Curated by Philippos Tsagkridis Panagopoulos and Katerina Chatzi, Steve Gianakos' work will be showcased for seven days (February 11 - February 17, 2025) alongside works by artists from different fields and generations at the newly inaugurated Carco Parking.
Carco Parking, just before commencing its operation, is hosting the group art exhibition Ephemeral Party - the first and last exhibition ever to be held in this space. The Ephemeral Party exhibition redefines an everyday public space into an active hub for encounters. Showcasing 19 artists across various media and materials (painting, sculpture, video, installations, performance art), it explores the fleeting nature of life through the lens of dreams, time, and memories. Emblematic works by Giorgos Bouzianis and Yannis Tsarouchis, alongside a poem by Constantine P. Cavafy are brought into dialogue with modern and contemporary artists from both the local and international art scenes.
The exhibition Ephemeral Party originated as an exploration of fundamental questions about art’s potential to integrate into daily life. Set within a parking, it reinterprets a non-traditional venue as an artistic context, reinforcing the idea that art belongs everywhere: it is unrestricted, inclusive, and accessible to all. Spanning three subterranean levels, the space itself becomes an essential part of the exhibition, amplifying its impact. Visitors are invited to wander through the site and discover works that are "hidden" in unexpected corners.
