«LANDS/SexLife»: solo show by Lito Kattou at opbo studio

The independent art space opbo studio announces the opening of Lito Kattou’s solo exhibition titled “LANDS/SexLife”, curated by Ioanna Gerakidi, on Friday, June 30th at 8 pm. In LANDS/SexLife, Kattou ponders and expands on the characteristics and symbolisms of the mantis as a species encountering life through survival, sex through shielding, resistance through cannibalism. Through a new body of work consisting of reliefs and other sculptural gestures, Kattou traces the circularity of time as an a-chronical structure, the fatality appended on the femme identity as a parable for protecting life and the landscape as a means for altering the dominant geopolitical narratives.

opbo studio launch

opbo studio* announces its official launch as an art space with a series of exhibitions curated by Ioanna Gerakidi. The program includes a series of solo shows focusing on the political and poetic qualities of seduction as a means of exploring issues of collective and individual identities. Over these series, seductions will be used as metaphors, aiming to move us, audiences, into unknown spaces, non-linear times, a-rhythmic prays and spells; they long to be touched as diaries of fears and grievances and nightmares, yet also as archives of raptures and laughs, coming when licking our wounds, when “dancing into the ecstatic” quoting the words of Tavia Nyong’o.
