DESCRIPTION:World War II has been the deadliest conflict in human history\, the “point zero” of European and global civilization. Dozens of nations engaged in combat\, millions of people were killed\, civilians as well as soldiers\, and the largest part of Europe suffered incalculable damage. The map of the Old Continent was redrawn. \nThe Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation and the Embassy of Greece organize for the first time in Cyprus the exhibition “1940 | People and Images. Cyprus – Greece”. The exhibition presents primary evidence drawn from historical research into the World War II period\, including the participation of Cyprus and Cypriot volunteers in the fight against the Axis powers as well as significant aspects of the Greek people’s resistance. \nIt collects\, traces and displays people and images as it tells the story of the humble heroes of the war. It is a tribute to the participation of Cyprus and Greece in the 1940 campaign. Featured in the context of the exhibition is Dimitris Vattis’ photography project “The War’s Forgotten”. \nThe exhibition is curated by Catherine Loui Nikita\, Director of BPR Cultural Management. \nThe President of the Republic of Cyprus will inaugurate the exhibition on Tuesday\, 9 April 2019\, at 19:00 \nDuration: 10.04.19 – 31.12.19\nVisiting hours: Mon – Sun 10:00-19:00 \n86-90 Faneromenis Str.\, Old Nicosia \nT: 22128157

SUMMARY:Picasso at the Cyprus Museum - Works in Clay
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Antiquities announces the organization of the exhibition “Picasso at the Cyprus Museum. Works in Clay” \n12 June – 8 September 2019 \nAt the mature age of sixty-five\, Pablo Picasso developed a passion for ceramic art\, which became one of his main forms of expression until the end of his life. In fact\, the famous artist’s systematic engagement with ceramics began in 1946 in Vallauris\, while on vacation there. In this village in the South of France\, Picasso met the owners of the ‘Madoura’ pottery workshop\, Suzanne and Georges Ramié. The couple had reopened an old ceramic workshop with a traditional wood-burning kiln. So great was the artist’s excitement with the place and the potential of clay as a material\, that a year later he settled in Vallauris together with his new partner\, Françoise Gilot. This was the beginning of an extremely fruitful collaboration with the Ramié couple\, who actually put both their workshop and artisans at the disposal of the artist. Thus\, the ideal conditions were created for Picasso to begin experimenting feverishly with the various techniques of clay. \nThe ancient art of pottery\, the malleability and durability of clay as a raw material\, the unpredictable end result\, the combination of arts (painting\, sculpture\, pottery)\, the usability and transformation of clay objects were all elements that fascinated Picasso. At the same time\, the distinctive features of the South of France and Vallauris in particular\, such as the ample space\, the light\, the fragrances of nature and the simplicity of everyday life\, all decisively contributed to the opening of a new and important chapter in the life of the artist. Over the next years and until 1971\, Picasso created an enormous number of original ceramic works\, which exceed 3\,500 in number. \nPicasso believed that the art of ancient civilizations “is not a thing of the past”. In his ceramic works\, the artist evidently uses various shapes\, motifs\, textures and themes from antiquity and mythology\, without copying them\, however. Instead\, he created a whole new reality. From his preparatory sketches to his final works\, one can distinguish influences from the pottery art of ancient cultures\, particularly those of the Mediterranean region. \nThe exhibition\, “Picasso at the Cyprus Museum. Works in Clay”\, organized by the Department of Antiquities\, as part of the Picasso Mediterranée programme and led by the National Picasso Museum in Paris\, presents a small but representative part of Picasso’s ceramic creations\, with original and unique works. At the same time\, the exhibition includes Cypriot antiquities\, grouped in such a way as to highlight specific themes\, shapes and motifs of antiquity\, whose echoes archaeologists discern in Picasso’s works. The visitor is invited to reflect on and sense possible points of encounter and dialogue\, but also common characteristics and traits\, many of which could have developed randomly. \nIndeed\, was Picasso aware of Cypriot antiquities? What is certain is that the artist never visited Cyprus. His work\, however\, entitled “Faces of a Woman”\, which was the spark for this exhibition\, was inspired by a Cypriot clay composite vessel of the Early Bronze Age (circa 2000 BC)\, which is exhibited at the Louvre Museum\, while similar ones are part of the Cyprus Museum collection. Although in the “Faces of a Woman” the comparison with a specific antiquity is evident\, the choice of Cypriot antiquities for the other Picasso works was made in such a way as to bring to the fore the common themes\, the similar motifs\, the uses and the unchanged techniques that one can distinguish in the works of the anonymous creators of antiquity and those of the 20th century eponymous artist. For this reason\, the interest of the exhibition’s curators focused mainly on issues\, such as the masquerading and playing with the bull figure\, the anthropomorphism and zoomorphism of the vessels\, the elaborate and multidimensional handles\, the painted decoration\, the posture of the body and the pictorial scenes on vessels. \nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue in Greek and English. \nOpening Hours\nTuesday – Friday: 8.00 – 18.00\nSaturday: 9.00 – 17.00\nSunday: 10.00 – 13.00\nMonday: closed

DESCRIPTION:We would like to welcome you to the 20th Anniversary of Paradise Jazz Festival which will take place at Val’s Place in Gialia Village\, Paphos\, on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th of August 2019. \nFor this year due to the 20th Anniversary on one side\, and to manage to cover the creative activities of jazz musicians in Cyprus on the other side\, we have included 6 shows on our program {3 every night} plus 2 extra jam sessions with special guests. In total\, we will present 27 artists up to now and there will be a few more coming. \nWe will start on Friday 23rd and on 9.30pm with The Amalgamation Choir\, a project that is consists of all-women and is created and conducted by Vasiliki Anastasiou. Their repertoire draws influences from the musical traditions of shores around and islands floating in the Mediterranean Sea. Strong elements of the therapeutic acapella group singing and polyphony are balanced out by thoughtful instrumentations and arrangements of sea folk songs and original compositions in different languages.\nThe choir will friendly frame well known members of Cyprus Jazz Musicians \nThe next band on Friday night\, time 10.30pm\, is the Michalis Messios Symmetry Band which is perhaps the oldest figures of the jazz scene in Cyprus. First appeared in 1993 with the name Petsteppers and later renamed M. Symmetry Messios Band and presents mostly original compositions of Michalis Messios. The other three members of the band are Charis Ioannou on saxophone\, Christos Yerolatsitis on piano and Ioannis Vafeas on drums. The artists are among the most active and dedicated musicians with notable participation in festivals in Cyprus and abroad\, international jazz clubs\, recordings\, personal albums\, theatrical performances and of course countless appearances at various venues and events in the island. The band presents mostly Michalis compositions characterized both tunefulness and the intensely rhythmic patterns and improvisation parts. (See full Interview) \nLast on Friday’s official program\, on 11.30pm\, will be is a project created by Cyprus- based guitarist and composer\, Odysseas Toumazou. He recently completed the recording of his first studio length album “Ensticto”. His work has been described as\, “truly authentic and strong\, personal sound within the guitar-trio-genre.” His influences are wide and include jazz\, classical and traditional music that create a unique sound catering to a variety of audiences. Improvisation is a key element of Odysseas’ music\, allowing for an immersive experience between the audience and band during performances\, that can be described as accessible and simultaneously experimental.\nAt Paradise Jazz Festival Odysseas Toumazou will be performing original pieces inspired by the traditional sounds of the island. The defining improv and jazz qualities mingled with Mediterranean influences is what can best characterize this fusion of sound. The artist is accompanied by George Koulas on drums and Andreas Rodosthenous on electric bass and featuring guest Michalis Kouloumis on Violin. \nThe night will end with our traditional Jam Session\, where the Cyprus Jazz Musicians will mix together in an improvised mood and in more unrestricted forms. \nOn Saturday the 24th the night will start on 9.30pm.\, with Nikos Charalambous Trio which is based on original compositions from Nikos\, and a few cover songs from the Jazz\, Pop/Rock world. The sound belongs in the modern jazz idiom and expresses a balance between strong rhythmical ideas and beautiful melodies combined with strange soundscapes and dreamy atmospheres. Nikos Charalambous is on guitar and compositions\, Marijn Roeland Van de Ven is on double bass and Omiros Miltiadous is on drums. \nWe will continue on 10.30pm\, with the Alexis Kasinos Quartet which will be participating in the Paradise Jazz Festival presenting original compositions of the recently released Alexis’ debut album Right Place\, Right Time. Having jazz as a basis\, the pieces of the album are also influenced from a modern era including a variety of rhythms that set to each composition a certain mood. Every single melody of the recording tells a different story that can be developed in the fantasy of the listener. The band members are Alexis Kasinos on guitar and compositions\, Andreas Panteli on piano\, Cahit Kutrafali on electric bass and Stelios Xydias on drums. \nWe kept for last as the highlight of 20th PJFestival the Trio Misteriozo who will welcome in Cyprus and on our festival\, one of the most well-known Dutch jazz musicians\, the pianist\, educator\, composer/ arranger Rob van Bavel Rob had won several significant awards\, he had released more than 200 CDs as a sideman or as a leader\, and he is playing regularly with famous artists.
