K-Gold Temporary Gallery presents Blue Moon, a solo exhibition by Yorgos Maraziotis, curated by Nicolas Vamvouklis. This site-specific installation explores notions of habitation and human connection through a new series of sculptures and spatial interventions.
Continuing his investigation into the identities of public and private spaces, Maraziotis creates works that shift between the real and the imagined. He delves into the concept of displacement and the tension that arises when objects are removed from their original context and reappear charged with new meanings. This shift speaks not only to material transformation but also to the lived experience of moving from one place to another.

The exhibition originates from oral testimonies collected from former residents of the neoclassical house that now hosts K-Gold Temporary Gallery, located in the village of Agia Paraskevi on Lesvos island. These voices are translated into dynamic works made of neon, marble, metal, and mirror. In parallel, the artist reintegrates architectural elements that had been removed during the building’s renovation—material anchors of memory and links to the past.

The result is a hybrid landscape at once familiar and unexpected. A theatrical scene where personal and collective narratives interweave into a journey through fragments of stories and emotions.
The exhibition is accompanied by a bilingual (Greek/English) publication featuring a conversation between the artist and Sam Steverlynck (curator, S.M.A.K. Ghent), designed by Marlon Tate.
