The promotion and support of the current Greek artistic production through scientific, theoretical and artistic research is the foundation of this new project of AICA - Hellas, aiming at a biennial repetition. Scholars of art history, critics, curators and artists come into dialogue and collaborate around a theme emerging from contemporary concerns. The inauguration of this exhibition series at EMST signals the importance of joint creativity and collaboration between theorists and artists.
Specifically, for Theorimata 2018, curators, art theorists and critics, members of the Greek section of the association, proposed up to three artists around the theme of Deductive and Axiomatic Systems in the belief that an artistic creation is the product of an analytical process and not just an expression of current dominant models.
The curators and artists who participate are the following:
- Anna Lascari, Maro Michalakakos, Αemilia Papaphilippou proposed by Sozita Goudouna
