SENDER–RECIPIENT
21.06 – 28.07.2017
With the exhibition SENDER–RECIPIENT, Cypriot artists Ioanna Kythreotou, Thekla Papadopoulou and Elena Tsigaridou will be presenting their new body of work at The Cyprus House in New York as from June 21st. The exhibition is part of a residency programme at the Cyprus Consulate, through which the three artists were invited by curator, Marina Christodoulidou, to interact with three artists based in New York and with whom they bear common features in their artistic practice, so as to generate an exchange platform. With this said, the residency is two-fold. On the one hand is the exhibition, and on the other is the communication and interaction with their artistic collaborators on location. For the exhibition, a book edited by the curator, with a text in a dialogue format between architect Georgios Makridιs and Marina Christodoulidou, has been published.
For the exhibition, Kythreotou, inspired by remnants based on archival material, creates plasmatic landscapes. Papadopoulou, by layering the surface of her canvas, compiles a memory of her creative process and transcends the work with the element of a floor mirror. Tsigaridou reveals a personal narrative through a still–life, with thistles as her vanitas symbol. The exhibition title resonates as the three artists act both as senders and recipients. The sender–artist becomes the work, which independently represents its own concept to the viewer–recipient. Based on this thought, the dialogue in the book questions: What is the relevance of the artist’s intention, when the work stands independent as the sole means of communication with the beholder?
The exhibition is held under the auspices of the Consul General of Cyprus in New York, Mr Vasilis Philippou, with the support of the Loukia & Michael Zampelas Art Museum in Nicosia. The publication was made possible with the financial support of Paradisiotis Ltd, in their interest of supporting culture and this exhibition.

United States of Europe
A travelling exhibition about European identity and today's Europe
Opening: Nicosia, Cyprus: 17 September 2012 | 7.30pm -- 11.30pm
Duration: 17 September -- 14 October 2012
Do you feel European? Does Mr O'Keeffe in Ireland feel more or less European than Mrs Stylianou in Cyprus? And if so, why? What is the idea behind Europe and do Europeans feel included? Do Europeans trust their leaders? Maybe there are as many different answers on these questions as there are citizens in Europe.
The artistic project United States of Europe (U.S.E) deals with these questions in the context of a travelling exhibition through ten European countries. The exhibition opened in Lodz, Poland in November 2011, the second destination was in Helsinki, the third in Vilnius and the fourth in Guimarães. Now the exhibition opens in Nicosia, as a part of the cultural programme of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
United States of Europe (U.S.E), a large-scale collaboration project about European identity, will further be presented in public spaces, galleries and museums in Germany, Bulgaria, France, Ireland and Belgium, until Spring 2013.
U.S.E is not propaganda for a federal Europe but it aims to create commitment in the Europe we live in, and to function as a communication platform for people living in Europe. The exhibition offers a lot of different interpretations on European identity through diverse disciplines and angles.
U.S.E consists of four elements:
In the exhibition, art works (videos, photos, installations) are confronted with interviews from a sociological study. A multimedia laboratory - being an artwork in itself -- combines sociology (interviews) with an artistic dimension and constitutes the heart of the exhibition. A complementary series of debates discusses and reflects upon political, social and cultural aspects of Europe.
THE U.S.E IN NICOSIA:
In Nicosia a walk is organised through the city: Discover your city and discover Europe.
Several different venues are included in order to offer the exhibition to a wide audience. The exhibition in Nicosia is organized by the Pharos Arts Foundation, in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Paris, the Goethe-Institut Cyprus, Loukia and Michael Zampelas Art Museum, Institut Français Cyprus, Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Cyprus, Nicosia Municipality, Classic Hotel, Temporary Space, Ledra Properties, The European University Cyprus, Cyprus Theatre Organisation, the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Λευκωσία | Μουσείο Τεχνών Λουκίας και Μιχαλάκη Ζαμπέλα
Το Μουσείο Τεχνών Λουκίας και Μιχαλάκη Ζαμπέλα παρουσιάζει μοντέρνα και σύγχρονη τέχνη στην Κύπρο και βρίσκεται στο Καϊμακλί, σε μία τοποθεσία πολύ κοντά στα τείχη της παλαιάς πόλης της Λευκωσίας.
Εναν επιπλέον στόχο του Μουσείου αποτελεί η πολιτιστική αναγέννηση στο Καϊμακλί και στις γύρω περιοχές, δημιουργώντας ένα νέο κεφάλαιο για την πολιτιστική ανάπτυξη και την ιστορία του νησιού.
Στεγάζεται σε ένα μοντέρνο αρχιτεκτόνημα, που συνδυάζει την παράδοση με την καινοτομία, αφού επιτυγχάνει το πάντρεμα σπιτιών του 1950, 1960, 1980, 1990 και 2010.
