What happens when we overturn our perception or step off the beaten path? To deviate from the expected, to “delirare,” as it were, means to move away from the familiar, from the “lira”—the Latin word for an arable field, a space carefully cultivated and controlled. This exhibition delves into the spaces where convention is upended, where the familiar is disrupted, and where secrets are revealed. What transpires when the private becomes public, when the untold stories emerge from the shadows and step into the light? Perhaps it is the metaphorical elephant entering the room—an unavoidable truth suddenly made visible. -

(1950–2009) was a self-taught artist whose distinctive visual language remained largely under the radar during her lifetime. Working across painting, Christou developed a deeply personal and expressive style.
Her evocative portraits draw upon the textures of everyday life, weaving
together myth, ritual, and personal narrative. Christou’s protagonists—men in
cafés, beggars, s*x workers—emerge as everyday heroes in surreal, dreamlike
scenes that blur the line between fact and fiction. With self-referential gestures
and symbolic imagery, her work speaks to themes of marginality, resilience, and inner life.
Public Secrets, curated by brings together key works by showcasing her vivid and deeply intimate
portraits, painted primarily in oil on canvas during the early 1990s through the
late 1990s. Her compositions capture domestic intimacy and everyday social
settings with striking emotional depth.
Each canvas stands as a visual diary—emotional, narrative-driven, and
charged with private meaning—while also evoking broader social and cultural
textures from the late 20th-century Greek landscape. Despite limited exposure
during her career, Christou has left behind a quietly powerful legacy that
continues to resonate.

(Tirana, 1988) seamlessly works into this significant void in art: love, desire—especially of feminine nature—impulse, and s*xuality are at the core of her work: universal subjects able to transcend differences and overcome boundaries.
The images in her paintings are mostly taken from film and video stills, usually little known, which serve as the painting’s initial detonator and from which the artist moves away, cutting the cord from the initial inspiration. They are mainly populated by female bodies and suggest scenarios potentially involving the erotic act—as if they were a “right before” or “right after”—without explicitly showing it. The paintings stand out for their “photographic” attitude, but at a closer look they manifest themselves as strongly painterly, made of a livid liquidity, of synthetic brushstrokes devoid of any affectation, leaving many parts of the painting deliberately unresolved and almost abstract. They are an ode to feminine desire, encompassing strength, fear, hope, a desire for freedom, dark sides, and vitality: inseparable themes from a not-yet-past past, laden with global political issues, which one must deal with every day and every night.

CHRYSANNE STATHACOS
KABINETT
June 19 - June 22, 2025

The Breeder presents a solo exhibition of Chrysanne Stathacos (b. 1951) for the Kabinett sector, showcasing the artist’s deeply spiritual and feminist practice. A radical voice of her time, Stathacos has continuously pushed boundaries with her multidisciplinary work, blending painting, installation, and performance to explore themes of loss, body politics, and transformation. With a strong institutional presence worldwide, she integrates materials like roses, hair, and ivy into works that evoke cycles of decay and renewal. The presentation features key pieces, including a 1990s Condom Mandala painting, intricate Rose Petal drawings, a scroll piece, and a floral mandala installation, creating a spacefor contemplation and empowerment.
