She took up photography in 1977, producing a series of black-and-white details of architectural exteriors paired with her own textual ruminations on the lives of those living inside. Published as an artist’s book, Picture/Readings (1979) foreshadows the aesthetic vocabulary Kruger developed in her mature work. By 1979 Barbara Kruger stopped taking photographs and began to employ found images in her art, mostly from mid-century American print-media sources, with words collaged directly over them. Her 1980 untitled piece commonly known as "Perfect" portrays the torso of a woman, hands clasped in prayer, evoking the Virgin Mary, the embodiment of submissive femininity; the word “perfect” is emblazoned along the lower edge of the image. These early collages in which Kruger deployed techniques she had perfected as a graphic designer, inaugurated the artist’s ongoing political, social, and especially feminist provocations and commentaries on religion, racial and gender stereotypes, consumerism, corporate greed, and power. During the early 1980s Barbara Kruger perfected a signature agitprop style, using cropped, large-scale, black-and-white photographic images juxtaposed with raucous, pithy, and often ironic aphorisms, printed in Futura Bold typeface against black, white, or deep red text bars. The inclusion of personal pronouns in works like Untitled (Your Gaze Hits the Side of My Face) (1981) and Untitled (I Shop Therefore I Am) (1987) implicates viewers by confounding any clear notion of who is speaking. These rigorously composed mature works function successfully on any scale. Their wide distribution—under the artist’s supervision—in the form of umbrellas, tote bags, postcards, mugs, T-shirts, posters, and so on, confuses the boundaries between art and commerce and calls attention to the role of the advertising in public debate. In recent years Barbara Kruger has extended her aesthetic project, creating public installations of her work in galleries, museums, municipal buildings, train stations, and parks, as well as on buses and billboards around the world. Walls, floors, and ceilings are covered with images and texts, which engulf and even assault the viewer. Since the late 1990s, Kruger has incorporated sculpture into her ongoing critique of modern American culture. Justice (1997), in white-painted fiberglass, depicts J. Edgar Hoover and Roy Cohn—two right-wing public figures who hid their homosexuality—in partial drag, kissing one another. In this kitsch send-up of commemorative statuary, Kruger highlights the conspiracy of silence that enabled these two men to accrue social and political power.
- New Hotel Artwork by Vassilis Balatsos, "Independent Landscape" #37, Junior Suite First Floor
Concerning the work:
Perspective was formed as an image, in the human brain, when man rised to his two feet and perceived the horizon. Urban landscape was the logical progress of this construction. Independent Landscapes research within this construction, the ways of living and being, referencing 20th c. Modernism.
- New Hotel Artwork by Rallou Panagiotou, "Bridge I, Bridge II, Bridge IV" 2011, Junior Suite Second Floor
Rallou Panagiotou’s works are condensed instances of situations within which power and luxury are being transformed. Her research focuses primarily on the transmutation of modernist ideas into symbols, their amagalmation with pop culture as exemplified through the New-Wave aesthetic and video games of the 1980s, as well as the architectural environments defined by Rem Koolhas as “junkspace”. The spatial negotiation of desire, access and luxury in public displays, through the mechanisms of institutions such as the museum, or the fashion industry, the semiotics of repetition and the transformation of materials, such as marble or plastic, official history and personal experience, reflect her interest for complex aesthetic and economic categories. This newtwork of relationships find form in her sculptural, painting and phottographic installations. Recent exhibitions: Sneak Preview, Andreas Melas & Helena Papadopoulos, ONE PERSON’S MATERIALISM IS ANOTHER PERSON’S ROMANTICISM, ReMap3, Athens, UNCUT/NORMAL TIME AT THE 75TH MERIDIAN, Studio Warehouse, Glasgow, MADONNA PSYCHO SLUT, Grimmuseum, Berlin, 100.EXHIBITION, Autocenter, curated by Joep Van Lιefland, Berlin, DIE UNVOLLENDETE, ACC, Weimar, 6th DESTE PRIZE, Museum of Cycladic Art Μουσείο Κυκλαδικής Τέχνης, Αθήνα.

- New Hotel Artwork by Kostas Saphazis, "Untitled" 2012, Junior Suite Fifth Floor
Born in Thessaloniki in 1977. Lives in Athens. The materials used by Kostas Sahpazis in his sculptural objects and assemblages (some of which are wall pieces-carrying thus attributes primarily associated with painting) vary: jesmenite, leather, cardboard, plastics, wood, oil paint, fabric. These elements are stitched, sewn, stuck together during a constant process of addition and subtraction. Although his interest in form overrides his interest in narration, his works seem closer to the concept of the “informe” as developed by Georges Bataille. The “informe” (formless) operates through various forms so that it destabilizes the organizing principle of form. In this way the “formless” is opposed to the fetishism of form, and is determined more by what it does rather by what it is. Recent exhibitions: Sneak Preview, Andreas Melas & Helena Papadopoulos, Petrosphere, Galini, ReMap3, Athens, Vitrina project, OpenShowStudio, Athens, When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog (with artist Dora Economou), Six D.O.G.S, Athens, Late Summer Spectres, curated by Dimitris Dokatzis, Red Port, Rafina, Sculptural Narration, curated by Dr. Erika Wacker-Babnik in collaboration with Dennis Zacharopoulos and Alexios Papazacharia, Alex Mylona Museum, Athens (Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens).

- Artwork at NEW Hotel Art Lounge by Cattelan Maurizio & Pierpaolo FerrariItalian artist Maurizio Cattelan (b.1960) is known as the art world’s agent provocateur, using what seem to be stunts to address universal themes around the nature of dogma, power and death.

Pierpaolo Ferrari (b. 1971) was born and raised in Milan where he developed his passion for photography and art. Since 1994 he specializes in advertising photography, collaborating with major agencies such as BBDO, McCann Erikson, DDB, Saatchi & Saatchi, Cheil Communication, Thompson and Wieden & Kennedy, working for brands like Nike, Audi, Mercedes, Vespa, Campari, BMW, Motorola, Sony, Rayban, Alfa Romeo, Heineken, MTV, Samsung, and the Biennale of Venice.

Ferrari lives and works between New York and Milan.Toilet Paper is an artists' magazine created and manufactured by artist Maurizio Cattelan and photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion/obsession they both cultivate: images. Each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists' mental outbursts.
Ever since the first issue of June 2010, Toilet Paper has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. The magazine is an exploration of society’s obsession with imagery, and the way in which commercial photography and advertisements manipulate our vision. For the joy of those who, in magazines, only watch pictures, in Toilet Paper there are no texts, apart from a long list of contributors, assistants, stylists and producers.

She develops a dialogue between the past and the present and discovers the poetry and romance that is generated through the manipulation of old, distant events and cultural products, by giving birth to novel meanings and interpretations. A great attention to detail and surrealistic elements can be traced throughout her practice, which includes drawings and ceramic sculptures. Miga lives and works in New York.
