Thalia Chioti ( born in Patras ) lives and works in Athens. She studied at the Athens School of Fine Arts under professor N. Kessanlis (1988-1993). Ιn 1994 she was awarded the Yannis and Zoe Spyropoulos Foundation prize. She also received a fellowship from the State Scholarships Foundation in 1996 and received an MA in digital arts at ASFA in 2011. The early 90s was a turning point for her artistic practice, proceeding to the usage of weaving, knitting and sewing” traditionally seen as women’s work” as her primary mediums and served as an indirect commentary on the “art of gender” and the conceptually matriarchal management of time and memory. She created paradoxical forms of clothing, as well as soft sculpture objects, using loose materials such as yarn, wool, textile and also other non-raw materials such as magnetic audio tapes and bibliographic text pages. Her work includes drawings, photos and video projections.
