Louise Bourgeois in The Way We Live Now
20 June 2026—March 2027
Group exhibition at The George Economou Collection, Marousi, Greece
The George Economou Collection is pleased to announce The Way We Live Now, its first contemporary group exhibition, with works culled solely from its holdings and the first of its kind within the exhibition program.
In 1875, the English novelist Anthony Trollope published The Way We Live Now, his devastating look at the transfiguring effect of power during the industrial age. A little over one hundred and fifty years later, artists, curators, and writers continue to mine the real world in all its complexity, including the effects finance, industry, and desire have not only on artistic consciousness, but the viewer's understanding of what is being represented, and why.
In this group exhibition, the artists invite us, with their unique sensibilities, to observe how they have been informed, if not shaped, by “the way we live now”—as political creatures, as humans longing for intimacy, as observers in and of the world that has made us.
