A group exhibition by 34 young artists based on the theme Heroes are Dead. Long Live the Heroes! is being held at the State Museum and the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, in Thessaloniki, until October 4. The exhibition is part of the Action Field Kodra 2014. Heroism fascinates due to its close affinity with the overcoming of human limits. Young artists approach through their artwork the traces of the heroic paradigm and the rupture with it; they negotiate the inconsistencies of myths, of historical narratives and they propose new stratigraphies grounded on the imprint of the past, present and future.

In commemoration of the 190th anniversary from Lord Byron’s death, Benaki Museum hosts a solo exhibition of Jannis Psychopedis, until October 26. Psychopedis, by pure chance has spent the month of August for the last 15 years, in the village of Metaxata on Kefalonia, next to the house Byron inhabited for four months. Gazing always over the same landscape –which altered imperceptibly through the years- the artist created each August a series of painted images, always in metaphorical, as well as literal, contact with Byron and his spiritual presence.
