Book the dates!!!

May is normally a slow month in the Cyprus arts scene. NeMe is trying to remedy this with two talks that ever slightly try to fill this gap.

metaphor and Narrative

2 May 2025 at 7pm.

metaphor and Narrative, is a hosted seminar co-organised by the Lab of Animation Research of the Cyprus University of Technology and Vivliotropio presenting Maria A. Ioannou, Nikos Synos, and Christos Panayiotou. It will examine metaphor as a dominant narrative tool in the works of author Maria A. Ioannou, and animator Jan Švankmajer, and the links that connect the physical reality of the characters in their stories with their psychological reality.

The seminar will be in Greek.

rethinking the presentation of generative artworks

17 May 2025 at 6:30pm.

A presentation by Canadian artists Alexandre Burton and Line Nault who will explore Artificiel organisation’s approach to technology in art, and new modes of exhibition. The artists will discuss their curatorial approach which removes the meta-discourse from the artwork in order to eliminate external commentary and focus entirely on what exists within the work itself and the artist’s practice and argue that curation could be guided by a list of objective criteria, providing an almost algorithmic process for determining whether a work is suitable.
