Time is a Child Group Exhibition on Leros Island
Galerist and Perasma present 'Time is a Child', a group exhibition on the Island of Leros, Greece, from July 9 to 23, 2023. The title references Heraclitus's phrase about time's fleeting nature. The show features 22 artists including Martin Creed, William Kentridge, Nil Yalter, and others. It takes place at the Koulouki bay in Lakki, within a 1930s Italian Navy mine storage structure now serving as the Nautical Club of Leros. The exhibition reflects on time as a constant flux, inspired by John Keats's 'Ode on a Grecian Urn'. Supporters include Vienna Contemporary, Atelier Rebul, and Minval.
