project

Description

The Mystery 177 Visions from the Underworld is an art exhibition curated by The Aprognostic Temple and took place from February 3rd, 2023 -when the opening took place- until April 8th, 2023 at the X-Bowling Art Center. Freely borrowing elements from the Eleusinian Mysteries, the exhibition takes the myth and the secret cult around it as a starting point and way of navigating between parallel universes, since the city of Elefsina will always be known for the Eleusinian Mysteries – the most secretive religious rites in ancient Greece, celebrated annually for almost two millennia (1600 BC – 400 AD). Freely borrowing elements from the Eleusinian Mysteries, the exhibition takes the myth and the secret cult around it as a starting point and way of navigating between parallel universes. It seeks to show the Mysteries’ current-day relevance while opening them up to different voices in a language for the 21st century.
