POSTSCRIPTUM IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ALEKOS FASSIANOS MUSEUM

The implementation of the project “Development, organisation, digitisation, documentation, management and promotion of the Alekos Fassianos archive”, currently underway at the Alekos Fassianos Museum, marks a significant step towards the preservation and promotion of contemporary Greek artistic production.

The Museum, which opened in 2023, is a contemporary cultural institution dedicated to the complete body of work of the iconic Greek artist, spanning his career from 1956 until the end of his life. The building, designed by architect Kyriakos Krokos in close collaboration with Fassianos himself, functions as a unified work of art, where architecture, handcrafted details and the artist’s distinctive visual language coexist organically.

The Museum’s permanent exhibition features paintings, collages, objects and a rich body of archival material, highlighting themes inspired by Athens, everyday life and Greek mythology. At the same time, the Museum is developing a dynamic programme of temporary exhibitions, educational activities and public events, further strengthening the connection between art and wider audiences

PostScriptum plays a central role in the implementation of the project, having undertaken the development and delivery of key services for the systematic management and promotion of the archival material. These activities include the cataloguing, archiving and digitisation of primary materials, as well as their scholarly documentation, with the aim of creating a comprehensive and reliable digital repository.

In parallel, a digital preservation strategy is being developed, alongside the implementation of a digital repository system through the MuseumPlus RIA platform, ensuring the long-term protection and accessibility of the material. Within this framework, digital educational applications are also being designed to enhance knowledge dissemination and enrich audience engagement, while crowdsourcing initiatives—such as contributions to Wikipedia—are being carried out

By leveraging new technologies for the organisation, preservation and promotion of cultural heritage, PostScriptum remains committed to its mission of accelerating the digital maturity of cultural organisations. In doing so, it helps ensure that contemporary art remains open, accessible and meaningfully connected to today’s audiences.

The project is funded by the Ministry of Digital Governance under the NSRF.
