Andreas Angelidakis
Demos

January 15, 2018–December 30, 2018
Museum of Modern Art Warsaw, Poland

The Department of Presence is a new public program at the Museum of of Modern Art Warsaw on Pańska Street.

The Department of Presence tests performative forms of engagement in a specially designed space, the heart of which is the installation Demos by Andreas Angelidakis, presented previously at Documenta 14 in Athens as part of the Parliament of Bodies program, devoted to democracy, sovereignty and hospitality in contemporary Europe. The department is divided into blocks—“residency programs” for the institution, research centres, collectives, as well as individual artists and researchers who invite the museum’s audience to negotiate positions and attitudes together.
