CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
Contemporary creations animate the Benaki Museum collections. For the second consecutive year, three dynamic bodies, the Benaki Museum, Costa Navarino and Athens International Airport, join forces for culture with a unique exhibition project. Leveraging on the collection of historical representations of Greek costumes, distinguished Greek and foreign contemporary creators from the world of fashion and art, including Jean Paul Gaultier, present works inspired by traditional Greek costumes and endorse the infinitude of “greekness” in fashion and aesthetics. The new artworks are exhibited in two parallel venues, at Athens International Airport and at Costa Navarino from April to November 2017.
