Theorimata, the exhibition / institution of the Association of Greek Art Critics AICA Hellas, member of the International Association of Art Critics AICA International, is presented for the third time and takes place at the Athens School of Fine Arts from 3rd November to 3rd December 2023 at the “Nikos Kessanlis” Exhibition Hall of the Athens School of Fine Arts.

The institution was proposed and named in 2017 by the then President of AICA Hellas Emmanuel Mavrommatis, after many difficult years for the organization. The creation of this institution was intended to be repeated every two years, in the form of an exhibition and to invite AICA Hellas members to propose up to three artists on a specific theme. The selection of artists and works would reflect Greek artistic production and the process of its creation.

The first exhibition was presented in 2018, with curators, critics, art history scholars, and artists conversing, collaborating and intervening in the artistic field around a theme that will be differentiated and shaped according to the characteristics and key issues of each period.

For the exhibition Theorimata 3: BODY. A Field of Competition, 25 curators, art theorists and critics, members of the Greek section of AICA, propose 58 artists who, focusing on the Human/ Non-human/ Post-human Body, will promote the function of art as an alternative educational tool with the potential for dynamic intervention in the social fabric.

The attempt to understand contemporary correlations concerning our perceptions of physicality, through the understanding of the multiple identities that coexist in the public sphere, runs through the exhibition in which installations, constructions, sculptures, paintings, photographs, drawings, videos and actions are presented.

The exhibition is accompanied by a bilingual catalogue (Greek-English) with introductory texts by Artemis Potamianou, Emmanuel Mavrommatis, and Elli Leventaki, the curators’ texts on the works of the exhibition, photographs of the works and biographies of the curators and artists.
