Art confronting Covid-19
MOMus, still socially active and in the present condition, recommended selected works from its collections and its exhibitions in its online program "MOMus Resilience Project". Willing to be closer to the people who work, create, express themselves through their homes, MOMus began recommending aspects of "home", that is home life, as artists have perceived it to be in tempore non suspect (#MOMus Domus).
Today MOMus is expanding its resilience and calls you to share with us an image created by you that has artistic qualities, in response to the conditions of confinement that we experience. Give your own tone and let's make the digital album of these days all together (#SoFarSoClose).
[MOMus intends to use for its actions (which might include exhibitions, research, the purchase of works of art) certain works that will be posted on the platform and in which can be found trends that are in line with the institutions' artistic interests in terms of aesthetics, techniques, and content. In this case, the respective creators will be contacted.]
The visual identity of the project «Honest Outlaws – Face. Freedom. Silence» was designed by Melina Karanika. It symbolizes the architectural relationship between the two spaces where the project took place, was created and exhibited: the prison and the museum (two heterotopias according to Michel Foucault).

The exhibition «Honorable Outlaws - Face. Freedom. Silence» is based on the ability of contemporary art to create space-time frameworks in which people – who would have never met under different circumstances – can coexist, cooperate, and co-create. Nine artists and an art theorist went to the 3rd Second Chance School of Thessaloniki of the Central Correctional Facility of Thessaloniki (Diavata) and created workshops (2017-2019). The artists were chosen according to the relativity of their practice to the problematics of approaching confinement, through critical aesthetics. Inmate students experienced contact with contemporary art and the artists came face to face with the heterotopia of prison and the people who experience it every day. The exhibition includes texts and works of both students and artists. Some of the works are collective, some others have been created by the students under the guidance of the artists and others are artworks of the 9 artists which emerged from their experience in the prison.
