The exhibition title highlights the obscured perspective of reality caused by the constant state of flux we are experiencing in our society now. ECLIPSE engages the social, political and spiritual changes of todays global construct and in Athens itself, as a rising metropolis located at the intersection of Europe, Asia and Africa both physically and historically. An eclipse is a phenomenon of filtering and shrouding as well as a cosmic event. The experience of the eclipse functions as a catalyst for reprocessing an unresolved past that can inform an unspoken present and ultimately shape our future. Thus, Athens serves as the appropriate vantage point for contemplating the nuances of time and space. Furthermore, examining the questions is the west in decline or in a moment of significant transformation?ECLIPSE seeks to assess the implications of identity, history, and cultural complexity. The 7th Athens Biennale offers an arena to interrogate many of the ideas, queries, concerns, and desires that are frequently not platformed within a Biennial format. In an effort to activate a dynamic cross-cultural discourse, ECLIPSE will highlight the works of artists from the African Diaspora in addition to other artistic voices that have historically been pushed to the periphery. This engagement will be articulated through the use of a Black Lens as one of the frameworks. This approach seeks to engage the varying perspectives and artistic practices percolating within the African diaspora. This dialogue will be situated alongside a complimentary framework of artistic interventions that use dynamic manifestations to compose unique practical narratives. Their aim is to strategically address the viewers imagination of potential parallel worlds and futures. Composing a set of spaces that platform ideas such as radical care, interspecies friendship and sonic viewing strategies, ECLIPSE presents a translocal chapter of contemporary thought on how to co-exist within a world differently.Defying the prevalent politics of historical narratives, ECLIPSE proposes to challenge oppressive mechanisms and outdated idealism. By deploying various immersive techniques such as real game play, radical gossip, persuasive realities, emotional hypnosis, bodying, synthesis, and visualization, ECLIPSE activates narrative fabrication and orchestrates an experiential shift in art viewing opening an alternative future for contemplation. EXHIB: \PORTALS\ (31-12-2021 10:00 pm) �he emblematic building of the former Public Tobacco Factory opens its doors for the first time to host an international group exhibition, Portals, featuring 59 artists from 27 countries including 15 new site-specific installations commissioned by NEON.Among them, 18 Greek artists are exhibiting new works or works whose framework of creation and presentation have been renewed to make them site-relevant.With this years commemoration of the Greek War of Independence and continuing to live through the pandemic, Portals aspires to give rise to new messages, ideas, and reflections regarding contemporary artistic creation, through the prism of a newly-formed reality composed of change and disruption.The exhibition takes place in all renovated areas of the building: the atrium, corridors, halls and mezzanines, bathrooms, the former Customs Office, the surrounding area, on the roof / faade of the building and on Kolonos Hill.The inspiration for the exhibition originates from an article by author Arundhati Roy on the Financial Times on April 2020 which states that the pandemic is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. Considering that the rift created by the pandemic on an individual and collective level opens a portal, it is up to us to deal with our transition through it. We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world.The exhibition represents a pluralism of ideas and touches upon issues related to collectivity, cultural understanding of history and politics, public space, and our common past, present and future.

The overwhelming majority appear for the first time outside of the museums of their provenance. They meet and mingle in the Museum of Cycladic Art, so as to give an integrated picture of the ideal of Kallos, inadequately translated into English as Beauty.The selected exhibits date mainly from the seventh to the first century BC that is, from the Archaic to the Hellenistic period and are complemented by a handful of works of Roman times in those cases where the original creations of earlier periods have survived only in copies.Kallos is an ideal, developed in ancient Greek thinking and was expressed through the verses of the epic (8th century BC) and lyric (7th 6th century BC) poets, initially as outward beauty. From the sixth century BC onwards, the concept was crystallized gradually through the texts of the philosophers, who referred to Kallos as a combination of physical appearance and virtues of the soul. It is on this dimension of Kallos that the exhibition of the Museum of Cycladic Art concentrates, enhancing the contribution of ancient Greece to defining the notion of beauty that prevails to this day.In this exhibition, Kallos is conveyed through a vast wealth and variety of antiquities, such as statues, vases, sherds (broken ceramics), mirrors, jewellery, perfume vases, accessories of the toilette and beautification (cosmetic unguents, pigments, and so on), objects of clay, stone metal and terracottas of various periods, mainly Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic figurines, tools for styling the hair, such as iron scissors, little combs, and so on.The geographical provenance of the objects was selected on the basis of specific criteria: the exhibits come from all over mainland and island Greece, so as to emphasize the participation of most of the cities of Greek Antiquity and the diffusion of the concept of Kallos to all sectors of society. The exhibition also hosts a corresponding number of antiquities from Magna Graecia, enabling the visitor to comprehend the phenomenon of the dispersion of the notion of Kallos also to the Greek colonies in the West.The exhibition also includes artifacts from the Vatican Museum, the Archaeological Museums of Florence, Naples, Rome, Bologna, Venice, Syracuse, Catania and the National Archaeological Park of Ostia. From the initial selection of six hundred pieces, three hundred were chosen, as the museological study demanded those that best strengthened each section, in order to make them most intelligible to the public.An exhibition which highlights the concept of 'kallos', or beauty combined with virtues of the soul in ancient Greek, is opening at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens on Wednesday.Exploring ancient Greece's contribution to the definitions and the meaning of 'kallos' throughout history, the exhibition features 300 unique archaeological items from museums, ephorates of antiquities and collections in Greece, Italy and the Vatican. Most of these items will be shown outside of their permanent collections for the first time, it was noted in an official announcement.The exhibition is structured in two major sections, Beautification and Beauty, which then include ten sub-sections that present specific aspects of beauty: Archaic and Classical beauty, beauty of divine entities and gods, the beauty of mortals, athletic beauty, heroic beauty, even demonic beauty and also cosmetic beautification, among others. The word 'kallos' in ancient Greek referred to both males and females.This is the first time that an exhibition is being held not for the notion of beauty, but for the concept of kallos, pointed out at a press conference held on Monday professor Nikolaos Stambolidis, who curated the show before being appointed Acropolis Museum director. Today, beauty only refers to physical beauty of the face or the body, or both, while aspects of 'kallos' mentioned in the Homeric epics are seen very rarely in the modern Greek language, he added.Kallos runs through to January 16th, 2022 and it is funded by L'Oreal Group.OPENING HOURS:Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday: 10:00-17:00, Thursday: 10:00-20:00, Sunday: 11:00-17:00, Tuesday: Closed.Venue:Neophytou Douka 4, 10674 Athens USEFUL INFORMATION Banks / ATM
