The “ΤΑΝΑΓΛΥΦΑ/THERELIEFS” exhibition 

The new project of Pylon A&C is a narrative composition by artist Elina Ioannou and writer Louiza Papaloizou сuratув by art historian Areti Leopoulou. Elina Ioannou carves the tectonic evolution of a place and a culture bearing a history that is harsh and difficult, yet tender and fertile, in spite of a climate that seems increasingly barren. Ioannou constructs with tenacity and tenderness, the architecture of survival through sculptures that fruitfully transform stone, epidermis, and shell into life. In parallel, each cutting through their respective territories, Louiza Papaloizou and Elina Ioannou, assemble a narrative inspired by the morphological, climatic, and psychosocial changes which are currently taking place. 

When: All May, Thursday & Friday 5 pm - 8 pm, Saturday 11 am - 1 pm

Where: Pylon A&C, Athinon street 1A

Free entrance

The “Purity” group exhibition 

The first t.a.s.© group show in which the notion of purity will be examined and expressed through various forms of media, from painting and sculpture to literature and poetry by 16 Cypriot artists. Purity, as a concept, stands in stark contrast to impurity, embodying an idealized state untouched by external influences. It represents an essence left unadulterated, uncorrupted, and unblemished. It is often upheld as a paragon of virtue, revered and esteemed in societal narratives.

When: All May, Friday-Sunday 12 - 8 pm

Where: t.a.s.©, Timiou Stavrou 4, Pano Lefkara
