honey; love; pheromones

As part of a new project, Dio Horia invites guest curators or artists to organize shows in the main exhibition space. honey; love; pheromones is a group show of Greek and international artists conceived by guest curator Rallou Panagiotou. The exhibition’s idea stems from a notion of the island as a volume of inorganic, natural materials: the sea, the water, the rocks, the salt, all covered by an amorphous veil of desire that is produced by the living bodies (that find themselves on it or imagine it). This desire may sometimes take specific forms in certain commodities, relations, food, consumption, expectations or else remains an abstract bliss.

The use of works in the exhibition follows this sequence; from the natural materiality of the
island to the examination of this desire and its artificial elements: images of butter and nivea
cream, carved wood in primal form, magazine clips that reconstruct real relations, jigsaw puzzles

with tanned, rearranged bodies, wrapping paper as a thinking process, ice cream and
money, hair and dust as drawings, travel paraphernalia, landscapes and emotions.
