Dionisis Christofilogiannis (b. 1973, Greece) lives and works in Greece. He is a visual artist and Associate Lecturer I at the Frances Rich School of Fine and Performing Arts of The American College of Greece – DEREE. He studied painting at the School of Fine Arts in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and holds both an MA and a PhD. He also studied Industrial Design at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland (MA), and Mechanical Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University, England (BSc). Dionisis Christofilogiannis’ work investigates the traces of mythology, memory, and tradition within contemporary society. His practice moves between installation, sculpture, painting, and socially engaged projects, often exploring memory, ritual, architecture, and collective experience through temporary interventions and material transformation. Since 2017, he has been directing the Athens-based art space Space52 , an artist-run initiative supporting local creatives and actively pursuing collaborations with international art spaces and professionals. Space52 has received the NEON award, as well as production grants from the Greek Ministry of Culture for exhibitions developed with Greek and international artists and curators. Christofilogiannis’ most recent project is MOMAFAD (Museum of Modern Art for a Day), presented as part of the exhibition “SunShip” at the CITYX Venice Italian Virtual Pavilion of the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale. The launch of MOMAFAD—including the screening of the documentary and an open public discussion—took place at the EMST – National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens. His works are included in major public and private collections, such as the Onassis Foundation – Onassis StegiMOMus – Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts, Thessaloniki, Bob Wilson’s Watermill CenterCentre Pompidou in Paris, Eleusis 2023 European Capital of Culture, Goethe-Institut Athenthe Bodosakis Foundation in Athens, the Tarohei Nakagawa Collection in Tokyo, and numerous private collections in Greece and abroad.
