Malvina Panagiotidi
In Dialogue with Alekos Fassianos: Bucolic Fever
May 27, 2026–October 11, 2026Alekos Fassianos Museum
The Alekos Fassianos Museum is pleased to announce the upcoming Contemporary Intervention Program exhibition, Malvina Panagiotidi: Bucolic Fever . A Dialogue with Alekos Fassianos. The exhibition by artist Malvina Panagiotidi presents a new section of commissioned works, designed in situ, in dialogue with a lesser-known but particularly fruitful aspect of Alekos Fassianos’ work: design.
Malvina Panagiotidi explores the archive and the entire work of Alekos Fassianos, expanding the boundaries of his visual vocabulary. She transforms the traces of research into a fluid visual field where the boundaries between work and object, use and desire, are dissolved. Reality is decomposed and poetically recomposed, allowing a world to emerge where the everyday is transformed into a dreamlike trace. Hybrid design works merge human, natural and imaginary elements and move between the familiar and the unfamiliar.
The exhibition is supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).
The program is supported by Deloitte & Karavias Art Insurance.

A few words about the Contemporary Intervention Program
The Contemporary Intervention Program is the museum’s visual arts program that aims to enhance contemporary Greek art through the creative dialogue between the work of Alekos Fassianos and the works of contemporary artists. The program invites a contemporary artist to carry out an artistic intervention in the Museum space, developing a dialogue with the building, paintings, ceramics and design of Alekos Fassianos. Participating artists are invited to place their works – installations, sculptures or other forms of art – in the Museum spaces, enhancing the interaction with the holistic artistic creation of Fasianos. The main goal of the program is to highlight contemporary Greek art and strengthen the intergenerational dialogue between artists, while at the same time seeking to offer the public new ways of reading art. Through each exhibition, the Museum wishes to open new discussions on an academic, philosophical and social level, promoting the cultural heritage of our country.
