Panayotis Lianos is an artist, architect, researcher, and tattooist based in Athens. He holds a degree from the School of Architecture of the National Technical University of Athens, an MFA from the Athens School of Fine Arts, and is currently a PhD candidate in Architecture at NTUA. His artistic research investigates collective forms of artistic production that can, potentially, create cracks within institutional frameworks, often reclaiming spaces through strategic disruptions. His multidisciplinary practice primarily involves collaborative projects, though he also produces individual works, employing diverse mediums such as immersive installations, computational art, drawing, tattooing, and site-specific interventions. His work moves fluidly between digital processes and physical materiality, bits and bodily gestures, data and blood.
Panayotis’s collaborative and individual projects have been exhibited at diverse venues such as the Urbanism\Architecture Bi-City Biennale (UABB), Hong Kong & Shenzhen; State of Concept, Athens; Cross-Section Archive, Athens; Saigon, Athens; Neo Cosmos, Athens; Ammophila, Elafonisos; Michalis Cacoyannis Foundation, Athens; and Union Pacific, London.
He is a member of the Laboratory for the Urban Commons and a founding member of the collaborative platform method brackets[] and the collective practice Ofrah Fergal Kasei. Through these symbiotic alliances, numerous co-authored interventions and publications have emerged, ranging from works placed in self-managed public spaces to those infiltrating institutions like the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens. Panayotis received the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship from ARTWORKS in 2022, and his PhD research is supported by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI).
