The\u00a0Art Prize of the G. & A. Mamidakis Foundation<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is being awarded for the sixth consecutive year, reaffirming its role as an institution that actively supports contemporary artistic creation and the production of new works for the Foundation\u2019s Collection.<\/p>\n

Since 2019, the Prize has evolved into an important commissioning platform, enabling artists to realize original proposals that engage with place, landscape, and audience, while enriching the Foundation\u2019s publicly accessible collection in Agios Nikolaos, Crete.<\/p>\n

This year, the institution remains committed to supporting contemporary artistic production and the creation of new works that become part of the Foundation\u2019s Art Collection, strengthening the dialogue between artwork, place, and viewer. This significant distinction was awarded to\u00a0Canadian artists\u00a0Caitlind r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for their proposal\u00a0Chronotopia<\/em>, a large-scale site-specific installation that explores the relationship between light, water, space, and time through an immersive experience of viewing and participation.<\/p>\n

The work will be officially unveiled in early June at a hospitality venue in Agios Nikolaos, transforming the landscape into an active field of experience and perception. Visitors will be invited to move through a complex visual structure composed of lenses and fields of light, where the image is never fixed but constantly shifts, reflecting the movement of both the body and the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n

The selection of\u00a0Chronotopia<\/em>\u00a0underscores the Foundation\u2019s ongoing commitment to supporting works that move beyond the traditional exhibition of objects and instead propose new ways of perceiving, engaging viewers in a multisensory and collective experience of space and time.<\/p>\n

We met with the Canadian artists to discuss their artistic journey, the significance of the G. & A. Mamidakis Foundation Art Prize, and the work that will be installed at a\u00a0bluegr Hotels & Resorts property in Agios Nikolaos.<\/strong><\/p>\n
