Metaxis: A Collection of Ideas and Objects by FUTUREFORMS

This exhibition takes as its point of departure the Greek word metaxi, referring to an in‑between condition—belonging to two realms at once. METAXIS explores what happens in between: between ideas, objects, spaces, and ways of seeing. It reflects on the dynamic state of being in the middle of things, a shifting tension or oscillation rather than a fixed condition. The exhibited projects move fluidly between perception and imagination, inside and outside, presence and absence, art and architecture. What does it mean to create public art and architecture in the 21st century?
