30th PLOES: Towards the Land of Hesperides

This summer, for the 30th year, the annual artistic exhibition PLOES is hosted at the P. & M. Kydonieos Foundation building in Chora, Andros. "Towards the Land of Hesperides", is the subtitle of the exhibition and will be held from Saturday July 27 to Sunday September 29, 2024.




In mythology (which is a codified philosophy of life) the 11th feat of Hercules, which is essentially threefold and concerns the "Garden of the Hesperides", includes the most important values in case one wants, overcoming the risk of disintegration, to reconstruct (through the symbolism of the three Golden Apples of this "Garden of the Gods"), a healthy society, based on the principles of a new and naturally modernised Humanism. In other words, it is man's greatest effort to lay the foundations of a new life, after he has realised, through the manifold adventures of life, his potentialities of self-transcendence.

This year’s 30th PLOES anniversary includes works of sculpture, engraving, ceramics and composite materials.
