On December 18, 2024, at 6:00 PM, there will be a launch event in the event hall of the IANOS bookstore, for the book Angelika Korovessi.

The following speakers will discuss the album:

• Yiannis Kolokotronis, Professor of Art History at Democritus University of Thrace.
• Dr. Georgios Kakavas, General Director of Contemporary Culture, Ministry of Culture.

Angelika Korovessi studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts (A.S.K.T.) from 1970 to 1976, where she was a student of D. Kalamaras. After completing her studies at A.S.K.T., she focused on contemporary art. She was a pioneer with her “Sound Sculptures” and the series “Balance Makers.” Her works are part of many private and public collections both in Greece and abroad.

Yiannis Kolokotronis states:

“In Angelika Korovessi’s sound sculptures, linguistic analysis and digital technology intersect, transforming the intangible sound into physical forms. By digitally analyzing spoken language, Korovessi transforms ‘Recordings’ (the sound waveforms of speech) into ‘sound-sculpture-forms,’ merging linguistic codes with aesthetics.

This merging reduces the alienation between individuals and introduces the ‘Aesthetics of Sound-Forms,’ a new artistic approach that encompasses both the form and the meaning of words. Thus, her sound-sculpture uniquely blends language-sound-sculpture, creating a distinct category in contemporary art.”

The self-titled book was published by Ianos publishing on 30th October 2024. Curated by Giannis Kolokotronis, Professor of Art History at the Democritus University of Thrace, this volume delves into the artistic journey and philosophy of Korovessi and includes texts by distinguished art historians and exhibition curators, who contribute towards the presentation of her work.

Hard copies are available on Ianos’ publishing website
