WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN ITHACA

A heartfelt thank you to Una Meistere (Una Meistere ) and Arterritory (ARTERRITORY ) the Baltic-based online platform for art and culture, for this thoughtful and personal conversation about our journey, our passion for art, and the exciting new chapter we are building in Greece.

From our inaugural exhibition HOMECOMING in Athens this summer, beautifully curated by Polina Kosmadaki, to our future private art space at Ithakis 31 and our developing artist residency on the island of Samos.

After almost four decades in the international art world, it feels especially meaningful to create new places for art, artists, conversations and encounters.

We all have our own Ithaca. Perhaps finding it is also about discovering new ways of living with and sharing art.

Thank you, Una, for capturing so much of what inspires us.

HOMECOMING, was the inaugural exhibition with which we activated what will become our Private Artspace & Salon in the heart of Athens.

Curated by Polina Kosmadaki ( ) the exhibition brought together more than 40 Greek and international artists, including Sophie Calle, Jannis Kounellis, Emily Kam Kngwarray, Nadine Schemmann ( ), Jeppe Hein ( ), Alicja Kwade ( ), Gregor Hildebrandt ( ), Tammy Kanat ( ), Henry Curchod ( ), Magnus Plessen ( ), Maro Fasouli ( ), Ioanna Limniou ( ), Polina Miliou ( ), Ilias Papailiakis, Theo Triantafyllidis (.trian ), Jannis Varelas and many others.

Set within the former residence of Nobel Prize–winning poet Odysseas Elytis in Kypseli, Athens, the dialogues between artists, artworks and this historic setting continue to resonate months later.

This video takes us on a final walkthrough of HOMECOMING before our 450 sqm space undergoes restoration and renovation, reopening in autumn 2027.

Stay tuned!

Congratulations to Ju Young Kim, (Ju young Kim ) the first recipient of the Harper’s Bazaar Women in Art Prize!

It was an honour and a privilege to serve on the jury - and, with more than 300 applications and so many extraordinary artistic positions, also a real challenge to select just one recipient.

Thank you to Harper’s Bazaar Germany (Harper’s BAZAAR Germany ) for inviting me to be part of this important initiative, celebrating and strengthening the visibility of women in art.

Congratulations again, Ju Young Kim - a wonderful and very deserving first laureate.

Heartfelt congratulations, dear Johnson Eziefula (Johnson Eziefula ) on joining the 2026–2028 cohort of De Ateliers in Amsterdam (De Ateliers ) such a wonderful and well-deserved new chapter in your creative journey.

After a period of reflection, loss and recalibration, it is especially moving to see you return to the studio with renewed openness, curiosity and trust in the artistic process. De Ateliers is an extraordinary environment in which to continue that journey, and I am very excited to see where this next chapter will take you.

Wishing you inspiration, discovery and every success ahead - congratulations, Johnson! ❤️

Desire Moheb-Zandi is known for her sculptural woven textile works that echo her own cultural identity. Currently based between Paris and Melbourne, she grew up around textiles in Turkey, kilims with their woven symbols and stories, Uzbek ikat garments her grandfather brought back, a grandmother who sewed and knitted and altered things by hand. She puts it down to a tactile sensibility gained early rather than anything specifically taught. The loom came later, at Parsons in 2013. « The first time I worked on a large floor loom, it felt strangely familiar, as though my hands already understood its rhythm. » Her material lists put h**p dyed in France next to wool dyed in Turkey, cashmere next to PVC and car paint, with no hierarchy between them. « More than their value, what draws me is their behaviour, how they feel, move, reflect light. » Residencies also form a large part of her practice, Last summer she handspun wool in Uşak and learned natural dyeing from a master dyer in Antalya and this September she starts a residency in Cappadocia with A.R.C. x GALERIST.

Thank you VAULT for this wonderful feature about our current artist project at The Artbarn - Desire Moheb-Zandi’s exhibition “Evergreen” 🙏🙏

Repost VAULT:

Desire Moheb-Zandi’s ‘Evergreen’ is on in the Arndt Collection’s Artbarn, Cape Schanck until 18 September 2026.

Handwoven into sculptural forms that spill beyond the boundaries of the wall, Desire Moheb-Zandi’s ‘Evergreen’ transforms weaving into an exploration of rhythm, material and memory. Working with natural fibres, rope, raffia, velvet and synthetic threads, Moheb-Zandi builds tactile compositions through the repetitive gestures of weaving, knotting, wrapping and layering. Her works sit between geometric structure and organic movement, balancing meticulous craftsmanship with spontaneity and allowing the material itself to shape the final form.

Drawing on her Turkish, Iranian and Uzbek heritage, Moheb-Zandi considers how textiles can carry personal and collective histories, particularly stories of displacement, belonging and continuity. ‘Evergreen’ pushes fibre beyond its traditional associations with craft, proposing weaving as a dynamic sculptural language through which cultural knowledge can be transformed and carried forward.
