Kosmas Nikolaou (1984, Athens) lives and works in Athens. He studied Fine Arts and Architecture at Ioannina (Northwestern Greece), Volos (Central Greece) and Milan. His work revolves around the functions of architecture, spatial qualities, memory, narration and non-verbal communication. He is often concerned with modernity, scattered documentation, records, personal narratives, oral archaeology, gossip politics, and the moral dimensions of sound and voice. The compound of these different elements leads to new correlations and a new positioning in the space between reality and stage design. He has participated in group exhibitions in Greece, the Balkans, Europe and the Middle East, in museums and institutions. He has had three solo exhibitions at the Rebecca Camhi Art Gallery in Athens, the Brauchbarkeit in Cologne and Villa Bologna in Malta. He has taken part in several artist residencies in Greece, Germany, Italy, Poland, Malta, Russia, the United Arab Emirates and in the program Ideas City of New Museum, NY. Since 2012 he has been a founding member and co-director of the independent artist-run space 3 137 in Athens together with Paky Vlassopoulou and Chrysanthi Koumianaki.
