The publication was released on the occasion of the exhibition under the same title, which was held at the Benaki Museum from February 15 to June 13, 2021. The exhibition proposes to reflect upon craft as an ability or capacity to act in order to reclaim the knowledge of design and artistic autonomy. Through the example of Robinson Crusoe as a maker, the curators and the 36 participating artists refer to craft and design as a necessity in times of crisis. The presentation of works by the "Greek art scene", on the occasion of this novel, maps a new direction of contemporary art in Greece of the last decade, which focuses on the design, materiality and constructional character of the work.
