Andreas Angelidakis at Espace Niemeyer, Paris
- last year
Center for the Critical Appreciation of Antiquity (2022) is a site-specific installation by the artist Andreas Angelidakis at Espace Niemeyer in Paris. For his first solo exhibition in Paris, Andreas Angelidakis has transformed the interior of the iconic dome of the building by famous architect Oscar Niemeyer. The artwork has been commissioned by Audemars Piguet Contemporary and runs until 30 October 2022. It’s Angelidakis’ largest and most ambitious artwork to date.
Center for the Critical Appreciation of Antiquity (2022) is an immersive installation, imagined as both an excavation site and a study centre on antiquity and on the modern city. The work is intentionally situated in dialogue with the modern architecture of Espace Niemeyer, among the most lauded designs in Europe by posthumous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
Andreas Angelidakis was born in 1969, he lives and works in Athens, Greece. Angelidakis is classically trained as an architect, though refers to himself as “an architect who doesn’t build”.
