The value of art is redefined through the actions that will take place on Thursday 19 December 2024, at 8:00 PM, at MOMus-Alex Mylonas Museum, as part of the exhibition “Rania Emmanouilidou. Under the Radar”. The actions include the presentation of a collective work by Rania Emmanouilidou in collaboration with the artist Lia Psoma, as well as the holding of an exchange auction in collaboration with the artists Eugenia Grammenou and Virginia Mastrogiannaki, upon the invitation of the artist.
At the auction, Emmanouilidou’s artworks that will be made available will not be exchanged for money, but for objects or services offered by the participants. Their value is determined by the creativity and cooperation of the public. If two people desire the same artwork, the audience decides with a live vote who will acquire which. This particular experiment challenges conventional notions of value, raising questions about the affordability of art, the economic well-being of artists and the potential for economies based on solidarity. In the barter auction, participants have the opportunity to reconsider the concept of value and engage in a process that promotes collectivity, creativity and solidarity, beyond conventional economic structures.
The action is part of the exhibition “Rania Emmanouilidou.
Under the Radar”, which highlights issues of gender, identity and politics through the artist’s dynamic and multidimensional creations. The exhibition will remain open until January 26, 2025. Curated by: Thouli Misirloglou, Artistic Director of MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art.
Participation in the event is through an entrance ticket to the venue. Tickets can be purchased online via the ComeTogether platform here or in person at the Museum Reception, half an hour before the start of the event, subject to availability. For information, call 210 3215717.
