about

Η ομάδα Campus Novel δημιουργήθηκε το Νοέμβριο του 2011. Πρόκειται για ένα αυτοδιαχειριζόμενο εικαστικό σχήμα που διερευνά την αρχαιολογία του σύγχρονου ως αναστοχαστική πρακτική απόδοσης νοήματος. Οι Campus Novel ενσωματώνουν στις δράσεις τους νήματα σκέψεων από διαφορετικά γνωστικά πεδία προτείνοντας μια φόρμα ανοιχτού διαλόγου χωρίς εγγυήσεις, ασφάλειες ή προκαθορισμένες ομολογίες. 

Campus Novel is an artist run group that was founded in November 2011. The group focuses on several aspects of the archaeology of the present as part of a retrospective practice seeking for new signifiers. Campus Novel projects encompass elements from different fields in order to suggest a dialectic form, free from any preallocated meaning.
