SUMMARY:CONQUISTADORS
DESCRIPTION:Nikos Kyriakopoulos and his conquistadors disembark on Lenorman Street. \n\nDragons and wild beasts\, locals and conquistadors—and even Death himself—battle deep in untrodden jungles. \n\nThe thirty-six works in this exhibition are not intended to serve History or the historical genre of painting. Instead\, the artist draws his material from the mythos surrounding the Age of Discovery\, crafting images that move beyond naturalism\, both in form and content. Created using monotype\, a technique dating back to the 16th century\, the works gain added resonance when paired with the fantastical stories they depict. The adventures of the characters serve as a point of departure—not only for the adventures of line and colour\, but also for reflection on themes such as desire\, fear\, conflict and illusion. \n\nOpening: Thursday 8 May 2025\, 19:30–23:00 \n\nOpening hours: Monday to Friday: 10:00–18:00 Saturday: 11:00–15:00 Closed on Sunday

SUMMARY:Vassilis Papageorgiou - Painting and Sculpture: Lignea Creatura Stans
DESCRIPTION:The worlds of plants\, animals and humans—along with legend\, myth\, imagination and dream—form the basis of Vassilis Papageorgiou’s new artistic exploration. His paradoxical heroes and hand-crafted wooden creatures inhabit both two- and three-dimensional space in a state of perpetual whirling. Through an aesthetic lens\, Papageorgiou reflects on the consequences of humanity’s destructive impact on the natural world. From this meditation\, he generates new values—drawn from the cultural references of nature and tradition—that define the conditions for coexistence. \n\nOpening hours: Monday – Friday: 11:30–14:30 & 17:30–20:30 Saturday: 11:30–15:00

SUMMARY:How to Fit Inside the City
DESCRIPTION:The work of Haris Baskozos is compelling not only for its final forms but also for the sources of inspiration behind them. The artist studied architecture at the National Technical University of Athens and fine arts at the Athens School of Fine Arts. When drawing from his background in architecture\, his work leans toward a rectilinear style that echoes urban planning and evokes a kind of “emotional Mondrian.” In these compositions\, consciousness seems to take the lead. In contrast\, when his fine arts training prevails\, his work shifts towards a freer\, more instinctive expression\, dominated by human-like forms and influenced by art brut\, where the unconscious plays the central role. In both cases\, the final result is not a strict monologue of either approach\, but rather a dialogue—one side mostly leading\, the other echoing through. In this way\, Baskozos offers a fascinating visual argument: the idea of collectivity (the city) tends to be shaped through a more conscious process\, while reflections on individuality (the human being) emerge through the unconscious. \n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 12:00–20:00 Wednesday & Saturday: 12:00–16:00

SUMMARY:Vassilis Karakatsanis: Urban Tools
DESCRIPTION:Vassilis Karakatsanis invites us on a journey through the spectrum of contemporary existence—a complex\, ever-evolving interplay of memories\, collective narratives and social dynamics. His exhibition Urban Tools unfolds as a compelling dialogue between past and present\, the personal and the monumental. Seven large-scale paintings\, accompanied by numerous smaller works—created using acrylic\, oil and gouache on canvas—invite a deep exploration of life in all its textures and tones. At the heart of Karakatsanis’ practice lies a transcendent inner process shaped by memory and materiality. The exhibition title hints at the hidden mechanisms that define a place’s essence: the subtle\, often invisible tools that help us navigate\, define and interpret the environments we inhabit—as well as those that shape and compose our very being. The urban landscape is not only his subject matter; it becomes his medium. Each brushstroke reveals the layered relationship between its singularity and the stories it holds. Symbols of personal and collective identity\, ideology and emotion are interwoven into the fabric of daily life. \n\nOpening night: Thursday 8 May 2025\, 20:00 \n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday & Friday: 12:00–21:00 Saturday: 12:00–15:00 Closed on Monday\, Wednesday and Sunday

SUMMARY:A Day at the Alekos Fassianos Museum
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of International Museum Day\, the Alekos Fassianos Museum offers free admission to the residents and visitors of the city. The exhibition aims to introduce the breadth of Alekos Fassianos’ work\, featuring pieces from 1954 until the end of the artist’s life. \n\nThe exhibition includes early works from the 1960s\, showcasing his abstract style from his early years in Paris\, works influenced by Byzantine art\, collages\, mixed media\, as well as both less-known and widely recognized paintings that capture Fassianos’ distinctive touch. The Myth of His Neighborhood unfolds through works that depict images and experiences from his childhood in Agios Pavlos\, the neighborhood where he grew up\, and his wanderings through Athens. Heroes from his childhood intertwine with figures from Greek mythology\, creating the timeless hero—the human being. Beyond the paintings\, the exhibition also aims to highlight Fassianos’ multifaceted personality by showcasing handmade objects\, furniture\, lighting\, as well as texts he wrote\, books he illustrated\, and a rich archival collection of his involvement in set design and costume design for Aristophanes’ comedies and Eugène Ionesco’s plays. \n\nThe exhibition is displayed within a handcrafted architectural creation by Kyriakos Krokos\, where every detail\, from the door knobs to the cupboard handles\, the nails in the mirrors\, to the frescoes and mosaic floors\, is curated by Fassianos himself. The Alekos Fassianos Museum holds significant importance for the contemporary artistic and architectural map of Athens\, being one of the few museums in the world where the collaboration between the artist and architect fosters a dialogue between the works and the space that houses them.

SUMMARY:How to Fit Inside the City
DESCRIPTION:The work of Haris Baskozos is compelling not only for its final forms but also for the sources of inspiration behind them. The artist studied architecture at the National Technical University of Athens and fine arts at the Athens School of Fine Arts. When drawing from his background in architecture\, his work leans toward a rectilinear style that echoes urban planning and evokes a kind of “emotional Mondrian.” In these compositions\, consciousness seems to take the lead. In contrast\, when his fine arts training prevails\, his work shifts towards a freer\, more instinctive expression\, dominated by human-like forms and influenced by art brut\, where the unconscious plays the central role. In both cases\, the final result is not a strict monologue of either approach\, but rather a dialogue—one side mostly leading\, the other echoing through. In this way\, Baskozos offers a fascinating visual argument: the idea of collectivity (the city) tends to be shaped through a more conscious process\, while reflections on individuality (the human being) emerge through the unconscious. \n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday\, Friday: 12:00–20:00 Wednesday & Saturday: 12:00–16:00

SUMMARY:Vassilis Karakatsanis: Urban Tools
DESCRIPTION:Vassilis Karakatsanis invites us on a journey through the spectrum of contemporary existence—a complex\, ever-evolving interplay of memories\, collective narratives and social dynamics. His exhibition Urban Tools unfolds as a compelling dialogue between past and present\, the personal and the monumental. Seven large-scale paintings\, accompanied by numerous smaller works—created using acrylic\, oil and gouache on canvas—invite a deep exploration of life in all its textures and tones. At the heart of Karakatsanis’ practice lies a transcendent inner process shaped by memory and materiality. The exhibition title hints at the hidden mechanisms that define a place’s essence: the subtle\, often invisible tools that help us navigate\, define and interpret the environments we inhabit—as well as those that shape and compose our very being. The urban landscape is not only his subject matter; it becomes his medium. Each brushstroke reveals the layered relationship between its singularity and the stories it holds. Symbols of personal and collective identity\, ideology and emotion are interwoven into the fabric of daily life. \n\nOpening night: Thursday 8 May 2025\, 20:00 \n\nOpening hours: Tuesday\, Thursday & Friday: 12:00–21:00 Saturday: 12:00–15:00 Closed on Monday\, Wednesday and Sunday
