Athanasios Argianas (b. Athens 1976) is a multidisciplinary artist and musician who lives between London and the Argosaronic Gulf in Greece. He will use his time at Flat Time House to consider John Latham’s theories of time and duration in relationship to sonic composition. Argianas has an interdisciplinary practice incorporating sculpture, painting, text, performance and often composed music or sound, and concerns itself with translations between media and the production of affect and hybridity.
Argianas’ work has been presented at The 30th Sao Paulo Biennial (Sao Paulo, BR), Performa13 (NY, USA), Kunsthalle Wien (Vienna, AU) Tate Britain, The Barbican, Camden Art Centre and The Serpentine Gallery Pavillion ( London, UK ) Fridericianum (Kassel, DE), EMST National Museum Of Contemporary Art (Athens, GR) and Fondazione Prada (Venice, IT). He released music under his mother’s maiden name Gavouna (2003-2007) under different UK labels, and is currently releasing music under both names on the Lo Recordings label. He is currently Resident Artist at Megaron Mousikis, the Athens Concert Hall 's visual arts centre Annex M.
Mackintosh Lane is run by artists David Noonan, Kira Freije and Anna Higgins based in Homerton, East London. It is a non-profit gallery operating on an intermittent basis, providing space for invited artists and curators to experiment and realise new projects.
