About
Klitsa Antoniou

Klitsa Antoniou is an internationally acclaimed artist, researcher, and Professor of Fine Arts. Her transdisciplinary practice engages with trauma, displacement, and the fragility of memory, often interrogating the entangled politics of space, belonging, and the tensions that emerge around boundaries and separation. Drawing from critical theory, philosophy, and geopolitics, Antoniou investigates how individual and shared histories are formed, hidden, and communicated across social and territorial landscapes. Through performative strategies, she evokes the instability of place and identity, transforming space into a site of ritual and reclamation. Her installations challenge linear narratives, embracing fragmentation and uncertainty to reveal what resists representation. Influenced by Lyotard’s idea of the impossibility of total recall, her work gives shape to the immemorial—those elusive traces that persist beyond memory and forgetting—revealing the unseen forces of historical, existential, and affective power.

Antoniou studied Fine Art at Wimbledon School of Art and Saint Martin’s School of Art and Design (BFA), followed by an MFA at Pratt Institute and doctoral studies at New York University (D.A.). In 2014, she was awarded a PhD in Theory and Philosophy of Art by the Cyprus University of Technology. She is the founder and coordinator of Cut Contemporary Fine Arts Lab, established in 2019 as a platform for research-led artistic inquiry and collaborative experimentation. Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues including the Herzliya Museum (Israel), Bozar Expo (Belgium), Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (Greece), Palais du Rhin/Drac Alsace (France), and the Museum of the Arts of the 20th and 21st Century (Russia). In 2019, Antoniou represented Malta at the 58th Venice Biennale with her critically acclaimed project Atlantropa-X.

Founder and Director of Cut Contemporary Fine Arts Lab

Cut Contemporary Fine Arts Lab, initiated and launched in 2019 by Klitsa Antoniou, is an interdisciplinary research group within the Fine Arts Department of the Cyprus University of Technology. Cut Contemporary Fine Arts Lab aims to support Experimental Art Practices and Theoretical Research within the context of current local/global/glocal geopolitical and social issues.
It aims to achieve this by:
• Exploring contemporary art and curatorial practices as forms of critical inquiry, social engagement and knowledge production focusing on the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
• Promoting participatory arts and the political through transculturation, memory, embodiment, performance/performativity, and the senses.
• Encouraging the collaboration and integration of theoretical academic research into contemporary and experimental artistic practices where knowledge is enacted, produced and shared.
It aims to reach out to other national/international artists, curators and scholars working across disciplines and practices and to establish synergies with international partners through seminars, conferences, artistic and academic residencies as well as exhibitions.

Parallax
Parallax was an installation designed and constructed by a team of students at Kornos Forest Area in October 2015. The installation was named Parallax (παράλλαξις (parallaxis), meaning the displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semiangle of inclination between those two lines. Nearby objects have a larger parallax than more distant objects when observed from different positions, so parallax can be used to determine distances.

2014

Makariou Campus
The “Makariou Campus” was a temporary satellite campus (an extension of the Frederick University Department of Architecture) in the heart of Nicosia in 2014. It intended, through a series of projects and events, to transfer the processes of what constitutes an architecture / design education to Makariou St and open them up to the public for view and participation, to create an interactive environment of learning, creativity and production. All of the actions that were taking place, were based on the idea of bringing the public closer to the education process of a design school and at the same time to develop the influence of the city center life and the communication with the public to the students. Concept, Organization and Curating by academic staff: Klitsa Antoniou, Delis Papadopoulos and Eleonora Antoniadou.
