From 12.11.2025 to 30.09.2026
The programme of Space in Between continues with “Changing Grounds – Stories Beyond the Record: The National Gallery Archive”, an archival exhibition by Natasa Biza, curated by Elpiniki Meintani.
The exhibition presents a series of new works by the artist, drawing on material from the National Gallery’s archive and bringing to light lesser-known or unseen aspects of its history and collections. Through selected archival episodes, Biza composes narratives that illuminate details and stories often overlooked or marginalised.
The exhibition seeks to activate the archive not only as a source of documentation, but also as a tool for dialogue between past and present, through contemporary artistic and curatorial practices.
The result of intensive artistic research, Biza’s installation takes as its point of departure archival art and the study of material culture, approaching both as forms of institutional critique. This research has shaped three thematic axes for the exhibition: the Gallery Building, its People, and its Collections.
Biza’s complex artistic project comprises four works that draw on a broad spectrum of artistic media: video, fine-art prints of archival photographs, brass engravings, constructions, a site-specific installation, reproductions of archival documents, and an artist’s book.
Biza’s work explores the nature of the archive as at once record and construction, posing reflective questions about memory, history, identity, and oblivion.
The public programme accompanying the exhibition will include themed tours, educational activities, and the publication of a bilingual catalogue.
