Biography
Mikhail Karikis’s work emerges from his long-standing investigation of the human voice as a sculptural material and a conceptual compass, which he employs to explore notions of community and politics of work, impossibility and address of difference. Karikis's interdisciplinary approach embraces visual art, performance and sound, often generating collaborative projects engaging other art practitioners or specific communities positioned outside the mainstream. His work ranges from the poetic to the theatrical, and activates the potential for ruptures both in perception and ethical concerns.
Karikis's work has been shown at the Danish Pavilion, 54th Venice Biennale, Manifesta 9, the 3rd Thessaloniki Biennale, Tate Britain, Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Coreana Musuem (Seoul) and elsewhere.
