| The concept of home is the theme of the contemporary art group exhibition entitled “House”, which is being presented from October 12 at the Limassol Municipal Arts Center – Papadaki Warehouses. It is curated by B.C Epcker. |
Participating artists are Marianna Constanti, B.C Epcker, Tatiana Ferahian, Chiaki Kamikawa, Christina Papakyriakou, Tarmo Paunou, Janne Räisänen, Heli Ryhänen, Witte Wartena. The home as a place where we live or grew up, strongly influences our way of thinking and behaving. How do we connect with it, how are we attached to it or detached from it? The narrative is different for each of us… The concept of home raises questions such as: What does a home do? Is it a space capable of making us feel at home today? Or is a home more like an intellectual space or even a virtual place, like a homepage or a profile in the Cloud. Have we ever experienced what it means to lose our home? How did we experience our mandatory confinement in it, as a protective measure during the covid -19 pandemic? A home can be examined from many different perspectives: economic, political or philosophical… but what about the perspective of the visual artist? |

| Chiaki Kamikawa, “Dream Home for Sale” |
The home as a theme has been approached in a series of exhibitions held in Edinburgh in 2009, Berlin in 2011, Rotterdam in 2012 and Leeuwarden in 2018, each time with a different result. It is obvious that the concept of home is able to create a multitude of approaches that puzzle the viewer through their visualization. In order to keep up with the times, we are obliged to constantly redefine our relationship with it. |
