ROMANTSO

After so long, we finally had the pleasure to host our first curator’s talk in person! Our guest speaker was Marina Fokidis, curator, writer, lecturer and also member of the Visual Arts Selection Committee for the 4th SNF Artist Fellowship Program.

Juxtaposing notions such as entitlement vs relevance, translocality vs global fiction, empathy vs exoticism, Marina elaborated on her curatorial practices and presented some of the major projects she has undertaken: the 3rd Thessaloniki Biennale as a member of the curatorial team, Documenta 14 where she served as Head of the Artistic Office in Athens, Kunsthalle Athena as the founding and artistic director, as well as the bi-annual arts and culture journal South as a State of Mind produced in Athens and distributed internationally that she founded before it temporarily became the @documenta14 journal for several years.
