Dio Horia

✨ Marina Velisioti
Last Resort
9th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art


Drawing from 1990s sci-fi aesthetics, Carl Jung, gaming culture, and speculative futures, Last Resort unfolds as an immersive installation where fragmented bodies, illuminated structures, symbolic forms, and suspended environments become emotional residues of contemporary anxiety, transformation, and collective survival.

Blurring the boundaries between physical and virtual realities, Velisioti constructs a ritual-like atmosphere where sculpture, ceramics, sound, moving image, costume, and installation converge into hybrid experiential landscapes.

Presented as part of everything must change. Radical Intelligence. Saloniki 9, curated by Nadja Argyropoulou, the work inhabits the architectural structures of HELEXPO, transforming them into speculative portals suspended between memory, desire, chaos, humour, and reinvention.

On view through July 5, 2026
Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art

The Callas present The Wanderers and This Is The And at the 9th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art, curated by Nadja Argyropoulou.

Installed within the industrial architecture of HELEXPO / ΔΕΘ, the works unfold as a fluid environment of movement, improvisation, vulnerability and collective imagination — bringing together sculpture, painting, found materials, sound, language and architectural intervention.

Part of everything must change. Radical Intelligence. Saloniki 9, on view through July 5, 2026.

Now on view as part of Weak Signal

—

In Throng, Eva Papamargariti brings together a dispersed crowd — fragments of bodies, surfaces, and skins that seem to assemble and fall apart at once.

Printed fabrics, fastenings, and suspended elements create a shifting field where identity feels worn, attached, and continuously reconfigured. Something familiar appears, but never fully settles.

Her work moves through these in-between states — where the human and its double, the physical and its projection, remain slightly out of sync.

On view now at Dio Horia.

Opening hours:
Tuesday – Wednesday – Friday 11:00–19:00
Thursday 12:00–21:00

Elias Kafouros
Large Language Models, 2026
Ink on paper
130 × 130 cm

Elias Kafouros presents a new work created for Weak Signal, continuing his long-standing engagement with drawing as a way to think through language, systems, and the passage of time. In Large Language Models (2026), marks gather into a dense visual field, suggesting processes of accumulation — how information is continuously produced, shared, and absorbed.

Without offering fixed narratives, the work leaves space for viewers to form their own readings. References to artificial intelligence, the flow of information we contribute to it, and the different rhythms through which each of us experiences time remain present as underlying conditions rather than explicit statements. As in much of Kafouros’ practice, meaning unfolds gradually, through attention and duration.

On view as part of Weak Signal — we invite you to experience the exhibition in person.

Opening hours:
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 11:00–19:00
Thursday: 12:00–21:00
Saturday: 12:00–18:00
