What happened

Cosmopolitanism meets sensuality at Greek Gotham the latest group exhibition at Dio Horia Art Platform in Mykonos Greece curated by New York-based curator Maria Brito. Founded in 2015 by art historian and curator Marina Vranopoulou Dio Horia is a dynamic young platform for contemporary art that explores relationships between Greece and abroad as well as how Greece and Mykonos in particular can be re-imagined through an intensive summer programme of residencies commissions exhibitions and artistic collaborations. The first ever exhibition in Greece to feature solely New York-based artists Greek Gotham is the gallery’s largest exhibition to date —one of “nearly institutional proportions” as Vranopoulou excitedly exclaimed hours before the opening— and draws playful yet acute associations between two of the most important cultural centres of the Western world —namely Ancient Greece and present-day New York City.
