Documenta 14 completed\u00a0 its journey in Athens, having the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (EMST) as its main exhibition venue. An important part of the EMST collection traveled to Germany, to be part of documenta 14 program in Kassel (10\/6-17\/9\/17). The exhibition ANTIDORON. The EMST Collection <\/em>occupies the whole emblematic building of Fridericianum. It comprises 82 artists and 180 works and it is curated by the Director of EMST, Katerina Koskina, supported by Stamatis Schizakis and Tina Pandi, Assistant Curators, and Iro Nikolakea in the Architectural design. It is presented in the framework of the Museum\u2019s series EMST in the World<\/em>.<\/p>\n The exhibition at the Fridericianum marks the first time that the most part of the EMST collection is presented outside Greece, through a double relocation that renders EMST\u2019s home, one of the main venues of documenta 14 in Athens, and the Fridericianum, traditionally the centerpiece of a documenta, the temporary home of EMST\u2019s collection.<\/p>\n EMST began creating its collection in 2000. Its acquisitions now include more than 1,100 works by Greek and international artists from the 1960s onward. The exhibition ANTIDORON. The EMST Collection<\/em> is an adapted version of the extensive museological study that will be displayed in full at the EMST spaces. Presented in the Fridericianum, the birthplace of documenta and the first public museum in Europe, the exhibition deals with issues of border crossings, diasporas, cultural exchange, existential quests, and mythologies, as well as personal and collective memories. Additionally, the Fridericianum\u2019s brief tenure as Germany\u2019s first parliamentary building makes it the most appropriate venue in which to show the works of several artists, active during the troubled postwar era and the ensuing decades of political upheaval and revolutionary re-imagination of society.<\/p>\n While the presentation of the collection maintains its international scope, it also emphasizes the presence of pioneering Greek artists, highlighting and revisiting their national and international journeys.<\/p>\n The title embodies the mutual respect of both institutions, documenta 14 and EMST independently of their diverse commitments and missions, to discourse and to reinterpret essential issues and visual language. It deals with concepts such as trading, exchanging, sharing, giving and offering Antidoron (\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03af\u03b4\u03c9\u03c1\u03bf\u03bd, literally the return of a gift) or Antidanion (\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03b4\u03ac\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9o, the return of a loan either linguistic, cultural, or financial). The prefix \u201canti\u201d reveals a distinct position and consequently a view, not necessarily opposed to, but departing from a different point in order to communicate, to argue, to bridge, to converge, and to accept each other\u2019s\u2019 stances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Documenta 14 completed\u00a0 its journey in Athens, having the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (EMST) as its main exhibition venue.
