It was unfortunate that we had problems with the Turkish customs and couldn't transport all works to the show.

About Exhibition
This artistic experiment has been inspired by others of this kind and it is being realised through dialogue with the mayor of Karlovassi Mr. Limberis and the need of our municipality to come closer to the visual arts.

The concept of this exhibition is based on ,,the world of changes''.
Fire changes into water and earth in turn...without the one contrary the other would not exist, and without contraries the cosmos would not exist (Heraklitus).
The natural phenomena, the energy sources, movement towards the liquid element of our existence, which stimulates the senses and thoughts for our personal research, creating skeptical images with consciously or unconsciously permeate through the artistic procedure of the artistic praxis.

The aim of this exhibition is to develop and stimulate creative thought and a spirit of collaboration between the public and artists of our island that will open a crossroad of exchange that unites our need for communication and entertainment along with an open cross-cultural dialoge on life, joy and sadness as the destiny of each one of usin the world of changes.
The participating artists come from Greece, Germany, England, Italy, Australia and the US. Others live in Greece and others between their native lands dedicated to their art, at times unsupported or ignored by the polity. Our guest scientist Associate Professor Peter Anderson from Canada and our artists colleagues and friends Atila Ilkyaz, Onur Ozmen, Isa Ozdemir, Enver Ozustun from Turkey happened to be occupied with similar thoughts or working on the same concept.

Rhoes -Akis- Flux a deep concept and reflection upon us where transformation is perceived differently from each one of us through our expressive matter: painting, sculpture, printmaking, land art, installations, science and communication, music composition, drama, creative photography, film, video art and literature.
Our subject matter reflects on nature, natural disasters, spirituality and global culture.
Amongst a deeply distracted world of social and political turmoil on current humanitarian issues which have occupied our thoughts and the world: chemical wars, population shifts, natural disasters, the naval tragedy of the Samina Express...,we are uniting here to justify our truth for life and art with ultimate perception and criticism on contemporary art issues.
I would like to express my gratitude towards my colleagues and others for their interest in this event, as without their collective thoughts and generous offer of their art this event could not have taken place.
