The AWC grew out of an incident at MoMA during the exhibition curated by Pontus Hulten, The Machine at the End of the Mechanical Age: on January 3, 1969, Greek kinetic sculptor Vassilakis Takis, with the support of friends, physically removed his work from the exhibition.
They first saw national success in the Summer of 2012 when the video for their smash hit “Hot Cheetos and Takis,” went viral with over 7 million views, making it one of the hit songs of summer.
Klein was all too aware of Clert’s friendship with Takis, an artist pursuing similar means of aerostatic suspension and levitation.
In November 2013, the Museum opened 5000 Moving Parts, a year-long exhibition of kinetic art, featuring the work of Ganson, Anne Lilly, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, John Douglas Powers, and Takis.
He started playing football for Takis Oikonomopoulos's academy, in Artemida, Attica, from there, he moved to Paiania (training ground) to be a member of Panathinaikos's youth academies.
The museum houses more than 300 paintings by Greek artists such as Takis, Chryssa, Fassianos, Kounellis, Psychopedis and Tetsis, and international artists such as Auguste Rodin, Paul Delvaux and others.
Takis Ikonomopoulos' record places him in spot number 19 in the World's Top Division Goalkeepers of all time with the longest time without conceding a goal (the second highest for Greece, ranking at world spot 38 is Vasilis Konstantinou of Panathinaikos who went 988 minutes without giving up a goal, from 30 December 1979 until 16 March 1980).
