+THLIPSIS
20.07 — 20.08.2024
Accessible throughout the day (from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM)
Description
The exhibition +THLIPSIS explores the concept of inner conflict, as it is manifested in a wide array of contrasts, such as the “principle of pleasure” versus the “principle of reality”, theory versus action, faith versus the instinct governing the human body, the causality of the natural environment versus the inclination to discover and be curious, discipline versus negation, as well as the natural versus the metaphysical.
Eight artists interact with the conceptually, emotionally, religiously, and socially charged site of the Convent of Ursulines. It is a complex developed in the 19th century, a pioneering project for Greek standards, which served as a social, intellectual, and educational centre in Tinos for decades. Its desolation sparks the challenge to restore it both locally and nationally, not only to reveal its local history, but also to highlight its visceral connection to the major cultural hubs of the time and, by extension, to the European cultural scene.
