Bazeos Tower
July 23– September 2, 2011
Daily: 10:00 - 17:00
Opening: Saturday, July 23, at 20:30

The exhibition organized every year at the Bazeos Tower, under the auspices of the Naxos Festival, is a result of exploration, attraction and cooperation. This year, the organizers revisit the photographic archives of the Benaki Museum, and, together with the curators of the archives, retrieve some very original and interesting material.
The exhibition is about photographs that would have never been put on display under normal circumstances: images that, despite their accuracy from a photographic point of view, have lost their narrative context.
In an archival photographic collection the loss of narrative context is the result of the partial or total destruction of the original material. This damage is mainly the result of unavoidable chemical reactions within its substrate, worsened by unsuitable environmental conditions in their storage prior to their induction into the Benaki Museum collections. What sparked the creation of this exhibition were the contents of drawer XXII, part of a metal filing cabinet located in an area housing the Archive’s original photographic material.
The contents of this “Drawer XXII” were an integral part of the archives of many well-known photographers such as Nicholas Tombazis, Dimitris Harissiades, Pericles Papahatzidakis, and Nelly’s and, despite extensive chemical decay to the substrate, they had been preserved. Obviously these images are not representative of the body of work of these photographers nor had they been stored with the intention of ever being put on display.
The “beauty” of decay was the source of inspiration for Benaki Museum photographer Leonidas Kourgiantakis. The “destroyed” negatives have been approached from a fresh perspective and were developed into images of intense aesthetic interest.
The presentation of these photographs in Naxos can be seen as a counterpoint to the ravages of time that are prevalent on the 17th century tower that hosts the exhibition. In an environment of this kind, the viewer is called upon to look beyond the apparent decay, from a personal perspective, to discover the “beauty”….to discover the essence within the remains. ‘Less is more’ after all, is the theme of the 11th Naxos Festival, which is characterized by presentations that are rich in content but minimal in form.

Curators: Leonidas Kourgiantakis, Aliki Tsirgialou

Coordinator: Marios Vazeos (AEON)

We are a family of five traveling to Naxos, July 4-9; mom, dad and three teens. We would like to go on a fishing excursion or something low key as hiring someone to take us out fishing on their boat. We would also like to go kyaking - I have heard this is possible, but only find info about canoeing - perhaps this is what it is called in Greece? What area would have these rentals and lastly, are there such things as horse or donkey trips to villages and sight seeing, besides just the beaches?

Further I wonder how long the Naxos Festival will last (up at the Bazeos Tower)? Is it over for the summer or do they still host cultural events? We were on Naxos this May and went on several events, and now returning in September we wonder if there will be something Similar?

Could you advise me whether there is daily ferry from Naxos to Mykonos daily from 20May09 onwards? Can't locate the ferry schedule from those big companies?

How long will it take? What is the time schedule?

Could we join a day tour from Naxos to visit Delos?

Appreciate your advice.

I wanted to know where would be the best place for me and my family to stay at during our visit in Naxos in June. We have a 10 year old son. We want to enjoy a quiet, clear water, sandy beach. We also want to be able to visit the naxos sites, town, and eat in different restaurants. Ideally I would like a beach location to stay at, and one that offers transportation to the naxos town sites.

Would it be useful to rent a car while we are there? How much would it cost to do that?


thanks so much.
