Mnemosyne Projects will join the Open House at the Old Carpet Factory Recording Studio & Art Residency on the Island of Hydra, Greece. Hosted by Stephan Colloredo-Mansfeld, this inaugural weeklong event brings together Hydra’s vibrant creative community, featuring friends and collaborators such as Hydra Book Club, Hyper Hypo, Michael McGregor, Cabinet by the Sea Magazine, Monday to Sunday Book, The ReefLine, Rafael Indiana, Marcin Masecki, and more.
“MARBLE RIDDLES” EXHIBITION
During the Open House week, from June 22 to June 27, 2025 Mnemosyne Projects will unveil Marble Riddles, an art exhibition featuring the evocative works of two artists Holly Biörklund and Esteban Fuentes de Maria. Curated by Tatiana Gecmen-Waldek, the exhibition will present newly commissioned marble pieces, each engaging in a dialogue between materiality and mystery. The exhibition will explore the inherent dualities of marble, its historical weight and contemporary resonance, inviting viewers into a space where stone becomes a canvas for riddles both ancient and new.
LIVE PAINTING PERFORMANCE
A special live painting performance by Esteban Fuentes de Maria will take place on Wednesday, June 25 at 7:00pm in the garden of the Old Carpet Factory.
MNEMOSYNE CLUB X RAFAEL INDIANA
On Wednesday, June 25, 2025, Mnemosyne Club x Rafael Indiana will present an evening of conversation and craftsmanship, featuring Rafael Cemo Çetin, an Istanbul-based artisan and the visionary founder of Rafael Indiana. During the talk, Çetin will reflect on his journey as a designer and craftsman, sharing insights into the creative process behind his jewelry, which he meticulously produces in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar. Having spent years honing his craft there, he has embraced the title of esnaf—a term signifying a local artisan deeply rooted in the traditions and community of their trade.
