Exhibition Duration
May 28 – October 11, 2026
The Alekos Fassianos Museum is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition of its Contemporary Intervention Program, Malvina Panagiotidi: Bucolic Fever. Dialogue with Alekos Fassianos. The exhibition by visual artist Malvina Panagiotidi presents a newly commissioned body of site-specific works created in dialogue with a lesser-known yet highly fertile aspect of Alekos Fassianos’s oeuvre: design.
Malvina Panagiotidi explores the archive and overall body of work of Alekos Fassianos, expanding the boundaries of his visual vocabulary. She transforms the traces of her research into a fluid artistic landscape where the boundaries between artwork and object, use and desire, dissolve. Reality is deconstructed and poetically reassembled, allowing a world to emerge in which the everyday becomes dreamlike residue. Hybrid design works merge human, natural, and imaginary elements, moving between the familiar and the uncanny.
THE EXHIBITION IS SUPPORTED BY THE STAVROS NIARCHOS FOUNDATION (SNF).
THE PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED BY DELOITTE AND KARAVIAS ART INSURANCE.

About the Contemporary Intervention Program
The Contemporary Intervention Program is the museum’s visual arts initiative aimed at supporting contemporary Greek art through a creative dialogue between the work of Alekos Fassianos and contemporary artists. The program invites a contemporary artist to create a site-specific intervention within the Museum, engaging in dialogue with the building, paintings, ceramics, and design works of Alekos Fassianos.
Participating artists are invited to place their works — installations, sculptures, or other art forms — throughout the Museum spaces, enhancing interaction with Fassianos’s holistic artistic universe. The program’s primary goal is to highlight contemporary Greek art and foster intergenerational dialogue among artists, while also offering audiences new ways of interpreting art.
Through each exhibition, the Museum seeks to open new discussions on academic, philosophical, and social levels, promoting the cultural heritage of Greece.
