Event map
The Rules is the first exhibition of the research project Transition Lands. The initiative explores behavioural responses to former detention environments and isolated communities through the production of site specific works in historic sites that were once used as confinement places.
About
The exhibition is hosted by Tsitsanis Museum, an infamous state prison repurposed as a public museum and research centre in 2016.
Based on the history, the records and the former prison policies of the Greek museum, Antonis Maros created a series of site specific performances inviting the audience to reflect upon the relationship of continuity that exists between the old prison and the museum: an active engagement producing a system of knowledge around how physical, architectural spaces are inhabited and the embodied experiences of exclusion and confinement they produce.
The Rules were supported by the Municipality of Trikala and authorised to take place at the archaeological site of the museum by the Department of Antiquities of the Greek Ministry of Culture.
The exhibition is curated by Marion Emmanuela Maniou.
