Sigrid Merx curates program (Out)-Topias New Benaki Museum in Greece
Theatre scholar (Media and Performance) and Platform-Scenography have been invited to curate a program for the exhibition (Out)-Topias in the New Benaki Museum, Athens (Greece).
The exhibition deals with the political and social dimensions of public space as performance space. Platform-Scenography will present Between Realities #2: Athens: a live action research project in the city in which a group of scenographers, urban planners and architects collaboratively investigates public space from the point of view of ‘transitions’. The project is a follow-up of the award winning exhibition Between Realities #1: Prague and is part of Platform-Scenography's ongoing research into a scenographic methodology for understanding and investigating (public) space; an approach that focuses on thinking by doing. The exhibition runs from September, 22nd till November, 20th.
