Tomorrow documenta 14 opens in Athens. Like the fifth book of Cicero’s On Moral Ends, I want Minus Plato to be the place that you can encounter Athens, its sites (such as the Temple of Olympian Zeus) and the artists’ work (e.g.Prinz Gholam’s My Sweet Country) through a far-away simulation and an imaginary dialogue. So, […]

Polemarchus: Hi dad, how are you? Thanks for sending the photos and videos of your visit to the Philippe Parreno Anywhen exhibition at the Turbine Hall. What did you think of it?
