Sea Garden at EMST

Curated by Danai Giannoglou and Kyveli Mavrokordopoulou, Sea Garden is the winning project from the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens’ (EMΣT) Open Call for emerging curators. The exhibition brings together works that explore the delicate interplay between landscapes and human intervention, from watery reflections resembling human forms to sun-scorched terrains and industrially scarred environments.

Anchored in the practice of Athena Tacha and her sculptural use of natural materials, the show features dialogues with artists including Margaret Raspé, Catriona Gallagher, Dora Economou, Claude Cahun, and Ana Mendieta, investigating nature, bodies, and identity.

Sea Garden invites visitors to reflect on thresholds, where land meets sea, nature meets culture, and personal and political geographies intersect. The exhibition is complemented by the public program I Even Lost My Shadow, featuring talks and contributions from participating artists.

Days & Hours: Tuesday - Wednesday & Friday - Sunday 11 am – 7 pm, Thursday 11 am - 10 pm
