The display architecture for History Zero was developed in close collaboration with the artist Stefanos Tsivopoulos at the Greek Pavilion for the 55th Venice Biennale. At the centre of the existing pavilion a tall circular room is introduced, which creates a focused space for the presentation of the centre piece of the exhibition, an encyclopaedic research archive of alternative currencies, which is installed as a continuous panorama within the lower area of ​​the rotunda. A circular bench offers visitors the opportunity to study the archive in more detail or to have a rest, which also makes the Greek Pavilion a popular meeting destination within the entire ‘Giardini’. Separated by curtains, three equivalent rectangular rooms are attached to the rotunda for the presentation of a filmed trilogy by the artist. The color scheme of these rooms is monochrome and dark which stands in contrast with the light timber cladding of the rotunda. While creating a calm backdrop for the art, the architecture also offers a strong spatial quality and atmospheric density on its own. Carefully inserted into the existing building, the new display spaces, the art and the existing pavilion come together as a new whole. Stefanos Tsivopoulos’ History Zero has also been shown at Stella Art Foundation Moscow, the Museum of Cycladic Art Athens and at MuCEM Marseille.
