Taking its name from a Maria Lassnig painting, the exhibition, curated by Nicolas Vamvouklis, starts from the notions of reason and instinct and explores “possible interspecies connections through history, politics and tradition” – for example, how language affects the way we perceive animals based on their behaviour, appearance and location (swarm of bees, parliament of owls, colony of ants, etc.). Through works by artists like Ana Mendieta, Oliviero Fiorenzi, Antigoni Tsagkaropoulou, Mike Bourscheid, Pinar Yolaçan, Iro Vasalou, Cosima von Bonin, Maria Papadimitriou, Józef Robakowski and Virginia Russolo, the narratives in Sleeping with a tiger examine “how places of turmoil can become hotbeds for revisiting our worldview and how art can be a powerful tool for developing a symbiotic future.”
