This week we invited Antonis Pittas for an artist talk!
Through an extensive review of various of his projects, Antonis revealed the key axes of his research, shared some of his references and talked thoroughly about aspects of the process through which one develops a body of work. Thank you Antonis for creating a space for thought and reflection.
