Maria Lalou (born in 1977) is a Greek contemporary conceptual artist, critical thinker and scholar. She explores the topic of viewing, incorporating cinematic apparatus and surveillance as part of her tools, with central references to the politics of the viewer. Her works negotiate about the notion of ‘viewing’ as a civic negotiation, by the means of a performative act, an active presence, an empirical duration, a filmic artefact and a political statement. Her art works are in the edge of social experiments and practised rhetorics by staging art installations on the steps of theory of the spectacle. She includes the viewer’s perspective in the completion of the works' significance, dividing her audiences in specific audience as the chosen viewers participating in her works and casual audie

  • Maria Lalou (born in 1977) is a Greek contemporary conceptual artist, critical thinker and scholar. She explores the topic of viewing, incorporating cinematic apparatus and surveillance as part of her tools, with central references to the politics of the viewer. Her works negotiate about the notion of ‘viewing’ as a civic negotiation, by the means of a performative act, an active presence, an empirical duration, a filmic artefact and a political statement. Her art works are in the edge of social experiments and practised rhetorics by staging art installations on the steps of theory of the spectacle. She includes the viewer’s perspective in the completion of the works' significance, dividing her audiences in specific audience as the chosen viewers participating in her works and casual audience as the invited public to experience the works results she has directed with the contribution of significant others. On the strong conceptual tracks that Stephen Willats has marked, her artistic practise is based on cognitive models in the spectrum Installation Art, Performance Art, Art Film and Art Publications, negotiating with rules of Institutions. From her early stage in the Arts, she started composing performance-installations within the content of pseudo-scientific environments. A significant tool in her work is that particular identity of the white coat. The way Lalou is using the perception of her audiences is making her works critical to cultural norms, while experimenting with the boundaries of speculative theory and art making as a whole. In her research on the topic of view she has been including her article written for Roehampton University peer reviewed magazine and her first artist's book publication [θέατρο] in 2015. Being in the core of her instigations on the camera apparatus and its subjective role in society, her second book and art manifesto 'the camera' gets published at the end of 2019. In parallel, since 2012 she has an ongoing collaboration with the Danish architect Skafte Aymo-Boot, on their archival research in the un-finished concrete volumes of 'polykatoikia' in the city of Athens. The work is about concrete skeletons of Athens that engages the viewer in a process of looking into social, political and personal parts of the history of the city. Lalou and Aymo-Boot book Atlas of Athens' Incomplete Buildings-A Story of Hidden Antimonuments gets published in Autumn 2022 by Jap Sam Books in The Netherlands. Since early 2004 Lalou is sharing her time between the two cities of Athens and Amsterdam. (en)
