MIRAGES LXXV

July is much more deferent than the previous one, because the dimensions of time have changed and in a Summer we try to condense a Winter that was inactive and blocked due to lockdown and the physical presence in the exhibitions being replaced by the virtual and many Art Fair to change their dates, such as Art Paris and LISTE, of which we are Communication Sponsors, will take place in September; during this month we will be back with more detaosyou know, many others for security reasons will take place into the heart of Summer.

But as every year, art travels and accompanies us on our vacation from Los Angeles and Aspen to the heart of Provence at Château La Coste and the Greek Islands, in Hydra with the exhibition of the DESTE Foundation at the old Slaughterhouse of the island; at the Castle of Antiparos every year the Swiss gallerist Eva Presenhuber presents an artist, this she presents the work of Alex Hubbard; in Poros and the Citronne Gallery; while Tinos has its honorary year with many and interesting exhibitions among them the Isternia Tinos ZIGZAG Festival 2021 !

And for those who are in Thessaly or traveling to and from with a stopover in Larissa do not miss to visit the Municipal Gallery of Larissa-G.I. Katsigras Museum, a visit that will reward you once you see three very interesting exhibitions: “Yannis Gaitis-The Crowd and the Loneliness” curated by Giannis Bolis, the exhibition “Margarites/Daisies” with 12 women artists from Larissa curated by Nina Kapsali and the exhibition “Waving the Future II” with 29 women artist curated by me.
