Evaluator Athina Kanellopoulou (Artist)

I am a greek-based visual artist. I gained BA and MSc in Civil Engineering and Pedagogigal Studies (ASPAITE, 2009-2011) and BA in Fine Arts & New Media (Middlesex University, 2016). I currently study in the faculty of MA Arts, Virtual Reality and Multi-Users System of Artistic Expression (ASFA, 2017 & Universite Paris 8, 2018). The spatial and social elements play a key role in the way of perceiving the world and thus Art. I call space every real, digital, virtual, invented or imaginary place created by the social or isolation's needs of human. Through a variety of visual media such as video, installation, text, and some forms of performance, the structures of society and human relations are investigated; specifically, the interaction of people through the emotional fluctuations, the error on the true and the kinaesthetic fact in the determination of these spatial and social ids. In many installations and media works, the participation of audience plays the most important role in the activation of the project and conduct results, emphasizing the character of the ephemeral and non-closed system and the relevance of the visual identity. I have presented artworks in exhibitions, festivals, art fairs and biennales; such as AB5to6:Omonoia Athens Biennale, To the Future Public- C.A.S.A., KMMN Kassel, ASFA BBQ 4th Performance Festival ASFA, Contemporary Venice International Art Show, Human Rights Global Village, AnimaSyros International Animation Festival, Eye's Walk Festival, Art Athina International Art Fair, APhF Athens Photo Festival Benaki Museum, ANIMFEST, Audio-Visual Art Festival, Mind the Gap|Kodra Fresh 2016, Consciousness- Anima Mundi Festival, ANNY- Animation Night New York, Diseases, II FICAE- International Short Film and Art Festival, δικό μου: a piece of space, Exile International Film Festival, Experimental Superstars International Film Festival, CAA Project- Contemporary Academy of Art Project, etc. athinakanellopoulo.wixsite.com/athinakanellopoulou
