Chris Retsina: O Nee! Ik ben uit van de mode

In 2026, the exhibition “O No! I'm Out of Fash” by Chris Retsina, presented at Ptolemy, offers an ironic look at fashion culture and its ephemeral consumption. Inspired by diverse sources such as audio debates on ‘Last of the Summer Retina’ and reflections on the tectonic movements of the Earth, the exhibition explores the complex relationship between the individual and trends. Retsina, a Greek-American artist, uses acrylic paintings on canvas to question the contemporary obsession with constant renewal. The work draws inspiration from the work of Florent Frizet and his writings on consumers and self-hypnosis, exploring themes such as shifts in mentality and creative processes. The exhibition presents a collection of objects, materials, and images, inviting reflection on time, space, and the meaning of objects. Free and open from April 20 to 12, 2026, it offers a unique visual and conceptual experience.
