AN INTERESTING EXHIBITION that addresses the issue of Third Age, seeing it as an opportunity for a rebirth of sorts, will be opening to the public at AndieArt Studio Gallery on Wednesday, November 12, 7pm. The exhibition, entitled “The Third Spring”, is inspired by the book of the same name by Gogo Atzoletaki. The works of the exhibition, curated by art historian Annita Patsouraki, are inspired by the book, excerpts of which will be read out by actors at the opening, along with speaches by Atzoletaki and Patsouraki.

A few words about the book “The Third Spring”: Alexandra, living in isolation and loneliness, counts her years — and surely, they are many. She now finds herself in the “grey zone” of her life… But she is neither as old nor as sick as others believe. And those “others” are none other than her children — her son and especially her daughter-in-law — who no longer want the grandmother around in their luxurious home, a home Alexandra herself helped them acquire. So how can they get rid of the “old lady”? Where could they send her? She is sent to a nursing home, where she finds a new life, as an artist’s model and muse.
