"How do you keep ancient Greek civilization alive in the 21st century?" The question is raised in Jonathan Jones’ art blog (the Guardian), which pays tribute to British-German “situation” artist Tino Sehgal, who will stage an event, focusing on peripatetic philosophy. It began on September 25 and is being hosted at the Roman Agora of Athens until September 28.

Berlin-based artist Sehgal has made a career of presenting fascinating, interactive events in public spaces. He was shortlisted for the Turner prize. Sehgal describes his work as "constructed situations" that exist only in the viewer's memory, without any physical installation, consisting only of gestures, words, sound, song and social contact, which necessarily requires communication and interaction with an audience. Now he’s bringing his state-of-the-art actions to the ancient city. It is an encounter between old and new. “Sehgal’s work and exhibition are smartly linked with the classical culture first documented in Athens” concludes Jones.
