New exhibition
The title “Summer Diaries” refers to a season. At its core, it concerns the system created by that season. This approach encompasses a visual language related to economy, architecture, infrastructure, and consumption shaped by the coastal strip.
Antonio Cosentino’s works bring to the surface the material culture of summer, such as television, tubes, plastic chairs, shop windows, signs, and boats, with an archival approach.

Limnos Land Art – 2025
In June 2025, a new chapter of the Limnos Land Art project unfolds with the unveiling of Levietan, a sculptural installation by Todor Rabadzhiyski. Set within the Natura 2000 protected zone near Keros Blue Hotel, this evolving site welcomes a work shaped by the raw forces of the island and the buried narratives beneath its soil.
Continuing the mission of To Collect Contemporary Art, this annual initiative transforms the landscape into a living gallery, where each intervention speaks to place, ecology, and collective memory.
The project is made possible with the generous support of Aya Estate Vineyards, our leading partner, whose commitment to culture and sustainable development helps shape this unique intersection of art, land, and community.

For the first edition, we’ve selected Kalina Dimitrova’s Site-specific installation, “Tumbleweed”
