annex M: Andreas Ragnar Kassapis – Shame is an object in space

Andreas Ragnar Kassapis (1981) works with painting, sound and text. Each of these versions of his practice is characterized by a subtly repetitive disposition in rhythm and composition. The issues of the relationship between space and object, perspective, duration, resonance, layering and flatness, error and, finally, the question of memory within the cultural framework of technical images act as guiding principles for the artist.

The artist’s solo and duo exhibitions involve the following: Pliancy – Radio Athènes, Athens 2022; The Shallow Room, A Sud, Pescara 2022; To see a block of flats as a cave – Kalfayan Galleries, Athens, 2021; Melting snow as if in a room, Andreas Ragnar Kassapis / Constantinos Hadjinikolaou – Tavros, Athens, 2021; Songs, Athanasios Argianas / Andreas Ragnar Kassapis – HE.RO Gallery, Amsterdam, 2018; Breakwater, alternative exhibition space, Athens 2015; How Can one Remember Thirst? – Loraini Alimantiri Gallery, Athens 2011; Bones are Tight, Loraini Alimantiri Gallery, Athens 2008; Numb, Loraini Alimantiri Gallery, Athens 2006; Sleep Maps, Babel exhibition space, Athens 2006.

He has participated in group exhibitions staged by significant artistic institutions in the context of major events, such as Documenta 14 (artistic director Adam Szymczyk, curated by Katerina Tselou, Athens, Kassel 2017); Reverb, New Art from Greece (curated by Evita Tsokanta – Eirene Efstathiou, Boston 2014); Hell as Pavillion (curated by Nadja Argyropoulou, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2013), Heaven, Athens Biennale (curated by Christoforos Marinos, Athens 2009); Anathena (curated by Marina Fokidis – Marina Gioti, Athens 2006).
