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

"21! New Greek Painting "is an exhibition about the present of new Greek painting, about its trends, its expressions, its interactions, its future.

The exhibition "21! New Greek Painting "includes 21 painters who open new, exciting and unexpected paths in contemporary Greek art. Without certainties and without explicit conceptions, the exhibition leaves the viewer to create his own paths, to give his own answers and to develop his own emotional relationships with the work and its enjoyment.
