Irene Ragusini was born in 1988 near lake Garda in Italy and grew up in Athens. She holds a BFA and an MFA from the Athens School of Fine Arts, a Master’s in Visual Arts from the LUCA School of Arts in Belgium and has completed an artist book training at Grafikskolan school in Stockholm. Using movement as her point of reference, both literally as well as metaphorically, her works are mainly concerned with the notions of identity and belonging. People, materials and localities evolving and intertwining through a process of perpetual displacement form the basis of her research. In 2021, her work was selected to represent Greece at the Bornholm Biennial for Contemporary Glass and Ceramics in Denmark. She has been awarded a mobility grant through the EU program i-Portunus for her project The Archipelago of Shards and has participated in various exhibitions held in Greece and abroad. In October 2020, she founded her own artist-run space in Koukaki, the KOREN process space. She has been awarded the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship by ARTWORKS (2022).
