"Real Estate" is the collaborative project between two artists, Ersi Varveri and Vasilis Papageorgiou
Ersi Varveri
Born in Athens, in 1984.
With her work she is primarilly aiming to criticise and comment on current affairs and whatever makes the headlines while putting forward main issues of popular culture. Her work includes large scale installations as well as installations in smaller scale incorporat- ing mixed techniques (videos, digital print-outs, photos and drawings) in order to create an alternative artistic ambience. On certain occassions she has intervened in public space with intent on re-establishing our relationship with the urban environment. A graduate of the School of Fine Arts of Athens, department of Painting (2011), she has also studied at the School of Fine Arts of the Kunstunivesitat in Linz Austria on an Eras- mus exchange programme(2007). She has participated in projects and workshops, both individual and group exhibitions in Greece and overseas. A principal member of the BA17, a group activated on producing vj performances and various artistic projects. Alongside, she is designing her personal cloth- ing line under the logo WHEAR.
