Angeliki Tzortzakàki

Angeliki Tzortzakaki (GR/NL) is a curator, writer and tutor. Her research interests orbit around what a body can or can not do whether human, organic or none of the above, considering aspects of its labour and performativity while moving beyond natureculture binaries. She has curated and participated in programmes such as All of Greece One Culture, 2024 (Gortyn, Crete), the 2024 Sonic Acts Biennial (Amsterdam), 8th edition of THF RAW (Athens), 2023 ELEVSIS, and the 19th Mediterranea Biennial (San Marino); as well as Saari & HIAP (Helsinki), Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen (Innsbruck), Theatrum Mundi/Onassis Foundation (London, Athens), JaJaJa NeeNeeNee (Amsterdam) and PARADISE AiR (Matsudo). In 2021-2022, Angeliki received the SNF Curatorial Fellowship ARTWORKS while previously was a research fellow at the nomadic programme A Natural Oasis? (2018-20).

At Rupert, Angeliki will be researching wearability and textuality and the consequential oppression and resilience tactics addressed in performative artistic practices. During this 1-month residency, Angeliki will look closer at the work of (Baltics-based) artists of different generations who have been using elements from the history of costume to address narratives around the body, the materials and their context.
