From the utopias of antiquity and Plato’s Republic to the Cubo-Futurist manifestos, technological optimism, and the dystopias of our time, the history of humanity has always been imbued with the quest for a better world.
The art exhibition “Tatlin’s Dream. Utopias. The Eternal Return”, curated by Dimitris Trikas, explores these pathways of imagination and political thought, shedding light on how utopia—at times a promise of hope and at others a looming threat—continues to inspire humankind to confront the present and envision the future.
The exhibition is hosted at the Athens Conservatoire, an emblematic modernist “building-utopia” designed by architect Ioannis Despotopoulos, and is accompanied by an extensive public program including talks, performances, and artistic events, in collaboration with universities and research laboratories.
With the support of:
the Archives of Contemporary Social History (ASKI), the Laboratory for the Study of Democracy – E.ME.DI. / DemLab of the Department of Political Science at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the Laboratory for the Study of Institutional Discourse of the Department of Philosophy at National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), the Laboratory of Digital Studies of the Department of Sociology at NKUA, the postgraduate program “Philosophy and Sociology of the Arts and Culture” of the Departments of Philosophy at the University of Patras and Sociology at NKUA, the Laboratory of Anthropological Research of the Department of Social Anthropology at Panteion University, the Laboratory of Cultural Management of the Department of Communication, Media, and Culture at Panteion, and AiTHERION – NCSR Demokritos.

Stand in Line - Art Space is pleased to present the first solo show of Nikos Moschos in Cyprus, entitled ''Raw Μaterials''. Through a new body of works, the acclaimed artist poses his questions about the world and the place of contemporary humans. A succession of associations starting from reality go through mental shifts and transcendences to be distilled into his art in an allegorical way.

Zoumboulakis Galleries invites you to the new group exhibition titled, "Ink and
Stone", where the timeless dialogue between sculpture and drawing unfolds. The
exhibition brings together a number of visual references that examine the language
of drawing and sculpture as interconnected, or parallel.
The intimate relationship between drawing and sculpture bridges centuries of artistic
tradition.
In "Ink and Stone" this is presented through the merge of contemporary artists with
historic works from the collection of Zoumboulakis Galleries. Works that complement
and contrast each other, addressing both the tactile and the visual dimension
contained in the common space between the fields of drawing and sculpture; thus
revealing intermediate, dialectical spaces, creating a context where the tactile and
the ethereal converge.
The drawings that occupy the walls of the gallery capture either fleeting moments of
inspiration, or meticulous studies that offer hidden glimpses into the artistic process,
revealing the genesis of the ideas that eventually take shape through the
transformation of inert matter into sculptural narratives. The sculptures on display
incorporate both classical structures and traditional elements, such as marble and
clay, and contemporary references, such as found objects, cement and graphite.
The artistic practices are intertwined in a dialogue that harnesses the semantic
variety of the dimensions of materials; exploring the connections and contrasts
between formalistic and conceptual approaches, they weave a narrative that probes
the immersion in surface and materiality, as opposed to the focus on line and form.

The art exhibition "Eleonas '23 - Chthonius and Anthropocene" hosts the works of 48 artists and is accompanied by a rich public program, performances and other actions. It focuses on the Chthonian element and the Anthropocene era through their conflict but also their conversation, with the area of Eleonas being the field of study and the point of reference.
The exhibition with the works, speeches and actions of the project aims to highlight the critical and complex situations caused by the timeless conversation but also the conflict between Nature and Man, the dipoles that dominate the area as a result of the harsh human footprint, the relation of the past to the present and vice versa.

In the group exhibition ''Intersections'', a search is carried out through the works of eight painters and the spiritual intersections they create within the gallery space.
As we take a look in the works of the participants, we can distinguish intersections of influences or even ideas. It also forms a very interesting set through which one can analyze the mental tension of the artists, beyond the visual pleasure.
Participating artists: Christos Athanasiadis, Alexia Karavela, Irini Karagiannopoulou, Kiki Kolympari, Leon Michael, Miltos Michaelides, Nikos Moschos, Nikos Papadopoulos
Curator: Angeliki Antonopoulou

“Encore: New Greek Painting” features 33 painters. The term “new” refers to their painting language and the inherent qualities of their work rather than their age.
This exhibition adopts an interrogatory nature. Unlike regular exhibitions organised around a specific medium, our intention is not to imply any cultural superiority or aesthetic autonomy of painting. On the contrary, we aim to initiate a discussion by posing questions forming our investigation’s basis.
Encore: New Greek Painting serves as a survey of the field in Greece today, although it is not exhaustive and does not aim to establish a canon. Its purpose is to identify trends and languages in contemporary art and uncover any underlying regularities. Of course, many exceptional painters warrant inclusion, but an exhibition is inherently a closed system that promises expansion. The initial version of this exhibition took place in 2021 in Agios Nikolaos, Crete, with support from the Municipality. The exhibition title recognises precisely this: Every artistic act is followed by a desire for repetition – an encore – to sustain the emotional bond and ongoing apprenticeship.

In the exhibition entitled ''Free Associations'', which consists a representative part of Polly and Christos Kollialis Collection, younger artists interact with significant names. Works from different periods and styles make up a surprising
interesting, anarchic set. As the curatorial intention is to underline the
characteristic of the collection, a deliberate accumulation, like an art collage, was adopted. The
the result is an open exhibition, which prompts the viewer to rely solely on
own recruitment and assessment capacity. An exhibition that aspires to act as
field of observation, free associations, meaning and interpretation of visuals
stimuli.

‘’Writing and Reading’’ is the title of a series of group exhibitions held at the "Tatiana Dimou" cultural space with the aim of bringing out the origins of the contemporary visual language more clearly.
In the exhibition "Writing and Reading III" the participants are: Panagiotis Vorrias, Elias Kafouros, Nikos Moschos, Elpida Panonidou and Kostas Pappas.
The five artists co-exist together for the first time, having as a cohesive element the presentation of occasionally imaginary landscapes and worlds, the sense of doubt, through visual phenomena, about what is real and what is imaginary. All of this puts the viewer in a permanent process of interaction and search for a personal perception of the images he receives.
The show is curated by Kleomenis Kostopoulos
