SUMMARY:Ecological Translation
DESCRIPTION:The Goethe-Institut Athen presents the exhibition Ecological Translation\, a bold exploration of our relationship with the natural world. \n\nWhat if technology allowed us to speak directly with animals and plants? \n\nDrawing on emerging legal frameworks that recognise rights for rivers and ecosystems\, the exhibition examines the use of artificial intelligence and remote sensing as a potential “Google Translate” between humans and the environment. Through the work of an international group of artist visitors are invited to reflect on whether we can truly translate the radical otherness of beings such as bats or whales. The exhibition\, which opened on 28 April\, forms part of a broader interdisciplinary symposium that seeks to highlight both the opportunities and the risks of new scientific approaches reminding us that the complexity of the climate crisis demands a new\, shared language of communication with the planet.\n\nArtists:\nKyriaki Goni\nAbelardo Gil-Fournier\nNona Inescu\nAgata Ingarden\nBill Kouligas\nRaffaela Naldi Rossano\nZoë Paul\nJenna Sutela\n\nExhibition duration: 1–30 May.\n\nOpening hours: Monday–Thursday: 08:00–22:00\, Friday: 08:00–17:00 & Saturday: 08:00–14:30 (23 May: closed).

SUMMARY:Nikolas Klironomos: A Retrospective (1985–2025)
DESCRIPTION:This major retrospective is a brilliant place to start looking into the work of Nikolas Klironomos\, an artist who has spent decades masterfully blurring the lines between fine art and set design.\n\nKlironomos doesn’t just paint; he “directs” his canvases. Think of him as a visual filmmaker who takes the raw\, chaotic energy of Athens\, our streets\, our faces\, our light\, and filters it through a lens of memory and emotion.\n\nIn this exhibition\, the mundane meets the dreamlike. You’ll see the changing seasons of the city tangled up with those small\, quirky moments that make life in Athens so unique. By playing with vibrant palettes and some rather unusual materials\, he creates scenes that feel like they’re in constant motion. It’s a bit like catching a glimpse of Athens from a moving Vespa—everything is fluid\, poetic\, and strangely alive.\n\nThis exhibition is designed to speak directly to your heart and your memory. What’s truly clever is how Klironomos takes “the bits and bobs” of life\, those fragmented\, everyday moments\, and gives them a sense of grandeur and importance. It’s a proper journey into the hidden corners of time and what it actually means to be human.\n\nExhibition duration: 1–30 May\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday–Saturday: 11:00–19:00; Sunday: 10:00–16:00. Closed on Monday.

SUMMARY:Panos Charalambous: COLUMBIA
DESCRIPTION:At CITRONNE Gallery\, Panos Charalambous invites us to step into a “sonic room” that speaks directly to the memory of the city. The journey begins in 2006\, the year the historic Columbia vinyl record factory in Rizoupoli was demolished\, symbolically closing a massive chapter of Greek music history. Columbia was a place where the voices\, songs\, and moments that shaped our collective soundscape were once etched into wax.\n\nCharalambous transforms the gallery into a visceral\, immersive installation. Here\, you are invited to walk across a “sound floor\,” literally treading on the echoes of a memory that refuses to fade. It is a haunting reminder that music doesn’t vanish with the buildings that once housed it; instead\, it survives through emotion\, shared experience\, and our collective imagination.\n\nIn a city that is constantly evolving\, COLUMBIA is a profound meditation on decay\, remembrance\, and our deep-seated need to keep our shared history alive.\n\nExhibition duration: 1–30 May\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 11:00–20:00; Wednesday\, Saturday: 11:00–16:00. Closed on Monday & Sunday.

SUMMARY:Guided Tour at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST)
DESCRIPTION:The This is Athens City Festival is serving up a back-to-back cultural double bill at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST). One booking gets you into two consecutive guided tours\, exploring the legacies of two Greek artists who put their personal seal on modernist art.\n\n17:00 | Jani Christou: Enantiodromia\nCurator Kostis Zouliatis introduces the avant-garde world of Jannis Christou (1926–1970). Conceived as a “living score\,” this exhibition unveils the artist’s archive for the first time. Featuring bespoke sound design and rare materials\, from scores to philosophical texts\, it reveals a “sonic philosopher” who turned ritual and myth into groundbreaking art.\n\n18:00 | Ode to Things: Niki Kanagini (Retrospective)\nThe journey continues with curator Tina Pandi and a fresh look at the work of Niki Kanagini (1933–2008). Inspired by Pablo Neruda\, this retrospective explores the “microcosm” of everyday objects as vessels for memory. From large-scale tapestries to participatory installations\, you’ll discover the gendered experience and visual poetry of one of Greece’s most significant post-war women artists.\n\nMeeting Point: Foyer\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Demosthenes Agrafiotis: "Xαrtιά" [Crossroads & Junctions] 1975–2025
DESCRIPTION:At Art Project Space\, the exhibition “Xαrtιά” [Crossroads & Junctions] 1975–2025 carries both a retrospective and emotional resonance. Originally conceived by Demosthenes Agrafiotis himself for late 2025\, his sudden passing has transformed this presentation into a vital tribute to the expansive work and thought of a true pioneer in Greek experimental art and poetry.\n\nSpanning five decades of creation\, the exhibition invites the public to navigate the “crossroads” where Agrafiotis’s writing\, imagery\, and theoretical enquiries met. It is a rare opportunity to trace the evolution of a mind that saw art as a constant state of transition and experimentation.\n\nAlongside the retrospective\, the exhibition presents his final creation: the artist’s book “Synoda” (Accompaniments)\, released in a limited\, numbered edition of just 40 unique copies. This is more than an exhibition; it is a final\, precious dialogue with an artist who thought of art as a field for experimentation\, deep enquiry\, and a state of constant transition.\n\n\nExhibition duration: 20–30 May\n\nOpening hours: Tuesday 17:00–21:00\, Thursday & Friday 12:00–20:00\, Saturday 11:00–15:00. Closed on Sunday\, Monday & Wednesday.
