The Hellenic American Union and Hellenic American College (HAEC), in cooperation with Hellenic American University (Manchester, NH, USA) present a visual arts exhibition curated by Hara Piperidou.

In regards to the art, the semantic, political and aesthetic load that the prefix “co” bears, is located predominantly within the project itself. Structured in a dialectical moment, it is the element that manages to give birth to new contours and meanings. The “birth of coexistence” implies that artistic creation does not simply produce an object: it created identities, relationships and reflections, strings that derive from a chore to connect the objects that surround it with new forms of attraction or repulsion, reconciliation or violence.

Participating artists: Ameladiotis Dimitris, Charalambidis Nikos, Dimitropoulou Martha, Douka Anastasia, Kanarelis Nikos, Kafouros Elias, Papailiakis Ilias, Piperidou Hara, Sachini Nana, Tserionis Giorgos, Velonis Kostis, Tsitsopoulos Filippos.

The exhibition will open its doors on January 18th at the Hellenic American Union on 22, Massalias street in central Athens and it will last until February 10th. Admission is free.

Gallery Hours
Monday-Friday: 12:00-21:00, Saturday: 10:30-14:30, closed on Sunday
