The Other Designs. Historical authenticity as artistic project

Beton7, Athens

30 October – 22 November, 2014

Adopting a critical viewpoint shared by many contemporary academics, the exhibition The Other Designs accentuates the institutionalisation of antiquity as “national heritage”, highlighting the way it has shaped an ideological framework on experiencing and performing a national identity. Through the paradigm of Greece and the multifaceted historical and symbolic projections that come along with it, the works of Natasa Biza, Roland Regner, Romy Rüegger, Vassilis Vlastaras and the accompanied publication with texts of international researchers contribute to the current re-examination of historical authenticity as a kind of “artistic” setup.
