What a gem 💎 the Archaeological Museum in Athen

What a gem 💎 the Archaeological Museum in Athens, an absolute must-visit! A few highlights #namuseumathens #Athens Photographs by #ARTFLYER #artflyernet

The Jockey of Artemision, a bronze beauty pulled from a shipwreck in 1926, stamped with a victory palm of Nike

A bronze statue of Zeus (or Poseidon?) with tourists striking their best warrior pose next to him

A tourist marveling at arrowheads from the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC). Herodotus wrote that the sheer number of Persian arrows would “hide the sun.” A Spartan named Dienekes famously shot back: “Then we shall fight in the shade.” 🏹

The Lady of Mycenae, one of the most iconic Mycenaean frescoes ever found, unearthed at the palace complex of Mycenae

The Spring Fresco, discovered in the prehistoric town of Akrotiri on Santorini

Aphrodite fending off an overly amorous Pan. she’s about to smack him with her own sandal 🩴 (Aphrodite, Pan & Eros, c. 100 BC)

The Antikythera Mechanism, often called the world’s first analog computer. Found in a shipwreck in 1901, this 2,000-year-old bronze device tracked the sun, moon and planets with precision. Scientists are still decoding it today

The Mask of Agamemnon, a golden funeral mask discovered in 1876 by Heinrich Schliemann, who dramatically (and wrongly) claimed he’d “gazed upon the face of Agamemnon,” the king from Homer’s Iliad. It’s actually centuries older than the Trojan War era, but the legend stuck

Marcus Aurelius, and a line straight from his Meditations: “The present is all you have to live in.”

“Until That Day”, a new exhibition by @nariwar

“Until That Day”, a new exhibition by @nariward at the iconic Slaughterhouse Project Space on Hydra, on view until October 31, 2026. Thank you @donkey301239 @mjoannou @destefoundation

Inspired by Emperor Haile Selassie I’s historic 1963 address to the United Nations, Until That Day reflects on identity, migration, and the lived experiences of Afro-Greeks through art, music, and community. Featuring performances by Aggelos Aggelou and Afro-Greek musicians, the exhibition highlights the resilience, creativity, and cultural contributions of African communities in Greece while calling for unity across racial and national boundaries.

Anish Kapoor, one of the most influential sculptor

Anish Kapoor, one of the most influential sculptors of his generation, is known for works that challenge space and perception through monumental, abstract and often illusory installations.

I first met Kapoor at the Gallerie dell’Accademia in 2022, during a major retrospective of his work. That same year, he opened his foundation and inaugural exhibition inside Palazzo Manfrin, the 16th-century Venetian landmark in Cannaregio.

Four years later, the second exhibition delights once again❗️

100 architectural models spanning five decades : sculpture, space and architecture.
Built and unbuilt projects sit side by side. The unrealised works feel just as alive as the realised ones.

“For a long time I’d been thinking of my work as potential architecture. I’ve always been convinced by the idea that to create new art you have to create new space.” Anish Kapoor

Biennale “In Minor Keys” highlights, part 2 @labiennale

All photographs 📸 by #ARTFLYER @artflyernet #artflyernet

1. View of the Central Pavilion

2,3 🇪🇸 Oriol Vilanova @oriolvilanova has spent more than twenty years collecting postcards from markets and second-hand shops. At the Spanish Pavilion, those found images become Los restos.

4,5 🇩🇰 Maja Malou Lyse turns the Danish Pavilion into something between a fertility clinic and a biotech startup waiting room.

6,7,8 🇫🇷 Yto Barrada @ytobarrada looks to Saturn the planet linked to solitude, discipline and deep thinking.

9 🇫🇮 Finland lets the wind make the music. Jenna Sutela’s Aeolian Suite gives control to nature itself.

10 🇩🇪 Henrike Naumann painted the German Pavilion in the pale mint green of abandoned Soviet military buildings in former East Germany, then filled it with curtains, furniture and everyday objects. The space feels more like a strange home than a monument.

11 🇷🇴 Anca Benera @beneraestefan and Arnold Estefán turn to the Black Sea and ask: how do we heal a damaged sea?

12 🇪🇬 Armen Agop @armen.agop creates a Pavilion of Silence inspired by the stillness and emptiness of the desert.

13 View of the entrance to the Arsenale

14 Kaloki Nyamai @kalokinyamaistudio

15 🇮🇳 Ranjani Shettar suspends a floating garden from the ceiling of the India Pavilion.

16 🇨🇱 Norton Maza @nortonmaza combines handmade scenes, sound and political images in a world shaped by migration, fake news and environmental collapse.

17 🇨🇦 Abbas Akhavan @abbasakhavan fills Canada’s pavilion with giant Victoria cruziana water lilies plants with a colonial history connected to the building around them.

18 🇬🇷 Andreas Angelidakis builds an Escape Room inspired by Plato’s cave.

19 🇸🇦 Dana Awartani @danaawartanistudio covers the floor of the Saudi Pavilion with handmade clay tiles based on patterns from damaged sites in Gaza, Syria and Palestine. Visitors walk around them, not on them.

20 🇧🇷 Adriana Varejão goes big: 12 ceiling paintings, 100 meters of wall installation and one ceramic vessel.
