We are pleased to announce HOMECOMING, the inaugural group presentation at Arndt Family Residence, Salon and Private Art Space, in Ithakis Street, Kypseli, Athens.
HOMECOMING unfolds from the personal trajectory of collector, art advisor, and traveller Matthias Arndt, whose long engagement with Greece has culminated in Athens becoming a place of residence, work, and return. It draws a quiet parallel with the mythic nostos of Odysseus—an echo embedded in the very name of the street on which this new chapter is staged. Situated within the former residence of Odysseas Elytis, the Nobel Prize-winning poet who lived and worked in the building between 1940 and 1957, the future Salon and Private Art Space on Ithakis Street carries an extraordinary cultural and literary charge. By activating this apartment as a site for artistic production and exchange, Arndt acknowledges its layered histories while opening it toward the present.
Conceived in collaboration with curator Polina Kosmadaki, HOMECOMING inaugurates the venue as a living space for art and dialogue—inviting a group of Greek and international artists take possession of the empty apartment. The exhibition operates as an act of inhabitation, layering artistic presence onto an already resonant place. It proposes the home not as a fixed private interior but as a porous structure: at once domestic and discursive, intimate and open.
