The Kairos exhibition, organized by SPIRA9, aims to showcase outstanding artworks and uncover the potential and value of artists. The selected works will not only be displayed to the public but will also provide artists with promotion and exposure through the exhibition platform, supporting their further development in the art world.

The word “Kairos” originates from ancient Greek, meaning a critical or opportune moment—a turning point that compels action. We believe that art has the power to evoke "Kairos," serving as a call to seize the moment. It urges us to recognize and embrace the urgency of the present, prompting us to act in these pivotal moments, where the potential for profound transformation exists.

SPIRA9 introduces a new narrative of time, showcasing slices of time through fluidity, pause, and retrospection in art. In our space, time fractures and flows like the lines in Roberto Matta's "The Executioner." It symbolizes the endless ouroboros, integrating the past, present, and future into one. As Talbot states: “We can think differently about the structure of our lives, and the production of goods and food—living responsibly. The key is whether you believe this is the right direction for the future.”

We invite artists to join us in transcending the traditional clock time and to delve into the undercurrents of time with their artworks.
