Andreas Angelidakis
Nam June Paik Award 2018
November 10, 2018–February 3, 2019Westfälischer Kunstverein, Münster
Andreas Angelidakis is shortlist for the Nam June Paik International Award 2018. This year, the Kunststiftung NRW is presenting its international media art prize – the Nam June Paik Award – for the ninth time. For the first time, a Kunstverein has been selected as project partner for the forthcoming presentation of the award: Westfälischer Kunstverein in Münster will host the exhibition in November, featuring five nominated artists selected by a panel of experts.
Andreas Angelidakis (b. 1968, GR, lives in Athens) undertakes a kind of media archaeology in his works when he posits an analogy between the classical philosopher Diogenes and ancient vessels emblazoned with drawings and stories on the one hand, and our use of media today on the other.
