Talk:Maria Lalou

Untitled
Maria Lalou(born in 1977) is a Greek artist and researcher focusing on the topic of view. Her work are often sculptural installations as extensions of architecture. She is including the viewer’s perspective in the completion of the works significance, rooting her medium as Performance Art. From her early stage in the world of Arts, yet trained initially as an interior architect and designer, she has started by building performance-installations within the content of a pseudo-scientific environment. Significant tool in the work is that particular identity of the 'white coat'. The way Lalou is using the visual perception of the audience is making her work political and critical to the forms and cultural norms. In her research on the topic of view she has been including her article written for activate peered review magazine published on-line by Roehampton University[1] and her first book published by Onomatopee-Eindhoven in 2015 [2]. In parallel since 2012 she has an on-going collaboration with architect Skafte Aymo-Boot, on their archival research in the un-finished concrete volumes of 'polyktoikia' in the city of Athens.[3] Since the early 2004 Lalou is sharing her time within the two cities of Athens and Amsterdam.
