Saturday, Sunday: 10:00-15:00
From 8 to 25 of February, the City of Athens Arts Center will host the group art exhibition “The Condition of (Im)-Possibility: The Invaders”, which is supported by the City of Athens Culture, Sports and Youth Organization (OPANDA), curated by art historian and independent curator Dr. Eva Kekou.
The exhibition deals with the condition of infinite probabilities in an initially mathematical context, within which there are infinite new possibilities. It is a fact that the changes brought about by the events of recent years (pandemic COVID-19, military conflicts, natural disasters and climate change) have altered and sometimes intensified political, economic and social relations, giving them a new dimension. The theme of the exhibition is any new condition, event or incident that invades or can potentially invade our lives. A situation/context that is in progress and is unknown whether it will have an overall positive or negative connotation. Taking the nature of the transition that our time and our society is going through and the inability to define itself as a given, the exhibition aims to reflect and explore the nature of these changes and how they are perceived.
The exhibition features renowned artists such as: Chloe Akrithaki, Angelos Antonopoulos, Augustos Veinoglou, George Drivas, Peggy Kliafa, Christina Mitrentse, Panos Papadopoulos, Diamantis Sotiropoulos, Tolis Tatolas, Panos Charalambous, Thalia Chioti.
