Private Guided Tour of Irene Y. Panagopoulos Collection

The Irene Y. Panagopoulos Collection, opened its second exhibition, “Everything I Know Is a Borrowed Map”, curated by Akis Kokkinos. The exhibition explored the act of collecting as a vehicle to understand whose stories are preserved, whose are on view, and whose are in storage. Questioning inherited systems of classification and the hierarchies imposed by dominant ideologies, this exhibition suggested new liberated ways of approaching knowledge and interpreting the world.
Investigating the tools and methods of museological practices, the exhibition challenged the norms that control how objects, human artifacts and nature’s creations are classified, categorized, and displayed. Through the vitrines and storage grids, these systems shaped our perception of history while simultaneously limiting it within fixed dimensions of space and time.
