ARCH is pleased to announce the launch of a series of presentations at the ARCH Library with Tonight, the trapped sun will become a dream by Petros Moris 

ARCH Library is a new initiative designed to activate the library space at ARCH by showcasing materials that support and inform artistic practice—such as artist books, drawings, printed matter, ephemera, and archival documentation. These presentations offer insight into the broader context and development of an artist's work.

ARCH warmly thanks Michael Anastassiades for designing the vitrines that will host each presentation.
 
Petros Moris will present a selection of documents and artworks in the form of a deconstructed book. This layered narrative involves visual fragments and textual notes by the artist, together with archival material from his parent's mosaic studio. An exploration of the processes of psychological depth, cultural heritage, and urban entropy.

Petros Moris (b. 1986, Lamia) is an artist based in Athens. He has presented solo exhibitions in galleries and art spaces including Radio Athènes (Athens), TAVROS (Athens), Galeria Duarte Sequiera (Braga], Project Native Informant (London), Point Centre for Contemporary Art (Nicosia), Duve Berlin (Berlin), and the Cyprus Embassy (Athens).
