"Kalliopi Lemos’s major solo exhibition “I AM I, BETWEEN WORLDS AND BETWEEN SHADOWS”, will open on 11th September In the Greek Girls School in Fener, founded in 1879 as Ioakimion School for Girls, and abandoned in 1988. The exhibition is curated by leading international curator and critic Beral Madra, and organized on the occasion of the 13 th İstanbul Biennale as a parallel exhibition.
During the last decade, the work of artist Kalliopi Lemos has exposed the wounding of human dignity. The majority of her recent international projects have addressed the hardships suffered by thousands of undocumented migrants in their efforts to find a place to live. With her upcoming exhibition in Istanbul, Lemos has turned her attention to the injustices suffered by women in contemporary society. Born in Greece and based in London, Lemos has exhibited all over the world, and consequently her practice exhibits a global perspective, and attempts to address some of the universal problems faced by the human race, and with this new exhibition in particular the problems faced by women."
