The exhibition showcases more than fifty works centered around fossils and geological imagination.
Thirty-three artists participate, engaging with the mineral world and the concept of discovery. It is noteworthy that the Chrysanthopoulos Mansion is intended to become a Paleontological Museum, as many fossils have been found in the area, including the “Anthracotherium of Kalimerian,” discovered by paleontologist Theodoros Skoufos in 1911 near the village of Kalimeriani. This fossil is now housed in the Paleontology and Geology Museum of the University of Athens.
Curated by art historian Christoforos Marinos.
