本次展覽的最初構(gòu)想是圍繞動態(tài)、多元以及希臘藝術(shù)家與世界其他藝術(shù)家共有的個人價值觀，試圖強調(diào)個體的主觀敘述、經(jīng)歷與對人類境況的詮釋是如何融入社會與具體的現(xiàn)實之中的，從而形成一種獨特視角以展現(xiàn)世間的全部存在。這也是為什么我們選擇“身體”“靈魂”與“地方”這三個具有根本性意義的詞匯來詮釋藝術(shù)實踐?！暗胤健笔侵肝幕尘埃梢愿錾赜嘘P(guān)，也可以隨著藝術(shù)家游民般的遷移而變動 ；“靈魂”是指情感與主觀性 ；而“身體”，不僅是一種基本的創(chuàng)作主題，同時還成為一個強有力的自我表達(dá)的工具，從而愈來愈受到行為藝術(shù)的關(guān)注。

The exhibition was conceived around the axis of dynamism,pluralism and personal values that Greek artists share with global environment. It tries to highlight how subjective narrations,experiences and interpretations of the human conditions are immersed into the social and physical reality, giving forms to unique positions that reveal the totality of existence. This is the reason why the words “body”, “soul” and “place” were chosen,as signifiers of the fundamental parameters that inform artistic practice. “Place” is a signifier for cultural background, which has to do with birthplace and in the same time with artists’choice to move around places as nomads. “Soul” is connected with emotion and subjectivity, whereas “body”, except from being a basic subject matter, also becomes a strong vehicle for self–expression, attracting more attention in the context of performative arts.
