Time, Form, Concept, National Archaeological Museum of Athens

Aggelika Korovessi: Time, Form, Concept presented within the National Archaeological Museum of Athens her sculptures across thirty rooms. On view from July through September 2013, the exhibition included a retrospective selection of the artist’s works from the late 1980s through to the present day and works specifically created for the museum spaces. Exploring the relationship between contemporary and ancient Greek sculpture, it aimed to provide the visitor with an opportunity to compare and contemplate art, not only from an artistic point of view but also from a sociological, philosophical and historical perspective.

Korovessi was the first contemporary artist to install such an inter-connecting exhibit within the museum. The exhibition was supported by the Greek Ministry of Culture and Tourism and was accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.

The exhibition was inaugurated on 4 July 2013 by the Deputy Minister of Education and Religious Affairs, Culture and Sports, Mr Kostas Tzavaras. The curation was undertaken by Dr Georgios Kakavas, Deputy Director of the National Archaeological Museum.
