Featured Events in Athens in February, 2025 (May Updated)

Until November 2024, the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMΣT) presents a cycle of exhibitions, in four parts, exclusively dedicated to the work of women artists or artists who identify as female, under the broader umbrella title, What if Women Ruled the World? On 8 March 2024, International Women’s Day, Part II of the exhibition cycle opened with six new projects by five international artists: Yael Bartana Claudia Comte Hadassah Emmerich Lola Flash Malvina Panagiotidi ___________________________________ Hadassah Emmerich | Epicurean Eden WHAT IF WOMEN RULED THE WORLD? Part || The mural will debut as part of the ‘What If Women Ruled the World’ Part II exhibition cycle, but will remain on display at the museum for a couple of years. Furthermore, the project is slated for completion in June, ideally aligning with the inauguration of ‘What If Women Ruled the World’ Part IV. Notably, the installation will include then specially crafted art rugs developed in collaboration with Art Rug Projects Athens. Hadassah Emmerich has become known for her exuberant paintings, collages and murals that intricately weave stylised representations of exotic fruit, body parts and vegetal elements into bold eroticised ornaments. Her work reflects an immersive and visceral exploration of the body and identity, navigating the realms of the sensory and the sensual while delving into the commodification of desire, the erotic and the exotic. The sensuality of her painting resides not only on the surface of the image, but also in her refined use of colour and technical execution. Since 2016, Emmerich has worked with a new painting technique, using stencils cut from vinyl flooring, which she covers with ink and then impresses onto canvas, paper or a wall. Referring to the visual language of advertising and Pop art, she creates images that examine the aestheticisation of the female body. She depicts the paradox of simultaneous attraction and repulsion, intimacy and cool detachment, seduction and critique. For the first presentation of her work in Greece, Emmerich has created a new large-scale, site-specific expansive wall painting which covers part of the museum’s ground floor foyer and mezzanine, taking over its entire education space. Consisting of several murals, a large frieze on the balcony of the mezzanine that connects to the ground floor and mezzanine, and several murals on the latter, including two monumental columns and sitting areas, the result is an immersive and colourful Gesamtkunstwerk. About Hadassah Emmerich *Heerlen (NL), 1974 Lives and works in Brussels Hadassah Emmerich studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht, HISK Flanders and Goldsmiths College, London.

Hadassah Emmerich’s art is a multifaceted exploration that transcends conventional boundaries, inviting viewers into a world where sensuality, feminism, and identity intersect. With a commitment to pushing the limits of her creative process and addressing urgent themes with depth and self-awareness, Emmerich stands as a visionary artist shaping the contemporary art landscape. Body and identity, the sensory and the sensual, the commodification of the erotic and the exotic: these are frequently recurring themes in Hadassah Emmerich’s work. The sensuality of her painting resides not only on the surface of the (erotic) image but also in her refined use of colour and technical execution. Since 2016, Emmerich has worked with a new painting technique, using stencils cut from vinyl flooring, which she covers with ink and then impresses onto canvas, paper or a wall. Referring to the visual language of advertising and Pop art, she creates images that both aestheticise and problematize the female body. She depicts the paradox of simultaneous attraction and repulsion, intimacy and cool detachment, seduction and critique. In this way, Emmerich succeeds in making the act of looking truly provocative. - Nina Folkersma About EMΣT | The National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens EMΣT | The National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens is the leading national institution for contemporary art and visual culture in Greece, and one of the flagship institutions in Southern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean.
