VASKOS

VASKOS is the multidisciplinary artistic duo by Vassilis Noulas and Kostas Tzimoulis, which has been based in Αthens since 2014. Their practice focuses on performance, photography, drawings, ceramics, publications, and curating, exploring playfully the notion of artistic, sexual and national identity. VASKOS tries to look upon the “artistic duo” as a contemporary artistic practice, a conscious choice which offers an alternative model of artistic symbiosis and complicity, which tests the limits of the traditional identity and the common singularity/oneness of the subject. Recently, their work has been presented at the Αthens Photo Festival, the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (EMST), Polygreen Culture & Art Initiative (PCAI), the Greek National Opera, TRANSFORM! Queer Arts Festival in Marseille, HKW in Berlin, and Phenomenon Anafi.  

Vassilis Noulas is a visual artist, a theater and film director, and founding member of the performance collective Nova Melancholia. His work has been presented at the Αthens Epidaurus Festival, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, the Οnassis Stegi, the Santarcangelo Festival, the Greek National Opera, the Αthens Biennale, as well as in squats, apartments, and self-managed spaces.

Kostas Tzimoulis is a visual artist. He has presented six solo exhibitions. He is a member of the performance collective Nova Melancholia. Together with Gigi Argyropoulou and Vassilis Noulas, they have formed the collective EIGHT – a critical institute for arts and politics. He is currently an academic scholar at the Department of Culture, Creative Media and Industries at the University of Thessaly.
