Athens Intersection 2020
Contemporary societies during times of anxiety and disruption.
In 2020 the worldwide epidemic unexpectedly disrupted the “normality” of everyday life, forcing new concerns and priorities. As societies entered into rapid changes, so did the art world respond to the new living and working conditions. Consequently, APART's program was deeply influenced by the evolving situation. New concepts and artistic practices emerged, voicing the issues and concerns of the artists and the public.
