Conceived specifically for the Service Yard, the exhibition explores the relationship between humanity and the natural environment through the interconnected notions of time, gravity, the movement of water and the lunar cycle.<\/p>\n<p>At its core are three large-scale installations: an elliptical disc of raw salt evoking the Moon\u2019s orbit, a light-based sculptural installation of the Moon synchronised in real time with its lunar phases, and Breathe (2000), presented on loan from the permanent collection of EMST \u2013 the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens. The exhibition also features two sculptural translations of a pebble collected from Afales Beach on the island of Ithaca, realised respectively in resin and metal, together with a photographic installation dedicated to the Moon\u2019s phases and a soundscape incorporating excerpts from Eleni Potaga\u2019s poem Marvelous Pebble. The exhibition develops an intergenerational dialogue with Potaga\u2019s Muse (2006), permanently installed in the Megaron Atrium.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition was designed through the creative collaboration between Danae Stratou and Anna Kafetsi, and marks the completion of a project that Anna Kafetsi embraced with enthusiasm, while also honouring her work and contribution to Megaron the Athens Concert Hall and to culture, and is dedicated to her memory.<\/p>\n<p>OPENING HOURS:<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday 12:00\u201320:00<\/p>\n<p>Thursday 13:00\u201321:00<\/p>\n<p>Monday closed<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition will remain closed on 17 November, 24, 25, 26 &amp; 31 December 2026 and 1, 2, &amp; 6 January 2027<\/p>\n<p>Consult this link for further information:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.megaron.gr\/en\/annex-m-danae-stratou-afales\/\">https:\/\/www.megaron.gr\/en\/annex-m-danae-stratou-afales\/<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>annexM at Megaron the Athens Concert Hall<br \/>\nDuration: 8 October 2026 &#8211; 31 January 2027<\/p>","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":7558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[73,109],"class_list":["post-7559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-98","tag-eng","tag-109"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/contemporary.culture.gov.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/contemporary.culture.gov.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/contemporary.culture.gov.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/contemporary.culture.gov.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/contemporary.culture.gov.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7559\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/contemporary.culture.gov.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/contemporary.culture.gov.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/contemporary.culture.gov.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/contemporary.culture.gov.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
