The Living Art Museum presents Navigating, a group exhibition of works by artists Despina Charitonidi, Jo Pawlowska in collaboration with Sasa Lubinska, Kosmas Nikolaou, and JZoe Hatziyannaki curated by Eleni Tsopotou / Stoa 42. Navigating examines the ways humans communicate and explore—or fail to explore—connections within ourselves, our bodies, with human and non-human entities across physical and digital worlds, diverse geographies, and national boundaries. These ideas respond to and are defined by this critical moment of ecological crisis, in which humans have become geological agents, altering the earth’s physical processes, a time of climate change and chaos, late capitalism, conflicts, global pandemics, and extreme urbanization and overtourism.

The bilateral exhibition project HEAD2HEAD connects the two dynamic and ever-expanding visual art scenes of Athens and Reykjavik. The project aspires to connect artists and artist-run venues in both cities, building bridges and networks through an artistic dialogue and exhibition exchange. The driving force of these two art scenes is their artist-run community. Both Athens and Reykjavík foster an astounding amount of artist-run initiatives and exhibition spaces that fuel their dynamic and vibrant art scenes; this distinct culture is not typical in a global context and deserves to be celebrated. Thus, the independent platform of A-DASH (GR) is teaming up with the 21-year-old artist-run exhibition space Kling&Bang (ICE) to connect the two artist-run scenes and create this bilateral-exhibition project, connecting and strengthening the relationships between the two cities and their art scenes.
