100 years after collctor's birth
In 2013 the State Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki celebrates 100 years since the birth of the Greek born collector George Costakis, a large part of whose collection belongs to the Museum. The other part was donated by the collector himself in 1977 to the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. The Costakis collection is the largest collection of Russian avant-garde art (1900-1930) and has a great mobility in exhibitions all over Europe and the USA. During the exhibition, there will be a special tribute to the collector while, at the same time, the new digital programs implemented by the Museum as part of the Digital Convergence (NSRF) will be presented, namely, the 3-dimensional virtual theater, multimedia tour through mobile devices as well as interactive touch screens. Curators: Maria Tsantsanoglou, Angeliki Charistou.
