ICONOSTASI FOR THE FUTURE
Curated by Christian Schirmer - Penny Paspali - Despοina Zoupa
Title: Iconostasi for the future / Εικονοστάσι για το μέλλον
Description: A road-side iconostasi contains the directions of how to navigate this and the rest of the shrines together with writing material. A pile of rubble sits on its base covering it. The construction material serves as blank pages ready to receive quotes, questions, invitations, reference lists, links, or any kind of prompt that will inspire people to use this rubble and the bits of collective insights accumulated to (re)build, transform, renovate, conserve, repurpose. The aim is community building following principles of autonomy, self-organization, voluntary association, direct democracy, and mutual aid. The iconostasi is open to vandalism, appropriation, and transformation by any passer-by. It can be used as both an introduction and a conclusion to the whole experiment, inviting visitors to engage with it and contribute to the pile of rubble the insight they gained from this experience
Site/s: The iconstasi will be placed in the school yard. It can be used as both an introduction and a conclusion to the whole experiment, inviting visitors to engage with it and contribute to the pile of rubble the insight they gained from this experience. Eventually it will be placed on the side of the road to disrupt the familiar image of this kind of shrines for those lost on the road.
