Join artist Iris Touliatou for a tour of NEON City Project 2024 | Before and after science at the National Hellenic Research Foundation.

Before and after science unfolds in the outdoor space, the lobby, and the Library of Science, Technology and Culture “K.Th. Dimaras”. It explores the history, infrastructure, and operation of the National Hellenic Research Foundation: its interior and surroundings, the structural materials and immaterial structures that shape its organisation, and the human relations that fuel its function. Before and after science reflects on the visibility – or invisibility – of the elements that comprise the Foundation’s entity; on the accessibility of the premises; on information; and on the production and dissemination of knowledge. It examines its institutional and social role as well as the transition from a national to a public, personal, and emotional field.

The exhibition is part of the program City Project 2024, an initiative conceived and commissioned annually by NEON to a Greek artist for the creation of a new work to be exhibited in a public space for a specific time period.
