CURRENT MISSION

How to blur art and life in a participatory, situational art

ABOUT ME

That's a tricky part. Do you really want half truths and whole lies? No matter how conscious I am I still don't grasp the whole image of me...But I'll give it a try.
I am almost 29 years old and I live in Thessaloniki, Greece. I am a visual artist and my artistic research revolves around kinetic and interactive installations. However I am going through a transitional phase in my life and art since I graduated last year. I am trying to find out how and where I stand as an independent artist and human being in the world. I am also searching for a master in fine arts programme to attend. Moreover I am seriously considering leaving Greece. The economic situation here is terrible especially for young people who are given no opportunities to create and fulfill their dreams and themselves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe!
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion!
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate!

Teach, Learn, Share

All about art.
Politics and especially antihierarchical and libertarian structures and ways of organisation.
