annexM was conceived as a dynamic, alternative center for artistic and curatorial practices at the heart of Megaron, the Athens Concert Hall. Focusing on the intersection of arts and cultures as a universal demand and necessary artistic condition for the production, reception and management of cultural institutions today, it has set itself a double goal.
Firstly, to serve in this seminal institution’s creative and critical embrace of other arts, thus contributing to the reconfiguration of its identity and relationship to the public.Secondly, by activating unused building infrastructures and through collaborations, annexM aspires to be an open and inclusive Center for Contemporary Art in the Athens Concert Hall.
Since its inception, annexM has set the objective of showcasing a radical artistic and curatorial condition at the core of its exhibition policy. Poetically penetrating dormant, non-functional spaces in the gigantic buildings of the Athens Concert Hall, but also accessing public, familiar and readily recognizable areas that lend themselves to unexpected critical uses, annexM continually crosses over the boundaries of established exhibition conventions with its nomadic mobility. Shedding light on the Other Side, it traces in the alterity of this iconic organization a vast field of creative potential and reading challenges for artists, curators and visitors. The open translational dialogue that develops around each exhibition, in between the exhibition and the institutional and architectural space, opens up new interpretative contexts and liminal locations of art events that enable us to experience both exhibitions and artworks as fleeting passages and constant transitions from the actual to the imaginary.
