Rayon X: Basel Social Club with RECORDS

Christos Tzivelos

We are excited to present pioneering artist Christos Tzivelos (1949-1995) at Basel Social Club, with RECORDS.

The three sculptures exhibited at the back yard of Restaurant Predigerhof are rare examples of his Rayon X series, made in the early 1980s.

RECORDS is a new section of Radio Athènes and Melas Martinos dedicated to the re-examination of primarily Greek historical artists within the conditions of contemporary issues and practices. It emerged from the desire to make salient historical works that have been largely marginalized or forgotten, be part of a discursive process, and mix them with contemporary positions from around the world.

Christos Tzivelos at Basel Social Club with RECORDS is in collaboration with Akwa Ibom.

RECORDS is dedicated to the re-examination of primarily Greek historical artists within the conditions of contemporary issues and practices. It is committed to staging exhibitions in its spaces, but also off-site, to organizing events, and publishing new, unrealized, and out-of-print material around and about its artists.
