FokiaNou Art Space is celebrating ten years of operation with a group exhibition entitled “Happy Anniversary”. A large group of Greek and foreign artists, who have held solo or two-person shows in the space, will participate with works in all media in a colorful and joyful birthday party.

FokiaNou Art Space began in 2014 as Fo Kia Nou 24/7, founded by the visual artist Blanka Amezkua as one of the first independent artist-run spaces in Athens. Having held a two-person exhibition there, which sealed their collaboration, Panagiotis Voulgaris and Mary Cox took over as directors and curators in the fall of 2016. Housed on the 7th floor of an old apartment in Pagrati, the space has held exhibitions, performances, workshops and other projects consistently throughout the last ten years as well as promoting cross-cultural collaboration between Greek and foreign artists. FokiaNou participated twice, in 2019 and 2023, in Supermarket, Stockholm Independent Art Fair, providing an opportunity for local artists to show their work internationally. Through its many open calls, such as the annual exhibition on the theme of Athens, the space has drawn a steady and growing community of artists and art enthusiasts. Join us in looking back on ten years of FokiaNou, which primarily celebrates the power of artists when they take matters into their own hands.

Curators: Mary Cox and Panagiotis Voulgaris

Participating artists: Blanka Amezkua, John Bicknell, Maria Bourbou, Mary Cox, Susan Daboll, Anastasia Denos, Sarah Ettlinger, Chrysostomos Galathris, Dimitra Gounari, Jane Grover, Chris Hawtin, Marietta Kallona, Nina Kotamanidou, Loula Leventi, Maria Letsiou, Dimitra Maltabe, Despoina Pantazi, Dionisios Pappas, Nikos Podias, Caroline Pradal, Marina Rovithi, Geeta Roopnarine, Christian Schmid, Stella Sevastopoulou, Ioanna Terlidou, Iliana Theodoropoulou, Georgia Maggy Touliatou, Ira Vlahaki, Panagiotis Voulgaris, Gregoria Vryttia, Erika Winstone, Piyi Wong, Kiveli Zachariou.

"the Collection", Fokianou Art Space, Athens
thecollectionweiter zum Showroom Schmitt

Opening : Saturday March 17, 2018 at 7pm.
Duration : March 17 - 31, 2018
Hours : Wednesday to Saturday, 5 - 8pm.

FokiaNou Art Space is pleased to present "The Collection": a group of works collected by artist / gallerist Christian Schmid.

Based in Karlsruhe, Germany, Schmid has spent the last two decades amassing a collection of nearly 60 works by artists from Karlsruhe, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna, Zurich, Athens and Boston, mainly by swapping his own work with other artists as well as buying some pieces.  Small drawings, paintings, encaustic works, photographs and sculptures make up most of the collection, which also includes ceramic pieces and small installations.

The artists bring a variety of approaches and philosophies to their practices, with older, more well-known, sometimes academically influenced artists juxtaposed with younger, unknown and sometimes even self-taught artists.  The salon-style hanging creates new connections between these varied works.  Schmid’s position as an artist and curator in Karlsruhe has given him a unique opportunity to meet and get to know both the established gallery world and local off-gallery scene, both of which are represented here.
