NEON and the Acropolis Museum present the second part of the trilogy Michael Rakowitz & Ancient Cultures featuring Lamassu of Nineveh (2018).
Lamassu of Nineveh (2018) is part of Michael Rakowitz’s ongoing series The Invisible Enemy Should not Exist (2006-ongoing) and was originally commissioned for the Fourth Plinth in London’s Trafalgar Square.
The Athens installation brings the Lamassu into an immediate dialogue with multiple layers of history and memory: the archaeological excavation visible beneath the museum, the sacred landscape of the Acropolis above, the modern city around it, and the contemporary architectural space of the museum itself.
