�PAUSE, FRAGMENT, FOLD

An exhibition emerging from a collaborative process between students of The American College of Greece, the University of Ioannina, and the University of Southampton.

Curated by Giorgos Kontis (.kontis) and coordinated with Jennifer Nelson, the project stems from workshops exploring authorship, collective work, and dialogic artistic practice while also engaging with the ACG Art Collection. “Pause, Fragment, Fold” highlights the fragment as a way to rethink form, narrative, and how meaning takes shape.

💬 “Remembrance intervenes, modifies, and redeems… turning what appears complete into the resoundingly incomplete.”
150 years since the college’s founding, artists reflect on its past—not in linear terms, but as layered constellations of memory and meaning. This exhibition invites disruption, collaboration & critical reflection on the role of art education in times of uncertainty.

Curated by Christos Asomatos, Ana S. González Rueda & Ioanna Papapavlou
