The Way We Live Together Now returns at JOEY RAMONE, moving from its original Limassol apartment* to a gallery space. The exhibition translates the intimacy of its first edition into a new context, where domestic gestures, everyday objects, and the poetics of life meet public reflection and dialogue. While the gallery differs architecturally from the apartment, the works continue to explore hospitality, coexistence, and the ways we share space and attention.
The exhibition brings together artists whose practices investigate memory, ritual, social connection, and the intersection of the personal with the collective. Heyer Thurnheer blends personal reflection with collective experience through drawings, installations, and performative gestures. Can Sun transforms ordinary materials into playful, critical sculptures and videos, highlighting the absurdities and beauty embedded in everyday life. Domas van Wijk reconfigures found objects into inventive narratives, exploring creativity, humor, and presence within shared spaces. Yasser Ballemans creates interactive platforms that encourage collaboration and reflection, examining evolving relationships between artists, audiences, and communities. Maja Klaassens investigates thresholds, memory, and repetition in domestic and natural environments, revealing the complexity of seemingly ordinary gestures. Kosmas Nikolaou reinterprets archival domestic imagery, prompting reflection on everyday rituals and collective memory. Yesum Yoon crafts sculptural, creature-like forms that explore impermanence, flux, and transformation. Geraldo Dos Santos investigates memory, migration, ritual, and cultural hybridity, creating layered installations that function as mnemonic devices — spaces where devotion, transformation, and cultural transmission remain in motion rather than fixed. Kiki Petratou presents Places We Meet, a quilt constructed from tote bags collected at art fairs and cultural events worldwide. It serves as both invitation and metaphor: a material tracing of encounters, networks, and shared spaces that connect us, echoing the exhibition’s broader exploration of hospitality and coexistence.
In this new gallery context, the works engage with corners, thresholds, and surfaces, inviting playful, reflective, and unexpected interactions. The exhibition maintains the intimacy, humor, and whimsicality of the original apartment setting while opening new conversations on how we live together, encounter difference, and connect through imagination and shared experience. From domestic intimacy to public reflection, The Way We Live Together Now asks us to consider our relationships to space, to others, and to the everyday gestures that shape collective life.
