MAGNUS TEMPUS 360° OPENS MEDITERRANEAN ARTS PROGRAMME WITH ELENA ADAMOU’S FIRST ITALIAN SOLO EXHIBITION.
MONTESILVANO / PESCARA, ITALY - Cyprus-based artist Elena Adamou will present her first solo exhibition in Italy this June with Iconographies (Tiny Resistance, Crevices and Other Creatures) at primopiano, an independent exhibition space near Pescara on Italy’s Adriatic coast.
The exhibition marks the opening chapter of YEAR II: ROUTES & RESIDUES, the new annual programme by Magnus Tempus 360°, the Cyprus-based cultural platform founded and directed by Halime Eleni Özdemir di Larusso.
What remains after we move through a place?
What pathways do we build that endure?
Unfolding across Cyprus, Italy and the southern Mediterranean, Routes & Residues traces the movement of artists, histories, materials, ecologies and ideas through research-led residencies, exhibitions, publications and institutional partnerships.
Following the inaugural Ecoscapes residency in Nicosia and the first edition of Existential Licence in London, Year II expands the Magnus Tempus 360° network through residencies, exhibitions and research-led collaborations across the Mediterranean.
Curated by Martina Marini Misterioso and Halime Eleni Özdemir di Larusso, the exhibition brings together embroidered textiles, botanical dyes and installation works exploring endangered Cypriot flora alongside invasive plant species commonly found growing through cracks and pavements across Mediterranean cities. Curatorial text is contributed by Erica Romano.
Through slow textile processes and direct engagement with plant matter, Adamou’s practice considers fragility, resilience and ecological adaptation across shared Mediterranean landscapes. The works shift attention toward overlooked forms of plant life and the quiet forms of resistance embedded within them.
The exhibition follows Adamou’s participation in Ecoscapes, a residency programme initiated in Nicosia by Magnus Tempus 360°. The exhibition is commissioned and produced by Magnus Tempus 360° in partnership with primopiano and Producer 360°, with support from the Cyprus Deputy Ministry of Culture.
