The new series of the B&E Goulandris Foundation’s specially designed activities for people aged 60+ and persons with Mild Cognitive Impairment “Games for Adults” and “Digital Games for Adults”, that are held in collaboration with the thallo programme with the valuable support of Alpha Bank, draws inspiration from the Nakis Panayotidis retrospective exhibition and gets under way on Thursday, December 5.

The latest series of the interactive meetings takes participants to the world of Arte Povera and explores the unconventional materials, the methods and the philosophy of Nakis Panayotidis who, according to La Republica, is the movement’s “last representative”.

The activities are in Greek.

Focusing on the audience’s endless adjustment and internal rhythm, Nakis Panayotidis’ works take us to a world of emotional richness and invite us to a soul-searching journey.

Through different associations and creative games, participants get acquainted with the Arte Povera movement’s aesthetic approach and attempt to cast a contemporary look on the work of Nakis Panayotidis, where the past and the future meet the present.

Comparisons of organic materials, the simple against the complex, the static against the dynamic, art and life. Rich in contradictions, the Arte Povera movement attempts, through its representatives, to encourage audiences to look beyond the surface of materials and seek the deeper meanings of life and existence.

Focusing on selected works from the “Nakis Panayotidis – Shut your Eyes and See” retrospective, the online activity invites participants to an experiential journey to the world of Nakis Panayotidis and the Arte Povera movement. Representatives, indicative works and controversial views guide us through the world of “poor” art that offers emotional richness through quizzes, games and creative dialogue.

We advise participants to have some aluminum foil sheets with them.

"Museum Adventure" is a smart phone application especially designed for people over 65, as well as people living with Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Museum Adventure is a part of our overall programming for people in the 3rd Age, however, everyone is welcome to play the game. Each artwork is accompanied by a soundscape, an original composition inspired by the painting and the era it was created. The game is played by answering questions so as to move forward, while diving into a journey of sounds and colors. The answer lies hidden in what you have heard. During the game, you can also read the text of the narration for additional help. Art is not a matter of knowledge rather than the reality of the viewers' open heart, thus the game is an exploration of the unique collection of the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation accompanied by original compositions and soundscapes. One can play the game free of charge, explore the unique collection of the artworks and learn about how you can arrange a visit in the museum. The application was developed with the financial support of the Ministry of Culture and Sports.

Αξιοποιώντας όλες τις δυνατότητες που προσφέρει η τεχνολογία, η Συλλογή έργων τέχνης του Ιδρύματος Β&Ε Γουλανδρή «ταξιδεύει» σε γηροκομεία σε όλη τη χώρα για να προσφέρει σε άτομα τρίτης ηλικίας που δεν έχουν τη δυνατότητα μετακίνησης μια διαφορετική και πολύ ιδιαίτερη εικονική περιήγηση.

Με την πολύτιμη υποστήριξη του Κοινωφελούς Ιδρύματος ΤΙΜΑ, της AEGEAN, της ACS και της εταιρείας ΚΩΤΣΟΒΟΛΟΣ – DIXONS SOUTH EAST EUROPE, οι ειδικές μουσειοσκευές του Ιδρύματος για την τρίτη ηλικία ταξιδεύουν ακόμα και στις πιο απομακρυσμένες περιοχές της Ελλάδας για να προσφέρουν μια μοναδική εμπειρία. Η κάθε μουσειοσκευή περιλαμβάνει γυαλιά εικονικής πραγματικότητας (VR headset) με τα οποία πραγματοποιείται η εικονική περιήγηση, καθώς και τρισδιάστατα αντίγραφα (3D prints) και τρισδιάστατα μοντέλα επιλεγμένων έργων τέχνης της Συλλογής, που προσφέρουν μια πιο ολοκληρωμένη επαφή με τα έργα.

Με το πρόγραμμα «Στο Μουσείο με άλλα… γυαλιά», κόσμος που δεν έχει τη δυνατότητα να επισκεφθεί το Μουσείο απολαμβάνει μια πρωτότυπη ξενάγηση και αποκτά πρόσβαση στα μοναδικά έργα τέχνης της Συλλογής του Ιδρύματος.

Το πρόγραμμα αποτελεί μια πρωτοβουλία του Ιδρύματος Β&Ε Γουλανδρή και διατίθεται δωρεάν σε όλα τα γηροκομεία που επιθυμούν να το φιλοξενήσουν.
