Artist studio spaces in Athens, Greece

Peru is a contemporary art space in the heart of Athens, Greece. It is founded by an artist and runs as an independent space, with diverse functions and events.

When Peru was created , our main desire and utmost wish was for it to be a space where ideas , thoughts and people bloom, communication and beautiful humans flourish, having art as the soul food and starting point for conversation and evolution.

This has never changed, and in our efforts to enforce it, our space functions expanded, offering its main space and the upper floor as studio spaces for artists and all sort of creatives to work, create, concentrate, make miracles, coexist and exchange ideas.

Magic Vessels group exhibition

Magic Vessels | Containers of the Divine

All the scars on my body, all the bumps and bruises, all the muscles - that is a story of everything I have done. And it's not just my story. My ancestors who came before me gave me this vessel to sculpt and mold.

-Rose Namajunas

What is a vessel? How objects obtain a specific quality and special meaning for us?  What do we consider as sacred items and how artists translate this notion into art? And can this be considered mirror-wise? Are humans a kind of vessel?
