✨ LAST WEEK TO VIEW Andreas Kalli | The Future of the Past Ends 06.11.2026 @kalli_andreas In this new body of work, Andreas Kalli brings together sculpture, kinetic installations, paintings, prints and drawings to explore the enduring relationship between the individual and their social and existential environment. Through movement, material and repetition, the mechanical gradually acquires an emotional presence. As curator Maria Stathi writes: “Perhaps this is where movement truly becomes thought: not simply in the mechanism itself, but in the space it opens between the work, the artist and the viewer.” @mariastathip ✨ Join us during the final week Artist & Curator Tours Monday, 2 November | 16:00–19:00 Wednesday, 4 November Gallery open | 16:00–19:00 ✨ FINISSAGE | Friday, 6 November 🕓 Exhibition open | 16:00–20:30 🎧 Electronic music performance | 18:45–19:00 🎧 Gallery listening experience & DJ set by Ina Achilles | until 20:30 @ina_achilles_ Join us for the closing evening of The Future of the Past, beginning with an electronic music performance by Ina Achilles, presenting Aporia — an original composition created in response to the sounds of Andreas Kalli’s kinetic sculptures. For this composition, Achilles draws directly from the exhibition’s mechanical soundscape, transforming its rhythms and timbres into a new way of experiencing the artworks and the gallery space. Following the performance, the listening experience will continue with a DJ set by Ina Achilles within the exhibition. ✨ Join us for one final encounter with the exhibition through movement, sound and space. The exhibition is accompanied by a commissioned text by art historian Niki Papaspyrou, offering a further reflection on Kalli’s practice and this new body of work. 💫Opening hours: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 16:00–19:00, Saturday 11:00–13:00 or by appointment @artseen_contemporary Photos by @ioannaeconomidou For information, please contact Maria Stathi, Founder & Director, Art Seen +357 22006624 | info@art-seen.org | www.art-seen.org by @artseen_contemporary

✨ FINISSAGE | Friday, 6 November - Andreas Kalli | ‘The Future of the Past’ 📍 @artseen_contemporary 🕒 Exhibition open 16:00–20:30 🎧 Electronic music performance 18:45-19:00 by Ina Achilles 🎧 DJ Set follows until 20:30 by Ina Achilles Join us for the closing evening of ‘The Future of the Past’, opening with a 10 minute electronic music performance by Ina Achilles, presenting an original composition ‘Aporia’ created in response to the sounds of Andreas Kalli’s kinetic sculptures. The evening will continue with a DJ set. @kalli_andreas For this composition, Achilles draws directly from the exhibition’s mechanical soundscape, transforming its rhythms and movements into a new way of experiencing the artworks within the gallery space. @mariastathip “At the threshold between the familiar and the unknown, where memory encounters the uncertainty of tomorrow.” Drawing on sounds from the kinetic sculptures featured in ‘The Future of the Past’, the composition ‘Aporia’ explores the tension between hardness and fragility. A personal search gradually shifts towards the collective, leaving open the question of where we are heading.” *Ina Achilles @ina_achilles_ Since 2016, Ina Achilles has been exploring the world of electronic music through a personal trajectory of creation and experimentation. Her artistic practice includes record releases and music composition for film, while through her live performances she remains actively engaged with Cyprus’s electronic music scene. Alongside her work in digital experience design, her practice has become increasingly interdisciplinary, expanding into sound design, live electronic performance and their connection with other forms of artistic expression. ✨ Join us for one final encounter with the exhibition through movement, sound and space. 🔥 Friday 6 of November | 16:00 - 20:30 ⚡️Live Performance | 19:00 - 19:15 ⚡️DJ Set until 20:30 Video by @ioannaeconomidou #AndreasKalli #TheFutureOfThePast #InaAchilles #ArtSeen #contemporaryart by @artseen_contemporary

Art Seen x Limassol Art Walks Shaheer Zazai | A Petal for a Petal Curated by Maria Stathi For Limassol Art Walks 2026, Art Seen presents, for the first time in Cyprus, Shaheer Zazai’s textile-based floral works. Rooted in his lived experience with Afghan carpets, Zazai investigates how textiles and digital technologies function as systems for recording and transmitting knowledge. In these works he reimagines paradise as an aftermath. His flowers are not decorative motifs but luminous witnesses: quiet judges of the imbalance between humanity and the natural world. Presented as a focused pop-up exhibition, the works form a space where the organic and the algorithmic, the devotional and the technological coexist, leading, finally, face to face with light itself. @szazai._ @limassolartwalks @artseen_contemporary Opening hours: Friday 17:00–21:00, Saturday 11:00–18:00, Sunday 11:00–18:00 📍Art Seen is in a new location this year at Aleph, Athinon 80, Limassol, 3040 // Location #2 Limassol Art Walks 2026 📸 @ioannaeconomidou by @artseen_contemporary

🔥OPENING Shaheer Zazai | A Petal for a Petal Curated by Maria Stathi @mariastathip For Limassol Art Walks 2026, Art Seen presents, for the first time in Cyprus, a new body of textile-based works by Afghan-Canadian artist Shaheer Zazai. Rooted in the visual language of Afghan carpets and shaped through digital processes, Zazai’s floral works bring the organic and the algorithmic into dialogue. Here, flowers are not simply decorative forms, but luminous witnesses — carrying ideas of memory, displacement, nature and paradise as an aftermath. Presented as a focused pop-up exhibition, A Petal for a Petal unfolds as a space where the devotional and the technological coexist, leading us, ultimately, face to face with light itself. Opening Friday, 9 October 2026 | 17:00–21:00 Aleph, Athinon 80, Limassol 10 & 11 October 2026 | 11:00 - 18:00 @artseen_contemporary is pleased to participate in Limassol Art Walks for the fifth consecutive year. @szazai._ PfP-DfD-TGWCHB No. 1, 2026 Dye Sublimation on Fabric 427 x 147 cm Edition of 3 #ShaheerZazai #APetalForAPetal #MariaStathi #ArtSeen #LimassolArtWalks #LimassolArtWalks2026 #ContemporaryArt by @artseen_contemporary
