OLGA VLASSI

Olga Vlassi (b.1991) is an Athens-based artist. She has studied sculpture and painting at the Athens School of Fine Arts, completing part of her studies at the École National Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris on an Erasmus scholarship (2019). She holds a degree in Archaeology & History of Art (2015, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens). Her interests lie in the junction where space, memory and the performative body meet, and in the discourses which are built around them. She experiments with materials such as clay, plaster, glass, marble and concrete. Her studies in archaeology and particularly prehistory were an important source of influence on her practice, critically bringing forward the processes of excavating, archiving and research in the form and content of the work. She has presented her work in group exhibitions held at the Italian Embassy in Athens, the American College of Greece and the city of Elefsina (Eleusis 2023 European Capital of Culture). She has also worked in the theatre, creating and selecting stage objects for Euripides Laskarides’ performances ELENIT and Euripides by Euripides. She has been awarded the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship by ARTWORKS (2021).
