EXHIBITION: NATURE UNBOUND, BETWEEN REMEDY AND POISON

Armenian Center for Contemporary Experimental Art (ACCEA or “NPAK”) / INSTITUTION / Pavstos Buzand street 1/3, 0010 Yerevan, Armenia

OPENING: 12/06/2026, 19.00

Curator: Artemis Eleftheriadou

The group exhibition of contemporary art «Nature Unbound, Between Remedy and Poison»  (Ályti Phýsi: Fármako kai Farmáki) is presented in Armenia as part of the Cultural Programme of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026. 

The exhibition explores nature as a political, cultural, and symbolic field shaped by history, power, and collective memory. At its conceptual core lies the notion of the ancient Greek word pharmakon, as examined by Jacques Derrida in Plato’s Pharmacy, where pharmakon signifies both remedy and poison simultaneously. Through this duality, nature emerges as a site of care and destruction, healing and exploitation, refuge and entanglement.
