The exhibition Where Do We Go from Here curated by artists Nansy Charitonidou and Bill Psarras, part of the Primarolia Festival 2022, Trajectories, takes place at the old Railway Station of Aigio; conceived by Primarolia organisation.
Current exhibition focuses on the liminal character of two eras at the end of 19th century in Greece: currant crisis (1890) following fifty decades of wealth and the coming of railway as a technological precursor of 20th century. A transitional era of currant crisis, which revealed human and social boundaries between currant workers and producers; a tampering of the personal and the collective boundary; followed by rallies and revolting farmers heading towards Athens via train.
Curators and invited artists get inspired by the poetic, political, social and universal implications of boundaries in our times where boundaries, distance, proximity, mobilities and geopolitical frictions are processes under constant negotiation. Boundaries between people, locations, two eras. the old Railway Station of Aigio (1895) will be approached as an expanded curatorial experiment: spaces of transition, waiting rooms, departure platforms and meeting points will be interwoven through new commissioned artworks at the intersections of performance art, installations and new media practices.
Such works reveal new thresholds of experience within a station-metaphor for an era, a society, a human life. Trajectories, histories and journeys in search of the next place and future step – parallel and crossing trajectories create the herma for artistic production. Where do we go from here? A question of direction, of journey and reconsideration of the next step.
With the support of NEON.
