Panos Charalambous presents his new performance, ‘RAST LUNA SOL’, in Giswil, Switzerland, as part of the Translocal Performance Art Festival 2026 (September 13-14, 2026), a performance art festival held since 1998.

This year’s Translocal Festival theme is the moon, specifically its dual name in Greek: ‘selene’ refers to the moon as a visible celestial body, while ‘fengari’ describes its glow as a surface that reflects the sun’s light. Entitled ‘From Moon to Moon’, the 25th edition of Translocal Performance Art focuses on what unfolds between the body and projection in performance, as well as on what may remain hidden from the naked eye.

The performance ‘RAST LUNA SOL’ forms part of Panos Charalambous’s ongoing research into communities and expressions of folk culture in the Balkan and Mediterranean regions, with an emphasis on ritual and celebratory practices such as food, singing, dancing and funeral rites.

Myrto Xanthopoulou presents her solo exhibition ‘eternal fan’ at the MOMus – Alex Mylona Museum in Athens, from 10 September to 25 October 2026. The exhibition is part of the Art Athina 2025 Young Artist Award, with which the artist was honoured.

Language as an expressive medium and tool lies at the heart of the artist’s explorations and experimentation. Myrto Xanthopoulou assembles an idiosyncratic archive of words and expressions, improvised poems and fragmentary sentences that evoke imagined everyday dialogues or elliptical inner monologues, while she is equally fascinated by semantic misunderstandings, puns and linguistic play.

At the same time, she systematically collects all kinds of consumable and construction materials, different types of paper, which she works on using adhesives, acrylics and spray paint, as well as disposable objects from the city, her home and her studio. These used materials—the discarded remnants of everyday life—become, alongside language, the primary “materials” of her compositions. Her compositions emerge through a laborious and time-consuming process that always requires her direct physical engagement.

Drawings, installations and constructions, of medium and large scale, come together to form a narrative within a unified visual environment. The works are almost precariously unsupported, and therein lies their strength: in the need to stand, even within a condition of instability and uncertainty.

The exhibition is presented as part of the programming partnership between the Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki (MOMus), the Panhellenic Association of Art Galleries, and Art Athina for the Young Artist Award, with the aim of supporting and promoting the work of emerging contemporary artists.

The exhibition is accompanied by a bilingual catalogue, supported by Art Athina.

CITRONNE Gallery presents at Booth A8 at the international VIMA Art Fair in Limassol works by Stephen Antonakos, Yannis Adamakos, Aphrodite Liti, Myrto Xanthopoulou, and Pantelis Chandris. Conceived as a dialogue between different generations and distinct artistic approaches, the presentation brings into focus key aspects of contemporary art.

Stephen Antonakos developed a body of work of defining importance to postwar American abstraction, in which light, geometry, and colour cohere into a visual language of remarkable clarity and spirituality.

Yannis Adamakos, in his work, bridges the threshold between the visible world and the subconscious perception of reality, where light and darkness, nature and imagination dissolve into colour.

Pantelis Chandris has developed a sculptural practice of psychological and symbolic density, in which matter is transformed into forms that are fragile, suggestive, and sensuous.

Aphrodite Liti presents sculptures in which organic forms assume monumental scale, luminosity, and a commanding spatial presence.

Myrto Xanthopoulou articulates an artistic approach in which language, the fragility of materials, and bodily presence condense into works of distinctive poetic and performative intensity.

Inaugurated in Limassol in 2025, VIMA Art Fair has already established itself as an important new platform for contemporary art in Cyprus and the wider Eastern Mediterranean. International in outlook and committed to fostering connections between regional and international art networks, the 2026 edition brings together 150 artists, 30 galleries, and participants from more than 20 countries, further strengthening its role as a meeting point for galleries, curators, collectors, and the public.

The B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation announces ‘Stephen Antonakos: Vectors of Time and Space’, a landmark exhibition (March, 18 – July 31, 2026) celebrating the legacy of the late Greek-American artist Stephen Antonakos (1926–2013). Opening on 18 March 2026 and running through 31 July 2026, the exhibition celebrates the centennial of Antonakos’ birth in Laconia, Greece, offering a sweeping view of the artist’s prolific career and influence, and mapping the network of artistic movements and sensibilities that defines his legacy. ‘Stephen Antonakos: Vectors of Time and Space’ has been curated by New York-based curator, educator, and writer Sara Reisman.

‘Vectors of Time and Space’ traces Antonakos’ boundless vision through six decades of creative output, foregrounding the artist’s evolving language of colour, form, and luminous abstraction. The exhibition is anchored by key series from the late 1950s, up to his most recently completed work from 2012, including Neon Panels (1980–2013), Direct Neons (1970s), Packages (1971–2006), Neon Walls (1977–2007), Alphavitos (1986–1990), Travel Collages (1987–2002), architectural models of Chapels (1992–2010), and Gold Works (2010–2013), alongside some of the artist’s more intimate sculptural works from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, that incorporate fabric, cardboard, and other common materials.

Alongside Antonakos’ own works, the exhibition brings together artworks by a selection of historically important and leading contemporary artists. A number were friends of the artist, while others were aesthetically aligned. All of them intersected with Antonakos’ arc, highlighting the enduring resonance of his ideas in the 21st Century.

Featured in the exhibition are works by Francis Alÿs (1959–), Yiannis Bouteas (1941–2026), Christo (1935–2020), Chryssa (1933–2013), Ksenia Ender (1895–1955), Lucio Fontana (1899–1968), Ray Johnson (1927–1995), On Kawara (1932–2014), Kazimir Malevich (1879–1935), Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–1978), Robert Ryman (1930–2019), and Fred Sandback (1943–2003), situating Antonakos in conversation with artists who were engaged with Constructivism, Light and Space, Conceptual Art, Minimalism, and other forms of geometric exploration.

The publication 'What is an Art Book? Vol. 4' will be launched in Munich on February 25th, 2026, at Gallerie J.J.Heckenhauer, and in London on March 31st, 2026, at the artist-led space Studio 1.1.

The project 'What is an Art Book?' was initiated in 2011 by the artist-led contemporary art project ‘The Modern Language Experiment’ in response to Artist Book Weekend at Whitechapel Gallery. Since then, further editions have followed in London and New York, with distribution across a wide network of institutions.

This fourth edition once again asks the deceptively simple question, 'What is an art book?', inviting artists, makers, curators, and academics from Munich, London, and beyond to respond within the shared format of A4 black and white pages, reflecting on the evolving landscape of art-making and publishing.

In the foreword to the volume, Hubert Kretschmer—artist, curator, and founder of AAP Archive Artist Publications in Munich— examines whether this publication positions itself as an artists’ book, an art book, or both.

The volume is published by icon Verlag.

The group exhibition 'Women’s Matters', organized by the Municipality of Larissa at the Municipal Art Gallery - G.I. Katsigras Museum, curated by art historian Bia Papadopoulou, will open to the public on February 21, 2026. Thirty-three Greek women artists from various places, epochs and generations, using different expressive media, compose an artistic anthropological narrative around the social role and the position of women.

Participating artists: Artemis Alcalay, Εleni Boukouri-Altamoura, Annita Argiroiliopoulou, Ria Dama Katerina Diakomi, Eleni Exarchou, Mary Zygouri, Demi Kaia, Thaleia Flora-Karavia, Katerina Katsifaraki, Sofia Laskaridou, Georgia Lale, Despina Meimaroglou, Katerina Mertzani, Jeny Bampali, Lina Bebi, Emilia Bouriti, Anita Xanthou, Leda Papaconstantinou, Nina Papaconstantinou, Margarita Petrova, Makrina Prousali, Christina Mitrentse, Aspa Stassinopoulou, Eliza Soroga, Fani Sofologi|Slobodanka Stupar, Eleni Tzirtzilaki, Kleopatra Tsali, Rena Tsitota, Efi Fouriki, Maria Adromachi Chatzinikolaou, Thalia Chioti

The works by the first three women artists of the newly founded Greek state form the exhibition’s starting point: Eleni Boukouri-Altamoura, Thaleia Flora-Karavia, and Sofia Laskaridou. With their bold, non-conventional conduct, their passion and devotion to art, they opened the path to other female artists in a variety of ways. They enhance the exhibition with a historical background while their oeuvre and lives harmonically intertwine with the show’s conceptual rationale. A dialogue is, thus, established between the past and the present.

'Women’s Matters' is an enlarged evolution of the homonymous exhibition that took place at the Municipal Art Gallery of Athens in 2024, in which seventeen living artists from different generations participated. The project was conceived especially for the Municipal Art Gallery - G.I. Katsigras Museum in relation to its architectural space.
