“Eureka” by Sakis Papagiannis

The new personal exhibition of Sakis Papagiannis, named “Eureka”, will be accommodated at the exhibition area of the second floor of Michael Cacoyannis Foundation from 20th of May to 9th of June 2013.

Sakis Papagiannis is inspired by the current events in Greek society and he aspires to discover new creative pathways. His obvious references to the “Eureka” phenomenon are calling us to: re-invent our inner powers, be detached from our daily routine, broaden our horizons and take a positive look at all the things around us. He transforms various objects into peculiar machines and he invites us to start from scratch.
