VISIT to the Open-Air Sculpture Gallery of George Zongolopoulos

Open tour of the Open-Air Sculpture Gallery of George Zongolopoulos, on Sunday, June 1, 2025, for a multiform  experience among the emblematic works of the great Greek sculptor.

The event will be attended and honored with his presence by Demosthenes Agrafiotis, poet, visual artist and professor emeritus of sociology, who will attempt a dialogical, performative and interactive approach to the work of George Zongolopoulos.

Through his intervention, an attempt will be made to capture the influences of Zongolopoulos’ artistic production – from his students and aesthetic standards, to today’s world of uncertainty and the imaginary universe of the wider public.
Zongolopoulos, universal and local at the same time, remains a landmark and a point of reference for art in the era of post-globalization.

Location: George Zongolopoulos Square, Psychiko
📅 Date: Sunday, June 1, 2025
⏰ Time: 12:00 p.m.
