Greek God Apollo Shines Over Hydra

High above the sun-baked Greek island of Hydra, the Greek God Apollo presides, his face shining a warm welcome to those entering the island’s horseshoe-shaped port, fringed perfectly with its symmetry of mansions and stone walls.

DESTE introduces the exhibition as an installation presenting new sculptures by Kloons, complimented by readymade objects selected by the artist “to engage the viewer in a metaphysical dialogue between the contemporary and ancient.”

The exhibition has been installed at the Slaughterhouse – DESTE’s Project Space in Hydra, which was granted to the foundation by the Municipality of the Island of Hydra to serve as a unique exhibition space. Following its restoration and renovation, the DESTE Project Space Slaughterhouse has hosted a series of contemporary art exhibitions on the islands each summer since 2009.
