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:Fairy Tales in the Square: Susurades
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek.\n\nFairy Tales in Primo – Secondo. A narrative performance of fairy tale duets.\n\nDuets that sprout wings and fly\, that weave stories from threads of dreams\, that lull us to sleep with a sugar-sweet slumber on a pillow of silk.\n\nA red thread ties distant places together and weaves two voices\, telling stories both together and one after the other—stories told\, dreamed\, and sung by the people of the world. These stories are told in conversation\, whispered\, sung\, and even with the gestures of hands\, reminding us that a deep wish to fly can move both heaven and earth.

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:Fairy Tales in the Park: Sussurades
DESCRIPTION:This activity is only available in Greek. \n\nFairy tales in primo – secondo. A narrative performance of fairy tale duets. Duets that spread wings and fly\, that weave tales from threads of dreams\, lulling us into a sugary sleep on a pillow full of wonder. A red thread binds different places together\, weaving two voices that tell stories—sometimes together\, sometimes one after the other—that have been told\, dreamed\, and sung by the people of the world. Stories shared through conversation\, whispers\, songs\, and even gestures\, all coming to remind us that a deep wish to fly can move both heaven and earth.

SUMMARY:A Parade with the Agia Fanfara
DESCRIPTION:Agia Fanfara may be humble\, but they’re also a household name. This 25-piece brass\, woodwind and percussion band has earned a kind of superstar status in Greece—not through showmanship\, but through the fierce devotion of its fans. There’s nothing flashy about them\, and none of its members would ever fit into the typical “celebrity” mould. They’ll be joining the This is Athens City Festival for a full-blown Balkan street party\, starting at Attiki Square and dancing its way to Agios Panteleimonas Square.

SUMMARY:Fairy Tales in the Museum: Sassa Voulgari
DESCRIPTION:Fairy Tales in the Garden: Sasa Voulgari The Tears of the Earth: The Animals that Speak\, the Trees that Ache…\n\nTrees that hide fairies\, magical fruits\, humble ants\, ducks\, lions\, wolves\, storks\, and proud eagles that gratefully return the good deeds done to them\, people who transform into birds\, trees\, and stars… So much and more is hidden in the magic of old fairy tales! From the ends of the earth and from the depths of time\, old legends and cosmogonic myths reveal to us that all creatures of this earth were once siblings. Animals\, Plants\, and Humans\, we are inseparable parts of our vast world\, with our common destiny being the great Journey of Life with all its adventures and all its beauty. Besides\, “Kosmos” (World) in our beautiful language means ornament!\n\nSasa Voulgari\, a pioneer of neo-narration in Greece\, unravels her fairy tales “as if singing them\,” with vocal improvisations and melismas\, and accompanies them with her strange musical instruments from all over the world.\n\nThe narration lasts approximately 60 to 70 minutes. It is suitable for children from 5 to 115 years old!

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
