Lex Hortorum was a customary law of the Italian Renaissance with its roots in Ancient Rome: owners granted public access to their gardens, which were considered places of recreation, reflection, and philosophical coexistence. The group exhibition Lex Hortorum, The law of the garden brings this idea into the present day. A space of privilege temporarily becomes accessible and is transformed into a space for dialogue and shared life. At the same time, the exhibition Lex Hortorum, The law of the garden supports the need to safeguard the character and memory of a historic suburb of Athens.
The exhibition Lex Hortorum, The law of the garden aspires to be organized on an annual basis, activating the garden during different seasons of the year and showcasing different versions of the relationships created with the artworks over time.
Address: 15 Antheon Street, Psychico
Exhibition duration: September 30 – November 1, 2026
