The very first project, Matthew Barney and Elizabeth Peyton’s unforgettable “Blood of Two,” required a sunrise hike to watch a glass vessel full of pencil-and-blood drawings of mythical animals being dredged from underwater and carried by fisherman to the slaughterhouse in a ritual procession, where a dead shark was barbecued. It was DESTE Foundation’s annual exhibitions-mounted around a former slaughterhouse overlooking the sea and opening with a post-Art Basel gala for art-world luminaries including Jeffrey Deitch, Massimiliano Gioni, and Jeff Koons-that established the island as an international art mecca. These Intrepid Art Handlers Had to Deliver Kara Walker’s Sugar Sphinx Up a Greek Mountain In Parikia, the port town of Paros, the Archaeological Museum will host the contemporary art exhibition “Orange Water 3,” curated by Apostolis Zolotakis, with works by Greek and Dutch artists Ad Arma, Αngelika Vaxevanidou, Katerina Kaloudi, Eugenia Coumantaros, Jan Mulder, Gert van Oortmerssen, Apostolos Fanakidis, and Dimitra Chanioti (July 16-October 21). This year the gallery presents five works playing out variations on a theme in different mediums by American artist Wyatt Kahn (July 23-August 31). Swiss dealer Eva Presenhuber runs a space there called Kastro, located in the old town, that has hosted shows of artists Joe Bradley, Oscar Tuazon, and Sam Falls since 2014. Courtesy Eva Presenhuberįrom Syros, a one-hour ferry ride to nearby Paros and a five-minute boat from Pounda will take you to serene Antiparos. Tom Hanks is a resident of the island, and Madonna is reported to be a fan, and yet the tiny island remains tranquil and unpretentious.

The festival will close with a Balinese-themed celebration in a quarry, where avant-garde musician Mike Cooper and the Syros Gamelan Orchestra will contribute to a multimedia extravaganza. Curated around various meanings of the term “Cracking Up,” both comedic and tragic, this year’s program includes a drive-in double feature of Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom and Nightmare, by Errikos Andreou live scores for 1920s films performed by DJ Yves Tumor in a former tannery an audiovisual performance by Elektronik Meditation and a workshop by filmmaker Martha Colburn, all in traditional and unconventional sites around the elegant neoclassical city Hermoúpolis, capital of the Cyclades. Your first stop might be the Syros International Film Festival (July 14-19), co-founded in 2013 by young Americans Jacob Moe and Cassandra Celestin to occupy a distinctive niche among the art, music, and film genres.
