Panos Charalambous (b. 1956, Acarnania, Greece) creates site-specific installations and public audiovisual presentations. Through in-progress units and sonic dance happenings, he is concerned with the “survival” potential of patterns, voices, sounds, ideas, feelings, and productive behaviors; “thinning” the prevalence of the present, and making new arrangements and distributions possible. Abdicating from the representational status quo, he pursues ionization through his own incidents of “en-act-ment.” At the same time, he explores his expressive ability as a subject within the “minor Modern Greek scene” and “indigenous establishment” of a multicultural environment.
He has participated in international group exhibitions, including: Voice-O-Graph & Flatus Vocis, documenta 14, Athens and Kassel, 2017; Genii Loci: Greek Art from 1930 to the Present, Saint Petersburg, 2016; Venice International Performance Art Week: The Dream of Antigone, Venice, 2016; White House Biennial, Varna, 2016; Break-Through, ARCO, Madrid, 2004; Eidos, Besançon, 2004; Copenhagen European Capital of Culture, 1996; Ogrody, Poznań, 1996; Kunst-Europa: Visual European Landscape, Berlin, 1991; Glasgow European Capital of Culture, 1990; Οut of Limits, Poznań, 1990; and 3rd Biennial of Young Artists from Mediterranean Europe, Barcelona, 1987.
