We Were Always Here
Eirini Tiniakou, Nadja Geer, Maisie Maris, Daphnis Monastiriotis, Riccardo Vitali, Vasilis Zarifopoulos, Nikos Katsampanis, Auðunn Kvaran, and Nikoletta Georgakopoulou
Having recently relocated to a larger space, Living Room now functions not only as an exhibition venue, but also as a home for artists’ studios ~~ a shared environment where works develop side by side and dialogue is built.
Our first group exhibition celebrates that spirit of proximity and exchange. Bringing together the approaches of Eirini Tiniakou, Nadja Geer, Maisie Maris, Daphnis Monastiriotis, Riccardo Vitali, Vasilis Zarifopoulos, Nikos Katsampanis, Auðunn Kvaran, and Nikoletta Georgakopoulou, the exhibition presents a variety of voices shaped within and beyond the studio walls.
Various processes meet in a shared space that equally emphasises process and outcome, and connection as much as individuality.
The exhibition opens on Saturday, October 4th at 7pm.
Marathonos 71, Metaxourgeio
The exhibition is a part of A Collective of Collectives Festival.

Yoshi Kametani is an American visual artist working across photography, video, print, and sculpture, currently living and working in Athens. His practice largely reflects on time, destruction, chaos and mortality. At the core of his work is an exploration of entropy, a natural force lending itself to nihilism while embracing the inevitable cycle of rise and decay.

Francesca Kezich (b. 1995, Italy) is an artist whose practice spans set design, visual art, and performance. Holding a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture and a Bachelor’s Degree in Set Design from the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence, her work often explores the liminal spaces between the organic and the inorganic, the human and the alien.
Inspired by the hypnagogic state and the performative nature of matter, Kezich draws from found objects and discarded materials to create intricate and unsettling tableaux. These "embryonic creatures," as she calls them, emerge from a viscous, dreamlike state, challenging the viewer's perception and inviting a reconsideration of the value and agency of the discarded. Her work invites audiences into a shared dream space where the lines between reality and imagination blur, and the inanimate takes on a life of its own.
