Maria Gvardeitseva: Relics of a Woman
Relics of a Woman traces the body at the threshold where experience takes form. The sacred is not given but produced through contact — through pain, desire, intimacy, and rupture. Working with wax, porcelain, and video, Maria Gvardeitseva develops a sensorial language of transformation, in which materials shift, dissolve, and retain the imprint of lived experience. These works do not represent the body; they persist as its residues and afterimages
Wax votive figures, rooted in Mediterranean traditions, re-emerge as contemporary relics — fragile and charged with memory. Sculptural signs form a restrained, almost coded field of emotional expression.
The body remembers — and the exhibition, together with the artist’s performance, addresses the viewer as a corporeal presence. In an era of distracted attention, embodied encounter restores the conditions for perception.

COMFORTIUM
Comfortium is an immersive exhibition exploring comfort as a sensory, emotional, and political condition. It imagines a speculative environment, part laboratory, part refuge, where sensation itself becomes the primary material.
Through installations that manipulate texture, temperature, color, sound, and spatial pressure, the exhibition reveals comfort as unstable and constructed. Soothing elements coexist with moments of tension, exposing how contemporary life increasingly designs environments to regulate feeling, behavior, and desire.
Each artwork functions as a self-contained climate: intimate, immersive, and deeply physical. The visitor’s body becomes an active participant, navigating pleasure, unease, and familiarity in equal measure. Comfortium invites audiences not only to experience comfort, but to question it—and to collect works that materialize this fragile balance between care, control, and seduction.

RESTRICTED USE
A group exhibition with Valentina Bartolini, Georgia Christou, Evi Kalogiropoulou, Michalis Papamichael
Curated by Sylvia Sachini
Set within the former furniture factory Comfortium, Restricted Use takes its title from two missing letters—“R” and “U”—suggesting multiple readings: restricted use, return/undo, rest/use. This absence becomes a starting point to consider what remains of a space once its original function is withdrawn.
Through sculpture, painting, and drawing, the exhibition explores inhabitation as a shifting and negotiated condition. Michalis Papamichael presents sculptural imprints of architectural elements, activating the building’s material memory. Evi Kalogiropoulou works with fragmented marble forms, drawing from feminist readings of mythology to question representations of the female body. Georgia Christou’s paintings bring together fragments of domestic and public space through intuitive gestures rooted in memory and everyday life. Valentina Bartolini’s intricate drawings approach the body as an interior, transformative landscape.
Across the exhibition, presence is provisional and often unstable. Gestures of belonging are tested and unsettled, suggesting that “home” is not fixed, but continuously shaped, occupied, and undone.

Phanos Kyriacou: INTERIOR
Pylon Arts & Culture presents INTERIOR, a solo exhibition by Phanos Kyriacou. The exhibition brings together a new body of work unfolding as a dispersed yet rigorously composed environment, where a multiplicity of materialities, functionalities, and dimensionalities coalesce into a subtle system of meaning. Wood, metal, rubber, glass, and industrial fragments - elements once embedded in everyday use - are dislocated from their utilitarian frameworks and repositioned within a spatial grammar the artist has refined over recent years. Through this performative meditation on sculptural form, the exhibition becomes an exercise in attention, where observation stretches into duration and the interior unfolds as a condition - reconstituting our structures of perception. Curated by Akis Kokkinos.

In Search of the Man with Green Earth: Painting, Pigment, and Geological Memory in Cyprus
Amanda Millet-Sorsa presents research from her Limassol residency (April–May 2026), exploring a unique green earth pigment found in Cyprus in the West Highlands near Nicosia, which is composed of the mineral glauconite. Through painting and field inquiry, she considers this pigment both a material and a carrier of ecological and cultural memory. A myth emerges as she searches for the pigment and imagines its caretakers.
The talk reflects an ongoing search for geological and historical knowledge, connecting local mineral histories with their use in Mediterranean art and contemporary pigment practices, and inviting dialogue on how such material histories can be reactivated today.

The Edit Gallery
The Greatest Nation Ever
The Edit Gallery presents The Greatest Nation Ever, the first solo exhibition by Yeti.
The title operates as a double gesture, echoing the language of power while turning inward toward human imagination—unstable, surreal, and ungovernable. Here, the “nation” emerges not as territory, but as a constructed mental space.
Working intuitively and drawing on reverse perspective from Byzantine iconography, Yeti creates layered compositions where multiple viewpoints coexist. Figures, animals, and natural elements move between symbolic and lived realities, drawing from mythology, history, science, and religion.
A subtle satirical tone runs throughout the works, which remain open-ended, circling ideas of power, existence, and the quiet presence of death.

Lines That Do Not Hold
A line suggests order—it separates, contains, defines. It marks beginnings and ends, producing the illusion of structure. Lines That Do Not Hold begins where this structure falters. Across painting, photography, installation, and moving image, the artists approach the line as unstable and permeable, shaped by memory and embodiment.
Alix Marie anchors the exhibition in the body, constructing a ritualistic language around fertility and protection. Maryam Khastoo shifts this inquiry into the image, exploring displacement and interior rupture. Natalia Papadopoulou extends it into space, creating immersive environments that unsettle orientation. Kyveli Zoi gathers these tensions into oneiric scenes where bodies and landscapes merge.
Group exhibition with Alix Marie, Kyveli Zoi, Maryam Khastoo, Natalia Papadopoulou.

Alexandria Coe: Figures in Suspension: Unbinding the Body
125 Space is proud to present Figures in Suspension: Unbinding the Body, a solo exhibition by internationally-renowned artist Alexandria Coe. The show assembles a compelling corpus of drawings and paintings that interrogate the human figure as a liminal zone; caught between observation and abstraction, presence and withdrawal.
Rooted in rigorous life-drawing practice, Coe distils the body to its elemental constituents of line, mass, and gesture. Through disciplined acts of restraint and omission, she allows form
to surface organically, yielding figures that linger in a state of poised ambiguity. These silhouettes appear softened, unresolved, and suspended within an indeterminate spatial and psychological field.

La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc
PSI Foundation presents an outdoor screening of La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc (1928) by Carl Theodor Dreyer, projected onto the building’s seafront façade. Recognised as a landmark of early cinema, the film is distinguished by its radical use of close-up and its profound psychological depth. Accompanied live on piano by Eric Simonyan, the event revisits the historical moment when silent films were experienced through live musical performance, one of the earliest forms of moving image and sound in dialogue. In this context, the work resonates with Bill Viola: Unspoken, reflecting on perception, emotion, and temporality. Positioned between cinema and performance, the screening also establishes a connection with the programme of the VIMA Art Fair, extending the exhibition into public space.

Fluid Persistence
Join a guided tour of Fluid Persistence led by NiMAC Director Dr. Elena Stylianou, offering unique insight into the exhibition’s themes and curatorial approach. Exploring water as both an ecological force and a geopolitical agent, the exhibition brings together nineteen artists whose works connect local histories, landscapes, and colonial infrastructures with broader environmental concerns.
Through research-driven practices, experimentation, and layered storytelling, the artists illuminate how water shapes memory, identity, and territory. The tour invites visitors to engage with fluidity not only as a subject but also as a method—highlighting shifting boundaries, interconnected systems, and the enduring presence of water in cultural and environmental narratives.

Clare Burnett: The Objects are Watching
Art Seen is pleased to announce The Objects are Watching a new solo exhibition by London artist, Clare Burnett. With an emphasis on colour, it features sculptures, clay works, textiles and works on paper which explore the movement of objects across borders, and how their meaning and value shifts over time.
The work is inspired by the Cypriot terracottas taken from the island and the rich tapestry woven by their journeys through Europe and by everyday plastics that travel across the globe today. Using natural and manmade materials collected in Cyprus, the artist makes connections between historic patterns of acquisition and today’s consumer culture.

Christoforos Savva: Simple – Complicated – Invisible: An Unknown Archive
Presented for the first time, this recently discovered and previously unknown archive of Christoforos Savva archive of Christoforos Savva (1924 – 1968) – a pioneer of Moden Cypriot art – includes artworks, sketches, photographs, studies, and personal notes, shedding a new light on his creative process.
The archive’s discovery is as extraordinary as its content. In 2020, Eleni Nikita, the first curator of the Cyprus Collection of the A. G. Leventis Gallery, was introduced by collector Charalambos Sergiou to a portfolio entrusted to him by a Turkish Cypriot friend – a gesture of reconciliation and remembrance. What seemed a small gift proved to be part of a vast and invaluable archive, dating 1946 – 1968 – a testament to enduring friendships and transcended political divided.
Through this exhibition visitors are invited to explore the ‘simple’, the ‘complex’, and the ‘invisible’ dimensions of Savva’s art and rediscover a visionary who shaped Cypriot modernism.

Between Imagination and Hope
The exhibition Between Imagination and Hope addresses the urgency and possibilities of collaboration and connection in an increasingly fragmented world. It explores the potential of gestures of solidarity in relation to resilience and the healing of trauma. Through drawings, textile works, and objects, the artists Nurtane Karagil, Mariandrie, and Sophie Utikal develop perspectives that speak of fragmentation, alienation, and vulnerability, at times subtle and sensuous, at others direct or even humorous, while also addressing care, attentiveness, and solidarity. In doing so, they create spaces that allow for contradictions and differences, that empower, and at the same time open up other forms of storytelling. A programme with artist talk, workshop, film evenings, and exhibition tours accompanies it. Between Imagination and Hope is curated by Katharina Koch.

Claude Como: SUPERNATURE
SUPERNATURE is a project by French artist Claude Como, presenting large-scale tufted wool tapestries composed of free-form shapes derived from vegetal motifs and expanded to a scale of up to three metres. As modular elements, they form adaptable vegetal walls that respond to and inhabit space.
Presented within a residential art gallery, the works are embedded into the setting of a traditional Cypriot villa and its living garden, creating a dialogue between the constructed and the organic. The installation unfolds as an immersive, polymorphic environment—tactile and spatial—inviting the viewer to enter, dwell, and experience a sublimated nature suspended between the artificial and the real.
