It is an exhibition with very strong artworks, some visitors may find them provocative, others scary and others incredibly interesting. As every year, “Awe” is a well set-up exhibition, where the dialogue is absolutely harmonic, with artworks that can surprise even the most demanding art lover. The artworks that stand out are those by: Edouard Sacaillan, Cornelia Parker, Nina Papaconstantinou and Stelios Faitakis. If you find yourself in Hydra Island, your visit is a must.-Dimitris Lempesis
