James Joyce & Company
Exhibition of Artists' Books
The Greek translation of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake appeared in the market at the end of 2013. Eleftherios Anevlavis had devoted seven years of his life working on the monumental piece of writing and making it accessible to the reader.
Interestingly, this exhibition is taking place in the mansion of a distinguished translator, dragoman Hadjigeorgakis Kornesios (1750 – 1809).
James Joyce - 1882 – 1941 - had taken seventeen years to shape his literary work which was released in May 1939. Joyce with his family, had moved to Paris in the early twenties, and with the tremendous encouragement given to him on the release of his book Ulysses, he contuinued with his new writing which he preferred to describe as Work in Progress, before he gave it its final title Finnegans Wake.
In the making of their Art Books and installations the sixteen artists participating in this exhibition, chose either a work by James Joyce, or works that inspired him throughout his writing career, or works of fellow writers he met whilst living in Paris. These texts inspired the choice of the exhibition title , JAMES JOYCE & COMPANY.
