PANAYOTIS LIANOS
Visual arts
Panayotis Lianos is an artist, architect and tattooist based in Athens. He is a graduate of the School of Architecture of the National Technical University of Athens (ΝTUA), holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Athens School of Fine Arts and is currently studying towards a PhD in architecture at NTUA. His artistic research focuses on methods of collective artistic production capable of creating cracks within institutional frameworks. In his practice, he employs a broad range of media —from installations and performance to digital interdisciplinary fetishes, through which he composes a vocabulary situated somewhere between bits and gestures, blood and data. His work has been presented in various exhibitions and art spaces, among others: the Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture, Hong Kong; State of Concept, Athens; Eight, Athens; Neo Cosmos, Athens; P.E.T. Projects, Athens; Ammophila, Elafonisos; Michalis Cacoyannis Foundation, Athens; and Union Pacific, London. He is a member of the Ofrah Fergal Kasei practice, the Laboratory for the Urban Commons, and the fluid artistic collaboration method brackets[]. Through this series of symbioses, a series of co-authored works, interventions and publications have been produced; some are included in private and public collections, such as the National Museum of Contemporary Art, while others have been exhibited in self-managed and public spaces. He has been awarded the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship by ARTWORKS in 2022.
