A.I.R extension#04

A.I.R extension#04 was a discussion that took place between Katleen Vermeir & Christodoulos Panayiotou on the topic of the A.I.R project. The discussion took place at Platform Garanti, Istanbul, where both artists were in residency. The discussion was recorded and written out in order to be proposed for a Greek magazine (not published).

Christodoulous Panayiotou trained in dance and performing arts in Lyon and in London. His finely tuned videos and sculptural installations are the result of carefully orchestrated yet ephemeral situations, generally involving the collaboration of others. He is especially interested in what he describes as “the amorous dialectic” – the contradictions of love and its associations with romantic myth and sentimentality. In 2005 Panayiotou was awarded the 4th DESTE Prize by the DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art, Athens, Greece.
