Christodoulos Panayiotou
Born 1978 in Limassol, Cyprus. Christodoulos Panayiotou’s works are performance-based and collectively span every level of what one could describe as a spectrum of the performative in art– from creating a space for an activity such as dancing, directing actors and events, to the recording and tracing of both the artist’s and society’s ‘performances’. Formed in a range of media, often incorporating video and sound within installation Panayiotou’s aesthetic interventions often reference political stimuli and yet can be read in a multitude of ways.

In 2005 Panayiotou won the 4th DESTE Prize from the DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Athens, Greece. Solo exhibitions in 2006 were Prologue: Quoting Absence, Museum Of Modern Art Oxford, Arrivals, Oxford, UK and Christodoulos Panayiotou - Video Works, National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Umjetnicka Galerija) - XXII International. Participation in recent group exhibitions includes in 2007 Disco Corporation, Locus Athens, Athens, Greece and Mediterranean Dialogues, Citadel, St. Tropez, France in 2006 Everybody Dance Now, EFA Center, New York, USA and Radio Gallery / Radio Time Capsule (by Ryan Gander and Francesco Manacorda), Resonance FM, London, UK.
