CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
Tuesday-Saturday: 11:00-18:00
ARCH and Melas Martinos are thrilled to announce the opening of 'Windows', an exhibition of artist Rosalind Nashashibi in two parts.
Rosalind Nashashibi is a painter and filmmaker based in London, from Palestinian and Northern Irish heritage. In both media she is preoccupied with looking, to the extent of passing over onto the side of the subject in a way that can be disconcerting and yet deeply empathetic. Her films are often non-linear, punctuated by manifestations of power dynamics and collective histories. In her painting, familiar signs such as a pair of swans or a canvas divided by a cross or X, intrigue us into looking at them anew, and her references to the artists of late 19th century Paris are dives into the past to bring back unexpectedly new experiences.
Opening: 17 September, 18:00 - 21:00
Duration: 17 September - 25 October
The exhibition will open and run simultaneously across both spaces.
