Cosmism - the artistic movement in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century with ramifications in the scientific, political, literary and artistic world - had at its core the pursuits of immortality for the living, the material resurrection of the dead, travel and ultimately the conquest of space. The principles of Cosmism combining the Western Enlightenment and technology inspired many key Soviet thinkers until they fell victim to Stalinist repression and the movement was largely forgotten. Based on the above foundations, 48 works from the internationally renowned Costakis Collection of MOMus-Museum of Modern Art are exhibited in Shanghai, at the Power Station of Art (PSA), the first public museum of contemporary art in China, in the main exhibition of the 14th Biennale with the general title “Cosmos Cinema”, from November 9, 2023 to March 31, 2024, making another international stop on the journey of this collection.

Along with the works of over 80 international artists, artists from the era of the Russian Avant-Garde - Vasily Chekrygin, Xenia Eder, Maria Eder, Gustav Klutsis, Ivan Kliun, Alexei Krutsonich, Ivan Kudryashov, Kazimir Malevich, Solomon Nikritin, Kliment Redko, Olga Rozanova and Alexander Rodchenko - focus their explorations on the relationship between art and cinema and space exploration, as is the theme of this year's event.

The chief curator of the 14th Shanghai Biennale is Anton Vidokl, while the section with the works of the Costakis Collection is curated by Boris Gross in collaboration with Maria Tsantsanoglou, Director of the MOMus-Museum of Modern Art and Angeliki Charistou, Curator and Head of the Costakis collection, at the same museum.

“A Portrait of Volos”
Dimitris Letsios’ body of work now enjoys a well-deserved position in the story of Greek photography. This exhibition presents an anthology of photographs from his native city, Volos, spanning the broader postwar period. Continuing his interests in the Thessalian rural farmer, here he focuses on the simple subsistence workers, children, the folk market, the landscapes that the Pagasitic Gulf generously offers. Letsios traversed the body of the city in a quest to discover unseen aspects, moments and scenes that were clearly distanced from the official ideological facade, revealing an elliptical yet profoundly human face of Volos.

Archaeological sites seen by drone, Marathon as a place of daily use, which exceeds its historical burden, landscapes disturbed by the anguish of refugees who have crossed or temporarily inhabited them in recent years, the Lassithi plateau covered by the frost of history, image canvases with micro-landscapes of endemic flora, places under the influence of tourism and human residential intervention, landscapes in the aftermath of the fire, landscapes with the dominant element of water, are just some of the elements captured in the photographs of the 19 photographers in the exhibition-production of MOMus - Thessaloniki Museum of Photography entitled "landscape stories".

The exhibition, which is housed at the Municipal Gallery of Chania and will run from April 6 to May 31, 2024, attempts to present contemporary approaches to the Greek landscape, examining its natural and peri-urban version and not its urban one. Emphasis is placed on works from the last two decades, while at the same time attempting to highlight the work of a generation of younger or less established artists in the domestic landscape canon. In this way, both the breadth of the country's photographic scene and the concerns regarding the commonplace landscape, environmental protection, the involvement of the landscape with history and myth, the critical reading of the tourist phenomenon, etc. are revealed.

The Municipal Gallery of Chania has over time implemented creative synergies with museums and cultural institutions, thus confirming its important role as a dynamic center on the cultural map of the country. In this context, the exhibition “landscape stories” is also being hosted, produced by MOMus-Thessaloniki Museum of Photography, which manages to capture characteristic landscapes of the country through modern photographic perspective. Thus, the audience of the Chania Art Gallery and the large photographic community of Crete have the opportunity to interact with a set that highlights not only the artistic value of photography but also the uniqueness of each gaze.

The curator of the exhibition, Hercules Papaioannou, points out the origins of landscape painting and its application in Greece: “Landscape painting emerged as a side project in the background of paintings in the early Renaissance, but as an autonomous subject it was established only in the mid-16th century. In Greece, it appeared in the last quarter of the 19th century and was established, with at least naturalistic fidelity, in the 20th thanks to photography. The 19th century had been preceded by the widespread circulation of the photographic landscape with ruins, which validated the modern Greek ideology of antiquities.

The work of Swiss photographer Fred Boissonnas and Nelly's, dating to the early 20th century and the interwar period respectively, played a key role: immersed in history, folklore, and mythology, it contributed to turning landscape, even devoid of ruins, into a pillar of the official national narrative, along with the aura of the illustrated periodicals of the time, which by then had started publishing amateur landscape photographs. In the post-war period, the island landscape, in both its actual and picture versions, was used as a vehicle to promote mass tourism. They were followed by worthy photographers, who recorded many different aspects of landscape photography in the country.

There are arguably few landscapes that lend themselves so aptly to the study of the relationship between human civilization and nature like the flatland, where the use of increasingly intensive agricultural methods has profoundly changed human civilization.

Vassilis Nempegleriotis' Stories from the Plain (2017-2022) is a collection of photographs focusing on the Thessalian plain, Greece’s second largest granary. The plain has been a source of both prosperity and inequality. Born in a farming family, Nempegleriotis examines here the current state of the Thessalian Plain. Nempegleriotis' photographs tap into the expanse of the land and the absence of pronounced natural features, in order to subtly depict the disturbance of the land, and reveal elements from its modern and social history.

Vasilis Nempegleriotis is a self-taught photographer based in Larissa, Central Greece, using the medium of photography since 2015. He has participated in photography seminars and is a member of Fplus photography group since 2018. His photographs have been featured in group exhibitions (Anthropause 2020 - Momus), international photography festivals (Photometria International Festival 2020, New Borders, Belfast Photo Festival 2021, Thessaloniki Photobiennale 2023) and at the 8th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art 2023.

In the broad context of MOMus's strategy for climate change, but also of the open conversation with people who are multiplely connected to the organization and especially MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art-Collections of the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art and the State Museum of Contemporary Art, a special meeting/exhibition, with one of the most timeless beloved animals of the Greek countryside and essentially Nature itself as the "protagonist", will take place at the "MALI VENI" estate, in Markopoulo, Attica, from July 1 to September 30, 2024.

The exhibition is held with the support of MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art-Collections of the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art and the State Museum of Contemporary Art.

The estate “MALI VENI” - a place name that in Arvanitika means “mountain of beech trees” -, in Markopoulo, Attica, was started in 1984 by Manos Karakostas and is one of the first estates in Greece to turn to organic farming and then to regenerative organic farming.

In the unique environment of this estate, the exhibition “the goat” is taking place, which according to Epaminondas Christofilopoulos, Chairman, Board of Administration of the Metropolitan Organization of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki (MOMus), “started as an imaginative idea, a way to do something different and emphasize the importance of a more ethical attitude towards the environment”.
The exhibition is based on an initiative by Maro Lagia, who in 1984 pioneered the acquisition of the Alexandros Iolas donation to the Macedonian Center for Contemporary Art, laying the foundation for the establishment of the first Museum of Contemporary Art in Greece, in the city of Thessaloniki.

The exhibition entitled "The Goat" aspires, through a series of visual works from different generations, to combine, in an original, inventive and imaginative way, references and symbolisms associated with this specific animal and covering a wide range, in a single visual environment, in an unexpected space, such as that of a warehouse on a large estate in Markopoulo.

The works presented - paintings, sculptures and ceramics, photographs and installations - approach the subject with special sensitivity, are works that are distinguished for their visual qualities, but, at the same time, indirectly raise issues about the "soul" of animals, within the broader context of reexamining their relationship and coexistence with humans.

The curator of the exhibition, Yannis Bolis, notes: "In ancient Greek myth, a goat will nourish the little Zeus with her milk, while the tragic Pan and the Satyrs will dwell in forests and next to riverbanks in a joyful and orgiastic atmosphere of dance, music and unrestrained erotic lust. The goat is one of those animals found all over the planet, an animal that claims a special place in myths and traditions, beliefs and religious rituals, in direct relation to the beginnings of human civilization, the permanent settlements of the Neolithic period, the occupation with agriculture and animal husbandry, survival and food. No other animal has managed to provoke such diametrically opposed attitudes. A symbol of fertility and prosperity, strength, endurance and sexual vitality. And on the other hand, the gloomy dimension, the magic and the diabolical presence, the figure of Satan which, several times, in the Christian world has many of the morphological characteristics of the goat.

Thuli Misirloglou, Artistic Director of MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art-Collections of the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art and the State Museum of Contemporary Art, notes: “the exhibition “the goat” is not an exhibition, nor an action. In my eyes, it is an “exhibition-event”, an exhibition and social performance together, which brings the creative spontaneity of Maros – always so constructive, from the very beginning of the Museum – alongside the creative reflexes of MOMus. The actors are also their people. And in them there are always those who come from the past to the present, who contribute positively, whose thinking is in an open line with their soul, through the prism of art and its freedom, who create emotions and not just rules… an exhibition-meeting in a new and unexpected common place, the place of the meeting of art, nature and joy.”

Artists of the exhibition: George Alexandridis, Annita Argyroeliopoulou, Andriana Verveti, Stratis Vogiatzis, Andreas Vousouras, Apostolos Georgiou, Nikos Giavropoulos, Kornelios Grammenos, Lydia Dambasina, Christoforos Doulgeris, Antigone Kavvatha, Yannis Kastritsis, Diane Katsiaficas, Yannis Kontaratos, Kyriakos Krokos, Tania Latarjet, Alexandros Maganiotis, Thanos Makris, Manolis Babousis, Mania Benisi, Nikolas Bliatkas, Natalia Mela, Alex Mylona, Eleni Mylona, Nurako (Fanouris Moraitis), Kosmas Xenakis, Maria Panagiotou, Antonis Papadopoulos, Ifigenia Sdoukou, Miltos Skouras, George Stathopoulos, Danae Stamatiou, Nikos Tranos, George Tsakiris, George Tserionis, Kostas Tsolis, Alekos Fassianos, Dionysis Christofilogiannis.

The art of weaving unrolls its thread outside Thessaloniki and “knits the tapestry” of the exhibition “Weaving Anew”, following MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki, at the Volos Museum of the City.

The exhibition presents the flourishing and history of Greek tapestry along with paintings and sculptures that either formed the basis of the weaving designs or are in stylistic sequence with them. It also includes a selection of works from the major exhibition “Weavings. Painting and tapestry in Greece from 1960 to the present”, which took place in 2019 at the Benaki Museum (138 Pireos st., Athens) and includes creations using the traditional tapestry technique, displayed alongside original works by great artists.

The woven paintings in the exhibition highlight the timeless dimension of weaving art in Greece and its evolution in techniques and ideas, which transformed a product of domestic decorative use into a work of cultural heritage.

Opening: Wednesday 25 June, 20:00

The creative, artistic dialogue between four visual artists, Fani Boudouroglou, Rania Emmanouilidou, Lia Psoma, and Bilal Yilmaz, is presented in the exhibition “Graceland Paradox: Navigating Uncertainty” at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Skopje, from 25 June to 17 August 2025. Through uncertainty, experimentation and mobilisation, the exhibition urges viewers to reflect on causes, consequences and possibilities. The works draw from science fiction, urban protests and historical revolts to encourage the audience’s reflection on what comes next. The process of searching for possibilities becomes a process of becoming aware of the capitalist impasse and, above all, an exercise in imagination regarding our own contribution and existence in possible dystopian or utopian futures.

The exhibition is organised by the independent art and culture organisation Kontrapunkt as part of the KRIK Festival for Critical Culture, and is supported by MOMus-Experimental Center for the Arts and the Embassy of Greece in North Macedonia.

The three women artists, Boudouroglou, Emmanouilidou and Psoma, began working together during the pandemic, when they decided to use the time of imposed isolation to jointly reflect, experiment and create. A series of works that respond to key contemporary issues such as environmental collapse, forced population movements and the onslaught of technology were presented in 2022-23 in the exhibition “Graceland: The Triumph of an Uncertain Path” as part of the 8th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art of MOMus. At MoCA Skopje, this collaborative project is renewed and expanded with new works by the three artists and the participation of guest artist Bilal Yilmaz from Türkiye.

At the heart of this new exhibition “Graceland Paradox: Navigating Uncertainty” lies the research conducted by the three artists around sustainable techniques and materials —bioplastics, crystals, handmade paper, rhizomes, materials in the phase of transition from raw material to ephemeral artistic medium— as a process of production and reflection. In dialogue with their works, Bilal Yilmaz expands the political and imaginative dimension of the exhibition. Inspired by contemporary protest movements —including recent mobilisations in Greece, North Macedonia and the wider region— the artist focuses on the erosion of democracy and the power of collective action. Through his work, he recalls the spirit of protest and criticises the mechanism of manipulated information. He calls on us to choose the images and actions that motivate us, and to bring them into our daily lives as acts of quiet, radical resistance.

There is a life that silently unfolds underneath the ground; a life that has reconciled with the chaos and the co-existence of the diverse elements that compose the world. This life unfolds in a place that knows – without however being able to prove it – that the Individual is actually the Collective, that the Other complements the One, that the Imaginary is the Real waiting to be confirmed, and that the Real, in return, is the Imaginary experienced through the senses. What is this land, this open space, in which, when heterogeneous elements come together, the possibility of a world hitherto "patiently waiting for the right conditions to emerge" is fertilized? What is this land that can withstand to serve as both a background for a picture that will be revealed, and as the picture itself? What is this Camp (Kampos)?

Stratis Vogiatzis's photography exhibition is made possible with the support of MOMus-Thessaloniki Museum of Photography and Chios Music Festival.

16th Photometria International Photography Festival

Ioannina

In the series of photographs presented by Martin Parr in the exhibition "Self-portraits", he sees his portrait as a reflection of his individual and social identity, in dialogue with personal and collective memory. At the end of the 20th century and the dawn of the 21st, Martin Parr set out, travelling around the the globe on professional international media assignments, being photographed in studios and photobooths in every corner of the world. His form thus gradually took place, physically or digitally, in diverse settings, designed to validate stereotypes or give birth to new ones. For twenty years (1996-2015) Parr surrendered himself, with unruffled style, to the hands of his fellow artists, being the conscious prey of a mechanism of standardised images.
