“Keep on going the proper way: Not with fireworks, not with easy applause, but with the expression of the words, the diction, and to really feel what you feel. That’s what I want. I’m not good at words, so that’s that.” The March 1972 speech was a detail little known to her admiring public, along with letters, jewellery and countless honors that include a postage stamp series from Kyrgyzstan and Congo. Now they are on display. The City of Athens inaugurated the Maria Callas Museum in the center of the Greek capital Wednesday, marking a century since the birth to Greek parents of the legendary soprano in New York. The museum, next to the city’s cathedral and with a view of the Acropolis, opens to the public Thursday, with sections of the museum connected by a red carpet. The top floors offer a recreated room of her Paris apartment, an imaginary forest and a sound studio, along with recordings of her famed live performances and clips of her lessons at The Juilliard School. Other display areas have exhibits of her costumes, hand-written letters and a sketch of a Callas-inspired Manolo Blahnik design. “I think we are primarily addressing a person who is the ordinary visitor who might not know much about opera. They might know much about Maria Callas,” museum supervisor Erato Koutsoudaki told The Associated Press. “So we invite them to start with the spaces where you can listen and watch her perform iconic arias from the great operas. So you can just live it. Then you can learn more about who this woman was and why she was important, on the lowers floors that are more like a conventional museum.” Born Maria Kalogeropoulos, the singer made her professional debut in Athens as an 18-year-old student and died in Paris aged 53 after a career that some still consider to be unrivalled in opera. Callas would have turned 100 on Dec. 2, and her life has been honored with a year of artistic events in Greece as well as the upcoming movie “Maria” starring Angelina Jolie. Athens Mayor Kostas Bakoyannis at the museum’s inauguration thanked the staff and private donors. Many started work on the project when it was conceived 24 years ago, bringing the collection together through auction purchases, donations from private collections and negotiations for display rights with recording companies. “This is the first museum dedicated to Maria Callas that … combines technology with lived experience,” the mayor said. “We welcome this museum with great joy and deep respect for the great diva.”

In his address, Pompeo spoke of the significant relations between the United States and Greece and the Mediterranean, and emphasized security and economy issues, while referring to a common prosperity. Asked about the EastMed natural gas pipeline project, he said that it had progressed significantly but a lot remained to be done. The good news however, he said, was that the opportunities he saw as secretary of state in the East Mediterranean remained, and that the region’s location and infrastructure presented huge economic opportunities, as well as creating many openings and prosperity.

It is considered the largest retrospective of his work on a global scale, and is curated by experts from both Greece and France, besides EMST - in particular, curators from the Musée de la Musique-Philharmonie de Paris, the Estate Iannis Xenakis, and the Center for Contemporary Music Research-Athens Conservatory. It will also be the most extensive presentation of his music to a Greek audience, organizers said. The exhibit of the multifaceted artist, who died in 2001, will run on two floors of the Museum, the ground floor and the third floor. On the ground floor, the exhibition will focus on innovative approaches to music by Xenakis, who was trained as an architect and was a leading figure in the use of mathematical models in music. "Iannis Xenakis: Sound Odysseys" will be the most extensive presentation of his original work, unpublished sound material, architectural plans, and photographs, arranged into six units. On the third floor, the show "Xenakis and Greece" will review the composer's complicated relationship with Greece and the cultural context of his work, including his founding of the Center for Contemporary Music Research now housed at the Athens Conservatory. EMST will include sideline events (projections, recitals) that underline Xenakis' contribution to contemporary music. The Xenakis exhibition is part of the Museum's policy of highlighting the work of important artists of the Greek diaspora. It will run to July 1, 2024 (next year).

The exhibit is free and will remain on the premises until the end of the year (December 31st, 2023). The idea of the present exhibition had as its starting point the Athens International Airport and after going through various stages of processing, it was transferred to the classrooms of the University where it was delivered as an annual monothematic project to the students of the "Visual Art Applications" laboratory of the Department of Photography and Audiovisual Arts of the University of West Attica.  Student participants enthusiastically embraced the challenge and were engaged, for over a year, in the creation of original works through the collage technique, developing their ideas on the creative axes: Sky, Limited-Unlimited, Countries, Journeys, Nations, Earth, Travel, Space, Border-Borderless, etc. or adopting personal interpretations of concepts and terms. Visual and conceptual approaches followed literal, metaphorical, symbolic, realistic, hyperrealistic or abstract paths or even a combination of some of them. The selected art works of this "journey" are presented at the Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" both in wall mounted digital prints and in a continuous stream of images projected on a video.

The central exhibition narrative revolves around the unique ensemble of wall paintings that adorn the building of the Parliament in the historical Hall of Trophies and Adjutants (current “Eleftherios Venizelos” Hall). These monumental frescoes stand for “talking” testaments of the Exhibition, as the portrayed figures and events come to the fore and invite us to an empathetic survey of the struggle for Freedom. In “discourse” with the wall paintings, are presented many and unique portable exhibits (manuscript archives, books, newspapers, artworks, objects and weapons), coming from the special collections of the Library of the Parliament, as well as from certain private ones, mainly the philhellenic collection of Michalis and Dimitra Varkarakis.   VENUE MAIN LIBRARY OF HELLENIC PARLIAMENT FOUNDATION START TIME SUNDAY 12:00 TICKETS ENTRANCE IS FREE

With the assistance of virtual reality and a multimedia application for mobile phones, visitors to the exhibition will be able to watch, among others, Zeus on his throne above the entrance gate of the popular mall, the winged Pegasus flying in the skies above the complex of cinemas and Dionysus serving Greek wine to the visitors of the restaurants. At the same time, in a specially designed space in the central square, inside a replica of an ancient Greek helmet 6 meters high, a 3D video with scenes from Greek mythology will be shown. The exhibition is accompanied by advertising spots of the Greek National Tourism Organization, in selected parts of the shopping center. "Our myths and traditions have always served as a bridge between the two cultures. With this exhibition, our Chinese friends will have the opportunity to almost touch the ancient Greek gods and heroes, enjoying a truly exciting experience," the Ambassador of Greece to China, Dr. Evgenios Kalpyris said. The exhibition, which will open on Saturday, April 22nd, will run until the end of June. Then it will travel to the 478 malls across the Chinese territory operated by the Wanda Group, which has the management of Solana Beijing. The exhibition budget exceeded a total of 700,000 euros, which was fully invested by the organizers Solana Beijing, ONEK MR+ and the Wanda Group, while the realisation of the digital presentations and the development of the software took more than six months. The shopping centre is visited daily by approximately 70,000 people.

When people think of ancient Athens, they often think of the great Pericles, or the philosophers Socrates or Plato. But what of the butchers, bakers, carpenters, and money changers? What was everyday life like for them? And what of the myriad others who played a role in the day-to-day running of the city’s economy? In its latest initiative, the Acropolis Museum in Athens is hosting a special gallery tour that will explore just that: the world of employment in ancient Athens. To bring the working lives of the ancient Athenians back to life, the museum’s curators have designed a new thematic section in the Archaic Gallery, based around three ceramic vases on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The painted scenes on these exceptionally well-preserved vases each narrate stories about the jobs and occupations of ordinary Athenians. Who were they? What were their professions, and how did they practice them? What was their social status? And in what ways did they contribute the social, economic, and political changes of the time? Every Sunday from February 5th to July 30th, 2023, hour-long guided tours of the section will be hosted by the museum’s archaeologists, who will not only describe the jobs and working conditions of the ordinary citizens of ancient Athens, but also discuss the extraordinary artists and ceramicists behind the creation of the three vases.               Each tour is limited to 30 people at a time, first-in, first-served. An admission ticket to the museum is required for adults, while children go for free. Read about ticket prices and museum opening times here. Tours will be conducted in English at 11.00 and in Greek at 13:00.     For more information, visit the Acropolis Museum website.

Entering the Garden from the entrance of L. Amalia, the natural environment is enriched with the works of the exhibition Seeing The Invisible. Seeing the Invisible requires its free application (https://seeingtheinvisble.art/app/) on the visitor's mobile phone (with a minimum of 4GB memory) or iPad, tablet. After connecting to wifi, the proposed route appears on the app's map and the works hidden scattered throughout the Garden are revealed. The experiential and one-of-a-kind exhibition is presented in the National Garden of Athens and at the same time in ten botanical gardens around the world. For its Athenian edition, the Greek department of Outset (founded in 2012 by Elina Kountouri) collaborated with the municipality of Athens. The eponymous exhibition began as an initiative of the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens and in its first phase, in 2021, was presented simultaneously in twelve gardens around the world, in collaboration with the contemporary art organization Outset Contemporary Art Fund (founded in 2003 based in London) and the support of the Jerusalem Foundation. "The theme of the exhibition is a reference to climate change and the loss of biodiversity. It adopts models of sustainable practices from outside and places these digital experiences inside the gardens, highlighting the importance of the flora and fauna of the area and keeping the carbon footprint to a minimum" emphasizes Artemis Stamatiadis, director of Outset Greece. The National Garden of Athens hosts thirteen augmented reality works by renowned international artists as well as a commission from Outset Greece to a Greek artist, Loukia Alavanou, with the result that the National Garden is the only participating Garden with 14 works. Loukia Alavanou's project "Nea Zoi" was co-created with Roma children from Nea Zoi Aspropyrgos, who transformed with their paintings a dystopian original landscape into a green flower-strewn place, as they would ideally like their neighborhood. Unseen works scattered throughout the National Garden await visitors. Between them is a huge circle that forms zero, a symbol of peace, solidarity and coexistence, according to Persian scholar theory. The project was originally designed for the United Arab Emirates, home of participating artist Mohamed Kazem, who invites the viewer to traverse the circle that embodies universal values, as if starting from equal ground. As the day progresses, the light, shadows and reflections above the digital structure change, further enhancing the connection between work and natural environment. The same applies to the cave-temple of artist Timur Si-Qin - originally from China and based in Berlin. Through a portal the viewer passes through rooms with designed walls and constellations on the ceiling. The project proposes a new secular faith in the face of climate change, global pandemics and the collapse of biodiversity. The impressive colorful tapestry of soft drink caps, a combination of aesthetics and commentary on post-colonial history, racial discrimination, consumerism, is the work of sculptor El Anatsui, which he constructed together with the Ghanaian community. Refik Anadol's surrealist work from Turkey combines creation with artificial intelligence and other interesting works are revealed in the Seeing The Invisible exhibition, which runs until September 2023.
