The George Economou Collection will be hosting Chance, an exhibition exploring the perception of chance in private and public life through a selection of provocative performances by Marina Abramović, David Hammons and Robin Rhode. The element of chance is an ephemeral happening in life and thus similar to performance, despite the fact that during this exhibition, chance is staged and revealed through monochromatic photography, video and variegated installation. Having used the body and a tool, each performance challenges the mystical nature of chance; the action sways in either direction beyond one’s control and, within this limbo, the viewer is invited to decide for themselves.
