Shame is an object in space

Andreas Ragnar Kassapis

annex M: Megaron Athens Concert Hall

Through painting and poetry, the artist explores the distance between the city and its representation, between natural landscape and artificial image, between cultural and psychic geography. This exploration does not aim to establish oppositions; rather, it approaches these conditions as inseparable and symbiotic. Using form, colour, line, tone, perspective, and written word as his vehicles, Andreas Ragnar Kassapis investigates the relationship between landscape and object in the post-internet age, and the changes this relationship brings to our perception and to the mechanisms of memory.

Andreas Ragnar Kassapis (1981) works with painting, sound and text. Each of these versions of his practice is characterised 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.
