Art For A Wounded Planet

Larnaka Municipal Art Gallery

Opening: Monday 2 October 2024

Art For a Wounded Planet is an exhibition on the precarious state of contemporary world.

Twelve artists from Cyprus and Europe deal with new and old dangers, such the environmental crisis, the resurface of intolerance and conflict and the rising injustice encountered in many forms. The exhibition is an amalgamation of different artistic practices and media, different generations and backgrounds, all however sharing the need to nurture an alternative culture. New technologies and traditional crafts, video, painting, printing and sound will provide a multiplicity of voices which do not shy away from despair but discern at the same time the cracks where hope can shine through.

Thus, the landscapes of Costas Economou and Danae Patsalou, two artists whose birthdate is separated by 75 years will be shown side by side, the sculptures of Kyriakos Kallis will be juxtaposed with the ash installation of Yioula Hadjigeorgiou, the huge structure with plastic tape of Andreas Savva with the watery blue textile prints of Janis Jefferies, the sound installation of Christoph Brünggel, generated by tiny solar panels with the fragile materials of Evgenia Vasiloude, Andria Zachariou’s soil traces of her family home in Karpasia and Sumer Erek installation of the dead citrus trees of Karavas with the multichannel video installation of Yiannos Economou.
