On the occasion of the exhibition Jeff Koons: “Venus of Lespugue”, the Museum of Cycladic Art presents Cycladic Late Night on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 19:00 to 24:00. Visitors will be able to explore the exhibition and attend live music performances and a DJ set throughout the spaces of the Stathatos Mansion.
Venus Volcanism, Anna Vs June & Jan Van Angelopoulos, and OKO DJ engage with the questions raised by the exhibition around the female form, fertility and the primordial body as a central bearer of meaning. What remains unchanged when the same symbol travels across 40,000 years, shifting in materiality from mammoth ivory to polished steel?
Venus Volcanism is a performer who creates atmospheric soundscapes, moving between tradition and experimental electronic sound. She explores the voice as a vessel of cultural memory through drones, field recordings, analogue and digital synthesizers, building hybrid ritual sound worlds.
Anna Vs June & Jan Van Angelopoulos present their album Mutable Ground / Μεταβλητό Έδαφος in Greece for the first time, a sonic work for percussion, voice and live sampling. Processed drums, fragmented voices and dynamic patterns compose a dialogue between acoustic and electronic elements.
OKO DJ (Marine Tordjemann), from France, one of the most forward-thinking DJs of her generation, closes the evening with a DJ set in the garden of the Stathatos Mansion. Her set draws inspiration from the exhibition, nature and the Divine Feminine, blending experimental dub, industrial folk, ’90s rock and spoken word.
The exhibition Jeff Koons: “Venus of Lespugue”, on view at the Stathatos Mansion until August 31, 2026, brings prehistoric and contemporary art into dialogue, exploring how the figure of Venus has travelled through more than 40,000 years of human creation. At its centre is the first public presentation of Jeff Koons’ Balloon Venus Lespugue (Orange), from the Homem Sonnabend Collection, shown in dialogue with ten Paleolithic “Venus” figures from major museums in France, Italy, Austria and the Czech Republic.
The exhibition unfolds as a dialogue of forms and ideas that transcends time, highlighting how the transformation of materials, from mammoth ivory and limestone to reflective stainless steel, may alter or preserve the sacred meaning of the form.
