Investigations of a Dog – Works from the FACE Collections
Athens, DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art
June 22 – October 30, 2011

The DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art is pleased to present Investigations of a Dog – Works from the FACE Collections, the first exhibition organized and curated by the FACE group that features works from the collections of the five partner institutions.

Investigations of a Dog takes its title from the short story by Franz Kafka (1922), whose main character, a dog, questions the limits of his canine existence, or rather, the sense of the community to which he belongs. This constant questioning distances the dog from the others and forces him into the position of the outsider. Nonetheless, in his solitude the dog expresses his most intense form of interest for the community and his compatriots.
