To collect contemporary art: Limnos Land Art

In the beginning of June 2024, and continuing annually, a new land art installation emerges, breathing new life into the landscape. This yearly evolution mirrors the island’s natural rhythm and the dynamic nature of contemporary art. ‘Limnos Land Art’ is an immersive project that transforms the landscape in front of Keros Blue Hotel in Limnos, Greece, into an evolving gallery of land art installations. Each year, ‘To Collect Contemporary Art” team will carefully sculpt the land to reveal new perspectives and narratives.

For its inaugural installation, we are proud to present Kalina Dimitrova’s ‘Tumbleweed.”

Tumbleweed

Site-specific installation by Kalina Dimitrova

The installation prototype is a group of local plants with an unusual approach to reproduction and survival. They overcome huge distances with the help of the wind and slowly enter new territories. When they mature, they break away from their roots and, unlike their static relatives dependent on insects and birds, they spread their own seeds, floating around the world. The group as a whole is called Tumbleweed, and it encounters thousands of pieces of human-derived waste, barriers, and obstacles, finding a way to overcome these to continue its course and survival. It is materialized in the gallery as a sphere of parallels, meridians, and all sorts of chaotic vectors of natural or cultural origin, intertwined in an unbreakable sphere.

Keros Blue Hotel

Keros Blue is a seaside complex, which was opened in 2020. It is located between two beaches, within walking distance of each, and on a 10 km sand strip, with dunes that enter far into the island. Keros Blue offers its guests a water sports station with instruction, rental, storage, and rescue. Our station is in partnership with KBC. The wind is ideal for our kite and windsurfer guests. The bay has a sandy bottom with shallow safe waters.

 The wildlife and natural experience are well complimented by unique luxury accommodations with massive thick stone masonry walls, large windows, design artist bathrooms, and large wood verandas within steps from your parking spot.
