Collection

The Collection is based on special commissions mainly of moving image art. PCAI provides mid-career and emerging artists with the means and resources to create an artwork inspired by urgent environmental issues in their broader relation to current sociocultural, economic, philosophical concerns. The Collection invites artists to reflect on the concept of waste and related processes in a free and innovative way; to create art that challenges the limits of previous views and representations; to imagine new forms and use radical tactics while addressing our changing world.

The first of the capsules comprising the collection of PCAI was created between 2014 and 2017 under the curatorial work of Nadja Argyropoulou and was presented with the Paratoxic Paradoxes exhibition, organised with the cooperation of the Benaki Museum in Athens (April-May 2017)
