K-Gold Temporary Gallery presents the exhibition “Go straight until you find the sea” curated by Suzanna Petot with the participation of Elena Aya Bundurakis, Arunà Canevascini, Andi Gáldi Vinkó, Martine Gutierrez, Lucie Khahoutian, and Samira Saidi.

 

The exhibition proposes contemporary alternative narratives around the legacy of Sappho, the lyric poetess from the Greek island of Lesvos. Although only a few fragments of her work survive, her contribution to the Western tradition is extraordinary, especially in reference to notions of love, beauty, mystery, and myth. The invited artists each speak to these themes, highlighting how intimacy, nature, and magic can be seen in the everyday and what these moments reveal about identity, whether personal or collective.

 

Finally, K-Gold Temporary Gallery collaborates with Mediterranea 19 Young Artists Biennale, connecting Lesvos island with the Republic of San Marino. During the opening, selected films will be screened in the Gallery's courtyard, introduced by Nicolas Vamvouklis. The event will be also streamed on the “School of Waters” YouTube channel.
