An annex of The 8 Museum is a city in which encounters have occurred. Unlike the annexes of other institutions, it holds no building, employs no staff, and has acquired nothing. Its collection remains permanently installed where it was found — on Venetian shutters, enamel plates, typewriter keys, whitewash, and once in pebbles — and is maintained, without their knowledge, by the residents, the weather, and the municipal services of the city itself.

The Corfu Annex is the museum's home annex: the practitioner resides on the island, and the practice's administrative seat — such as it is — sits within the annex's own walls, an arrangement no other museum would permit. Its collection grows on the walk to the bakery. The annex is also the museum's academic address, the practice being the subject of a thesis at the Ionian University, a short distance from several of the works. Each of the annex's works was photographed in situ, untouched, under existing conditions, and left exactly as it was. Visitors to Corfu are advised that the entire collection remains on public display.
