Red light - 2024 - galvanised iron, found zinc object, light bulb and electric wiring - 11 x 13 x 6 cm
Land[e]scapes (part II)
Group exhibition, curated by Maria Stathi
Art Seen Contemporary art projects & editions / 29 May - 4 July 2024
At the heart of the exhibition lies the concept of "landscape" as a multifaceted construct, embodying social, cultural, and environmental narratives. “Landscape” serves as a canvas upon which personal, political, and societal attitudes are etched and reflected.
Various elements of landscape—vegetation, expanses of land, bodies of water, rock and mountain formations—manifest in diverse artistic mediums, serving as conduits for exploration into our relationship with nature and the formation of our identity.
Moreover, landscapes not only speak of nature but also bear the imprint of the artists and the cultural and historical contexts in which they were created.
In contested territories or geographical areas that have witnessed conflict, war, colonialism, natural disasters, forced migrations or the effects of climatic change, the cultural and historical contexts are especially relevant in the reimagining of landscape.
In the exhibits on display, the visitor will encounter environmental sensitivities, fascinations with geology, examinations of how war alters land, symbolic journeys to lost homelands, intercontinental travels, childhood memories, edenic utopias, and mythological places. Each of these unique explorations of landscape unveils portals to both real and alternate realms.
Participating artists:
Chris Akordalitis, Panayiotis Andreou, Serena Caulfield, Benjamin Deakin, Marina Genadieva, Andreas Kalli, Kyriakos Kallis, Nicolas Kyrillou, Panayiotis Michael, Vicky Pericleous, Nicos Philippou & Marilena Zackheos, Amy Stephens, Korallia Stergides, Amikam Toren, Vassia A. Vanezi, Shaheer Zazai and Vasilis Zografos.

The night is bright tonight I might stay awake - 2024 - stainless steel pipe, aluminium fiber glass, clear resin, orange pigment paste, light bulb and electric wiring - 40 x 118 x 40 cm
Artist Note:
The setup created in the space exudes an apocalyptic atmosphere and due to the design of the sculpture in combination with the light, it directly refers to the possibility of worlds of non-human agents. At the same time a mysterious narrative unfolds through the apparent staging, creating artificial and imaginary vegetation within a non-space and a non-place, in which materials and forms seek to converge within the same choreography: a dance between the organic and the non-organic.
