Description

Demetris Neokleous’ upcoming solo exhibition, Palimpolis, also the title of one of his paintings, invites viewers to take a fresh look at how a city against a city might appear. From vomiting and Tarantinoesque videos, to humbling installations of light tents and sleeping bags where stories and histories unfurl, to impressive spurts of colour on canvas, almost in illustration fashion, the city, utopian and not, a sort of urban anti-polis, is imagined here.

As with Demetris Neokleous’ older work, this work foresees an arbitrariness, which, in a post-neurotic and lethargic Cyprus, can maximize moments of celebrating everydayness. He offers us a kind of utopian landscape free from oppressions and possessions, which we can foster, right now, for our next inhabitants.

Exhibition opens on May 6th at 21:00.

Opening hours: Monday - Friday 9.00-13.00 / 18.00 - 21.00 and during theatre performances.
