Greece In USA

With thanks to @mayatsoclis , #HellenicBroadcasting @ertofficial_ , and @ertworldofficial for the incredible honor and for facilitating such a thought-provoking dialogue about contemporary Greek culture and its vibrant presence in the United States. Link to video: /watch?v=Jc3KT3aLEno&pp=ygU9Z3JlZWNlIGluIHVzYSDPhM-Dz4zOus67zrcgz4PPic62zq7PhM6xIM6TzrrOv8-Fzr3PhM6_z4XOvc6xIA%3D%3D We are also immensely grateful to @davidzwirner for hosting us at their beautiful viewing room @davidzwirner , surrounded by the powerful art of @raymond_pettibon_ . It was the perfect backdrop for our discussion. It was a pleasure to dive deep into this conversation with the immensely talented and insightful Sozita Goudouna—curator, art historian, professor, and the brilliant founder of @greeceinus , a platform dedicated to promoting contemporary Greek artists in the US. Our discussion, "Stous Dromous ton Ellinon" ("On the Streets of the Greeks"), explored the unique opportunities and challenges for artists today. ✨ Repost from @mayatsoclis ✨ #GreekCulture #ContemporaryArt #GreekArt #ArtDialogue #DavidZwirner #RaymondPettibon #GreeceInUS #CultureExchange #ERT #StousDromousTonEllinon #SozitaGoudouna #ArtHistory @sozitagood

#Highlights2024 @openinggallery . With deep thanks to Gary Ryan @templedrake for his moving @whitehotmagazine review: “Exhibitions at The Opening Gallery always seem to matter, invariably touching the world in relevant ways. The contributing artists are to the person full to the point of overflowing with purpose and vision. And, the curation is expansive in its scope, advanced in its presentation of subject-matter, and artist-centric —in short, it’s consistently spot on. Precisely for all these reasons, I find The Opening Gallery to be much more consistently compelling than almost all other smaller galleries in the city, and very much worth following. If you’re looking for one gallery to befriend and follow, I highly recommend this one at 42 Walker Street.

Talking about #Beauty with @peggy_kliafa_ @nikomachi.k_studio_ & @sozitagood at the #WorldBeautifulBusinessForum @houseofbeautifulbusiness . Excited to partner with the #WorldBeautifulBusinessForum to present the work of the @libraryresidency and @greeceinus through the lens of @peggy_kliafa_ and @nikomachi.k_studio_ This year marks 10 years of the House of Beautiful Business — and the theme feels more urgent than ever: The most human gathering for the more-than-human world. For four days, 750+ leaders from business, art, philosophy, technology, policy, design, science, and activism converge in the heart of Athens — the cradle of democracy — to ask: How do we build businesses that create beauty and positive impact in a fragmented world? What makes this Forum different? • No name tags — removing hierarchy and transactional networking • Experiential, immersive, participative sessions • Playful formats that invite real exchange, not passive listening • Conversations that merge business, democracy, regeneration, belonging, and spirit Five main stage acts inspired by Greek drama, more than 100 speakers, facilitators, and performers across more than 80 concurrent sessions organized into 10 immersive program tracks — and 1 powerful community. It’s a living experiment in how business can be more life-centered. 🍋 And here is some practical information: World Beautiful Business Forum https://lnkd.in/e5tH4Jjn https://lnkd.in/eWKDR8NN The most human gathering for the more-than-human world When: May 7-10 Where: Athens, Greece Five main-stage acts inspired by Greek drama, more than 100 speakers, facilitators, and performers across more than 80 concurrent sessions, organized into 10 immersive program tracks and 1 powerful community.

Thank you for attending our #opening ! . THE UNFINISHED LANDSCAPE // CHRONICLES OF PLACE We are pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Venia Behraki, curated by Dr. Sozita Goudouna. Presented by the Maliotis Cultural Center @maliotisculturalcenter_of_hchc director @chrysoula_kourkounti in collaboration with @greeceinus 🗓️ May 1 – September 1, 2026 🎉 Opening Reception: May 1, 6–8 PM Behraki reframes landscape not as a fixed view, but as a dynamic field shaped by time, movement, and breath. Working with watercolor, her large-scale works bear the visible traces of gesture and fluid flow—inviting a “travelling gaze” rather than a single point of observation. Engaging with the grammar of classical Chinese shanshui painting, Behraki inherits core principles: layered distance, the choreographed gaze, and the meaningful use of empty space (liubai 留白). Drawing on Bakhtin’s chronotope (the fusion of time and space) and Bachelard’s poetics of “intimate immensity,” her paintings become felicitous spaces where temporal experience—cycles, shifts, dissipations—becomes legible. Respiration is central. Behraki’s breath—the pause between inhalation and exhalation, air released across wet paper—leaves material traces. Her paintings breathe. This is the “respiratory turn” in contemporary aesthetics: breath as nexus of embodiment, temporality, and ecological awareness. The landscape is never finished. It is continuously formed through movement, duration, and the act of looking. Join us May 1. 🎟️ Free and open to the public. 📍 Maliotis Cultural Center, Brookline, MA .
