In the realm where art intersects with environmental consciousness, a dynamic force is at play. Picture this: an electrifying collaboration that melds the creativity of three artists with the forward-thinking ethos of three pioneering companies, all aimed at igniting conversations and catalyzing action. Despina Charitonidi, Antonis Theodoridis, and Kostis Velonis—each offering an individual showcase—unite under the banner of a summer exhibition poised to redefine the boundaries of art and environmental awareness. At the core of this initiative lies the exclusive utilization of materials that effectively capture the environmental zeitgeist of our time. Each artist is strategically paired with a specific company, fostering a symbiotic relationship where creativity and sustainability intertwine.

Σε έναν κόσμο όπου η τέχνη συναντά την περιβαλλοντική συνείδηση, μια νέα δυναμική γεννάται. Φανταστείτε το εξής: μια συνεργασία που συνυφαίνει τη δημιουργικότητα τριών καλλιτεχνών με τη φιλοσοφία τριών πρωτοποριακών εταιρειών. Στόχος η πυροδότηση νέων συζητήσεων και η ενθάρρυνση δράσεων γύρω από τα περιβαλλοντικά ζητήματα. Η Δέσποινα Χαριτωνίδη, ο Αντώνης Θεοδωρίδης και ο Κωστής Βελώνης παρουσιάζουν τις καλλιτεχνικές τους δημιουργίες και συναντιούνται σε μια καλοκαιρινή έκθεση που στοχεύει να επαναπροσδιορίσει τα όρια της τέχνης και της περιβαλλοντικής ευαισθητοποίησης. Στον πυρήνα αυτής της πρωτοβουλίας δεσπόζει η χρήση υλικών, τα οποία απαθανατίζουν ρεαλιστικά το περιβαλλοντικό πνεύμα της εποχής. Η συνεργασία μεταξύ των καλλιτεχνών και της κάθε εταιρείας οδηγεί αναπόφευκτα σε μια συμβιωτική σχέση σταθμό, όπου η δημιουργικότητα και η βιωσιμότητα αλληλοσυνδέονται.

In the frame of Various Others and by invitation of Britta Rettberg, Callirrhoë is thrilled to present a solo exhibition of Nikolas Ventourakis titled "Unlikely Outcomes. A feast for the eyes, it regales us with stories. ". "Unlikely Outcomes" is an ongoing series that intricately blends photographs and videos, showcasing Ventourakis' ability to transcend traditional photography. His practice is inherently archival, capturing the fluid transformation of an image from its initial creation to its eventual perception. This process invites viewers to reflect on how the memory of a photograph morphs over time. Through the exhibition, Ventourakis crafts an introspective universe that unfolds via an emotional and visual methodology. His presentation acts as a performative assemblage, weaving images that evoke a tension between presence and absence, personal relationships, and allegorical narratives. Each photograph interacts with accompanying videos and other images. This interplay can be harmonious or discordant, reflecting the complexity of human experience and encouraging deeper reflection on the shifting nature of memory and perception.
