\n On Sunday, November 2nd a special event exclusively for our Cycladic Friends, took place on the last day of our exhibition Marlene Dumas: Cycladic Blues with private guided tours, a workshop with the artist Sofia Stevi and a screening of the documentary titled Miss Interpreted.\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n

The Museum of Cycladic Art was pleased to present the first solo museum exhibition in Greece by renowned artist Marlene Dumas<\/strong>, one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary art. For this exhibition, Dumas personally selected works from across her oeuvre, while, in a rare gesture, she also hand-picked a group of fourteen archaeological artefacts from the Museum\u2019s collection to be presented alongside her own works.<\/p>\n

Dumas\u2019s paintings were shown in conversation with fourteen antiquities from the Museum\u2019s collections<\/strong>, ranging from schematic figurines of the Late Neolithic period and stylized marble figurines of the Cycladic Bronze Age to sculptural works from the Classical period, spanning regions from the Aegean to Cyprus.\u00a0 These artefacts had either directly inspired or resonated with Dumas\u2019s works on view, highlighting enduring and universal themes such as life, love, motherhood, gender, and mortality. This rare pairing invited visitors to reflect on both the timelessness and immediacy created by the coexistence of Dumas\u2019s works with creations from the past.<\/p>\n

Curated by independent curator\u00a0Douglas Fogle in close collaboration with the artist.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
