Alexandros Vasmoulakis at The Benaki Museum, Athens, Greece 'Mr Robinson Crusoe stayed home, Adventures of design in times of crisis'

25 February - 5 September 2021

Alexandros Vasmoulakis' work is included in the group exhibition Mr Robinson Crusoe stayed home, Adventures of design in times of crisis at The Benaki Museum, Athens, Greece. The exhibition proposes to reflect upon ‘craft as power’, as an ability or capacity to act in order to reclaim the knowledge of design and artistic autonomy. The research on Robinson Crusoe as a maker lies at the very centre of this narrative. The exhibition refers to the example set by Daniel Dafoe’s hero who, initially stuck at an impasse, reaches completion and proves his value when he is forced to act and to find solutions to problems he has never faced before.
