Opening: Thu, - 8 pm MIET - Cultural Foundation of the National Bank of Greece, Thessaloniki Villa Kapantzi, Leof. Vasilissis Olgas 108, Thessaloniki, Greece 29.11.2019 - 26.01.2020 Curated by Sophia Panteliadou The word KAIROS in greek language might refer to natural phenomena (weather), however, it also might refer to temporality (time). The ambiguosity inherent to this word is the main subject of this exhibition.
KAIROS, Recall of earth, is a cross-media exhibition discussing the relationship between humankind and the phenomena of natural events. It addresses to the diversity of possible entanglements between humans and nature.
What is the relationship of an aesthetic experience in everyday life in terms of experiences in art? What is the relationship between art and weather phenomena and the metaphorical language in the arts?
Is “weather” a phenomenon that has the potential to show people their limits? Or does the horizon create unlimited possibilities in art through this medium?
