Dimitris Kontodimos’s work Not to Touch the Earth, Not to See the Sun at the first edition of IONIAN LAB
Dimitris Kontodimos participated as an artist in the first edition of IONIAN LAB, the new artist residency presented by Space52 and Kalogerou on the island of Othoni in July 2026. As part of the residency, he created the work “Not to Touch the Earth, Not to See the Sun.”
The work takes its title from Jim Morrison, who in 1968 borrowed two phrases from the table of contents of James George Frazer’s book The Golden Bough. The phrases came from Chapter LX, titled “Between Heaven and Earth,” and referred to ancient taboos imposed on …More
All of Greece, One Culture | “The Professor’s Testament” at the Mycenae Archaeological Site | August 4 and 5, 2026
The play is based on the short story “The Professor’s Testament” from the collection The End of Our Small Town (1963) by Dimitris Hatzis. The short story incisively highlights how those in power behave in a provincial town in Greece.
In a melancholic yet comical manner, it vividly portrays the conflicting interests, passions, the malice, and the distortion of the mission of the community’s various institutions. The plot begins with the death of Professor Rallidis, a man who sought to fulfill his duties responsibly and serve as a source of inspiration for his students.
In the play, two women …More
Plans are underway to restore the Church of St. Joseph in Loutra, Tinos
The Ministry of Culture is proceeding with the restoration of the Church of St. Joseph in Loutra, Tinos, an important monument to the Catholic presence in the Aegean.
The church’s operation was directly linked to the activities of the educational and cultural institutions that developed in the area under the supervision of the Jesuits and the Ursulines, contributing to the shaping of the religious, educational, and cultural character of Loutra. The church is designated as a modern monument due to its unique architectural and historical value. The monument is a remarkable example of 19th-century ecclesiastical architecture, combining elements …More
Hydra | The marble design studio on.entropy presented its Opuntia collection of sculptural objects
In June, at the Old Carpet Factory in Hydra, the Opuntia and Green Pepe sculptural design collections were presented through a site-specific installation.
Inspired by the prickly pear, the collections explored the relationship between nature, light, and marble through sculptural objects and portable lighting fixtures. With the invitation “Please Do Touch,” the installation encouraged the public to approach marble beyond its conventional perception: rigid yet malleable, austere yet tangible, cold yet luminous.
Set within the historic surroundings of the Old Carpet Factory mansion—known for its collection of rare musical instruments and …More
Piraeus Terminal Station: A walk through history| By Giannis Loukas
The interconnection of Athens with the port of Piraeus was the necessary condition for Athens to play its role as the capital of Greece.
Already from antiquity, Piraeus Street had assumed this key role, maintaining throughout history a central position in the life of Athens. It was always a “lively” street with a lot of traffic, following of course the periods of prosperity and decline of Athens.
After the liberation of Athens from the Ottoman rule, the image of Piraeus Street was that of a rough road connecting the port of Piraeus with Ermou Street. Crossing it, one could …More
Vasiliki Koskiniotou: Dual Solo Exhibition and Tribute Marking the 100th Anniversary of Nikos Karouzos’s Birth in Kythira
Renowned visual artist Vasiliki Koskiniotou is bringing two series of works to the island of Kythira this August, and at the same time invites fellow artists and visitors to the exhibition to engage with the poetry of Nikos Karouzos through participatory activities and events that will be announced during the exhibition on the island. Its first guest is Kythira-born artist Georgia Tsery.
As art historian Konstantinos Th. Spyropoulos notes in the exhibition’s curatorial text:
“When poetic material meets painting, there is always the risk of illustration or mere descriptive representation. In the case of Vasiliki Koskiniotou, however, the fusion …More
