THE AFTER JOYA EFFECTS- 6000 FRAGMENTS / THE FLOATING ISLANDS
22 May 2015 … 20 June 2015 | at Popeye loves olive
« The after Joya Effect” * is an Exhibition that took place for the first time at Popeye loves Olive – Art Space, that aimed to the interaction and the transformation of individuality to collaboration, diversity to unification and exchange to sharing. It was inspired by the jewelry exchange inProject01 that held in Joya 2013. From 23/04/2014 – 30/06/2014, the project evolved in five solo exhibitions of Greek artists and one group exhibition of thirty five International artists. This year, every participating artist will create a unique (unreleased) piece, inspired by the “6000 Fragments – The Floating Islands” project. During the event, once again, the public will vote for their favorite artist, who will be invited for a solo exhibition at Popeye loves Olive. *The idea is to promote the Joya Project in Greece (artists selected by “Le Department” and exhibited in Joya Exhibition in October 2013 – 2014).

Ismini Pachi - Midnight Summer Dream – Iron, Pvc, Monofilament, Magnets « The starry sky, the aquatic landscape, the underwater organisms: all the elements that, in my opinion, define Greek islands the best.
