The original manuscript of Ascesis is on display courtesy of The Nikos Kazantzakis Museum – the first time that it will have been exhibited in Thessaloniki. The exhibition will establish a creative dialogue between the artists’ works and the essay, tracing the journey towards enlightenment from the time of birth until death. We came from an abyss of darkness we end in an abyss of darkness: the interval of light between one and another we name life. Participating artists, both international and Greek, have been inspired by Ascesis: The Saviors of Gods (Ασκητική), the spiritual exercises written by the renowned Cretan thinker, Nikos Kazantzakis. The exhibition is curated by Dimitris Paleocrassas and Maria Marangou.

NEON’s exhibition Flying over the Abyss, previously presented at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Crete, opens at the Contemporary Art Centre of Thessaloniki, an independent section of the State Museum of Contemporary Art. Curator | Dimitris Palaiocrassas and Maria Marangou
