b.Athens, Greece, 1993 - based in Los Angeles, California.
Antigoni (b. 1993) is a multidisciplinary artist from Greece based in Los Angeles. Antigoni's work explores softness as a queer quality, serving as a catalyst for radical intimacy, collectivity, and storytelling in resistance to the rigidity and control of our productivity-driven society.
Their multidisciplinary practice manifests in participatory installations that invite touch and togetherness, sculptural costumes, performances that utilize XR technologies to blur materiality with virtuality, immersive video works, and collaborative processes. Their work often takes the form of fluffiness, elemental forces, bodies in flux, group hugs, vulnerable monsters and affect aliens, envisioning alternative ways of relating—to one another, to non-human entities, and to machines.
Antigoni is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Media Arts and Practice at USC School of Cinematic Arts. They hold an MFA in Media Arts from UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture and a BFA in Sculpture from the Athens School of Fine Arts in Greece. Antigoni has been the recipient of numerous scholarships and awards, including those from the Fulbright Foundation, the Onassis Foundation, and the ARTWORKS Fellowship from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
Their work has been exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Arnolfini Center for Contemporary Arts in Bristol, Honor Fraser Gallery, REDCAT Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater, UCR Arts x LACMA as part of PST Art, Gray Area, Hebbel Am Ufer, Wrightwood 651, Athens Biennale, and Thessaloniki Biennale, among others.
