A contemporary art exhibition curated by Gigi Argyropoulou, Vassilis Noulas and Kostas Tzimoulis organized by The Eight, a critical institute for arts and politics, with the support of Greek Ministry of Culture
Instituting or How Is an Archipelago Formed? is a contemporary art exhibition that brings together artistic works, archival materials, and past actions to engage with processes of instituting and examine how such processes form ephemeral constellations within a distinct landscape. By focusing on artistic and curatorial practices, it investigates their relationship to the city’s imaginary as well as to individual and collective histories. “Instituting or How an archipelago is formed?” seeks to function as a living archive—one that is continually evolving— through transient gestures, artworks, and incomplete documents. Together, they ephemerally sketch reconfigurations of urban and social narratives and new relations between the past, the present and what is yet to come.
