A Greek Billionaire is converting an old tobacco factory in Athens into a cultural center. The debut show in 2021 will feature work by
Michael Rakowitz (SMVisS ’98), Glenn Ligon, and Danh Vo.
Set to open next year with an exhibition featuring international artists including
Michael Rakowitz,
Glenn Ligon, and
Danh Vo, the launch will coincide with the 200th anniversary of Greece’s revolution against Ottoman Empire, which led to the foundation of the modern Greek state.
The inaugural exhibition, “Portals,” will be curated by Madeleine Grynsztejn, director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and Neon director Elina Kountouri, reports the
Art Newspaper. It will be on view from June to December 2021.
