{"product_id":"9783775763158","title":"Maria Loizidou. Newcomers","description":"Maria Loizidou’s exhibition ‘Newcomers’ transformed the abandoned Minerva Hotel in Platres, Cyprus, into a meditation on displacement, refuge, and belonging. The site-specific installation responded to the hotel's layered history as a summer retreat and wartime shelter, guiding visitors through six thematic rooms using fabrics, sound, light, and found objects. The exhibition was accompanied by three parallel events that explored collective discourse, the relationship between desire and possession, and the artistic occupation of space. Alexandra Landré’s accompanying text drew on Arendt and Ahmed to describe Loizidou’s work as ‘political tenderness’ – making visible those erased from history, through gentle interventions that create space for bodies that ‘do not fit’, offering traces instead of monuments for the forgotten. The exhibition was conceived and organised by Pylon Art \u0026amp; Culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaria Loizidou’s practice interweaves personal and political references concerning the history of colonialism, war, oppression, minorities, and the withdrawal of social welfare. Her work combines drawing, video, sculpture, weaving, and installation.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53356899893512,"sku":"9783775763158","price":28.57,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775763158_82ae193e-0b16-4be5-bd8b-56727eb53f49.jpg?v=1773390904","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.com\/products\/9783775763158","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
