CHRYSANTHI KOUMIANAKI
Chrysanthi Koumianaki's (b. 1985, Greece) work examines Greece's present condition by exploring the value of currencies (hard, virtual, and symbolic) while revisiting the notion of utopia. These themes have resurfaced in her work of the last three years, which has also begun to take inspiration from political slogans used in demonstrations—whether from the streets of Paris in May 1968 or those of Athens in the 2010s. She has also co-funded the artist-run space 3137 in Athens.
