SUMMARY:Cosmic Dust - New Territories
DESCRIPTION:Τhe historic National Observatory of Athens transforms into a terrain of celestial imagination and earthly matter\, with a bold new exhibition by contemporary artist Lea Petrou. Titled Cosmic Dust / New Territories\, the show presents a series of new site-specific works that inhabit and respond to Greece’s oldest scientific institution\, an anchor of time\, memory\, and observation since 1842.\n\nCurated and textually framed by Kostas Prapoglou\, the exhibition draws inspiration from 19th-century German astronomer Johann Friedrich Julius Schmidt\, whose intricate lunar mappings and scientific pursuits form the basis for Petrou’s radical reinterpretation. Using materials such as ceramic\, cotton thread\, wool\, clay\, titanium\, and marble\, Petrou creates dialogues between past and present\, the human and the planetary\, the analytical and the emotional.\n\nExhibition days and times: Wednesday\, Friday\, Saturday: 19.00 – 22.00
