Interview

His research focuses on the crossover and interplay of art criticism and curatorship through a concept that he refers to as ‘curaticism’. Different all the time in solutions and arrangements, ‘curaticism’ has the goal of ‘curatorially’ identify the political and social position that the artist’s practice occupies within the current time, and to ‘critically’ investigate how the artwork’s visuality makes the piece to be politically and socially questionable.

Vasiliki Antonopoulou lives and works in London, UK. She was born in Greece and raised in Saudi Arabia, two locations which re-emerge in her practice.

Her work combines text, performance and moving image, to explore notions of love and displacement by drawing metaphors between body and architecture. These manifest through site specific performances that delve into the emotional relationships that exists in particular spaces.

She obtained her BA in Fine Art Practice from Goldsmiths University of Art in 2012, and completed her MA in Contemporary Art Practice (Moving Image) at the Royal College of Art in 2018.

The book mentioned during the interview is by Sara Ahmed, Queer Phenomenology: Orientations, Objects, Others.

Kathranne Knight is a visual artist and co-editor of Correspondence Publishing.

Her drawings speak in the packed way of a symbol– elemental, but ricocheting with associations and metaphoric possibilities.

Impermanence, multiplication, and issues of representation are plumbed through materials as various as fly paper, silver, tears, and graphite. The action and materiality of drawing are stretched, performed, and reconfigured in her series of tracings and contour studies, where she draws around her own body and that of her daughter, trying to glean the actual now of existence in their form.

Poetry and Poets are important collaborators as well and her drawings are found on the covers of books by Nate Klug and James Cagney. Knight has been artist in residence at Donald Judd’s Chinati Foundation and the Connemara Conservancy Foundation, Dallas, Texas. Her work has been shown in museums and galleries including: Mass MoCA, The Des Moines Art Center, Carroll and Sons Gallery, Geoffrey Young Gallery, and Muriel Guepin Gallery (New York, NY) among others. Her work is included in several private and public collections such as: The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, and the private collection of A.G. Rosen. Knight was an Iowa Artist Fellow in 2014, awarded an Iowa Artist Grant in 2015 and has been nominated for both a Louis Comfort Tiffany and Joan Mitchell award.
