The poignant and tragic tale of the bohemian poet Napoleon Lapathiotis, who lived from 1888 to 1944… As a homosexual, drug addict, and communist, Lapathiotis caused controversy in the society of Athens, especially within the social class from which he hailed. He was one of the most iconic figures of his era, not only due to the profound impact of his poems that bore the imprints of his life but also for the scandals he sparked.
Nam June Paik was video art’s pioneer (1932 –2006).

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
