  • One-Day Event Installation by Janis Rafailidou
    For the Launch of Situation Leeds Festival (2007):
    'Contemporary Artists & the Public Realm 07',
    Leeds Met Gallery, Leeds, UK.

    Commissioned by: Leeds Visual Arts Forum (LVAF).

    In using the vibrant colour palette of the Leeds Art Festival: Situation Leeds07, Janis represented the pink and orange colours by the literal use of strawberries and oranges in the event. Installing a fruit stall inside the gallery, she displayed during the launch of Situation Leeds piles of oranges and strawberries and fresh smoothies that was served to the visitors by the ‘greengrocers’ of her stall.
