Sebastian Boulter’s solo exhibition Flow will be presented at the Foundation of  Culture and Education “Andreas Lentakis”, curated by Stratis Pantazis and Vassiliki  Vayenou, and with the support of the Kone Foundation, the Arts Promotion Centre  Finland and the Finnish Cultural Foundation.  

Fascinated with the transformative power of the rivers, as well as their vital role as  natural landmarks, Sebastian Boulter has focused on ancient rivers, canals and tunnels  which run -or used to run- through five archaeological sites in Greece. In an effort to  view the current state of rivers around Greece, their remains, and in some cases feel  their invisible presence, Boulter visited the Eridanos (Kerameikos, Athens), the  Kephissos (Valley of Kephissos, Boeotia), the Alpheios and the Kladeos (Olympia in  Elis), the Inachos (Tiryns in the Argolid) and the Imbrasos (Heraion, Samos). 

In the exhibition Flow, which includes his drawings, paintings, gypsum casts and  essays (2020 – 2024) that serve as a diary/documentation of his wanderings and  search, the viewer witnesses the current condition of these ancient rivers. His works  express his environmental and cultural concerns and ethos by recording the  destructive effects of human abuse on nature and human history and by providing a  visual critique on the intertemporal political neglect and mistreatment of the Greek  rivers. The artist’s written narrations of his experiences during his visits to the  different rivers and their surroundings constitute a complementary testament to his  pictorial depictions, truthfully revealing not only the lack of political responsibility,  but also the sometimes open animosity of people who ignore history and  environmental awareness.
