Eva Papamargariti

Eva Papamargariti is an artist, based between Athens and London.

She uses a variety of mediums such as moving image, printed material, and sculptural installations to explore the relationships of cognitive and affective interaction between the multiple realities that we live in, as well as the dynamic intra-connection and intra-action of events between diverse systems.

Her work dwells in the suspended moment and space where grotesque, fiction, and realism collide, and an amalgam of diverse realities emerges. Papamargariti’s research and practice delve into themes related to the notions of identification and metamorphosis, the idea of simultaneity, and the merging and dissolving of our surroundings with the virtual, the mundane, the eerie, and the extraordinary.

She has exhibited in solo shows, group shows, and screenings worldwide, in respected institutions, museums, and festivals, such as the New Museum (New York), Whitney Museum (New York), Tate Britain (London), MAAT Museum (Lisbon), EMST (Athens), Museum of Moving Image (New York), MoMA PS1 (New York), GAMeC Museum (Bergamo), Pioneer Works (New York), Museum of Contemporary Art (Montreal), The Bass (Miami), Athens Biennale (Athens), Mediterranean Biennale (San Marino), Thessaloniki Biennale (Thessaloniki), MUTEK (Montreal), Transmediale Festival (Berlin), MIRA Festival (Madrid), New Now Festival (Zollverein), Ars Electronica (Linz), Liste Art Fair (Basel), and Kunstraum Niederostereich (Vienna).

She has been invited as a resident artist at LUMA Foundation in Arles, France (2023), and at the New Now residency at Zollverein, Germany (2023).

Her work is featured in public and private collections such as the Dakis Joannou Collection (Deste Foundation), Onassis Foundation, PCAI Collection, MOMuS, etc.

Eva Papamargariti is a participant of the Onassis AiR Extended Research Residencies program for 2024/25.
