In this series of recorded encounters we speak with the participants of Onassis AiR to shed light on their artistic practices and needs, as well as to reflect on ways of being and working together.In this conversation, I have the great pleasure to talk with Chrysanthi Koumianaki. Chrysanthi is a visual artist based in Athens. Her practice, which comprises of different artistic media, such as prints, video, sound and metal constructions, focuses on language and the notion of translation through the creation of new symbolic systems and codes of communication. In Fall 2019, we both participated in the Critical Practice program of Onassis AiR. Today, we talk about her research interest into public space and into nonverbal acts of communication, while discussing some of her individual projects, as well as her collective work at 3 137, an artist run space that she co-founded in 2012 and co-runs together with Kosmas Nikolaou and Paky Vlassopoulou.
