Georgia Sagri, born 1979 studied music and art in Athens and New York. At the center of her practice lies the exploration of performance as an ever-evolving field within social and visual life, interconnected, though distinct from the dialectics of representation in theatre, music and dance. In addition to performance pieces she has been developing in the past fifteen years, a great part of her artistic output comprises video and computer works, texts, installations and drawings. She was included in the Biennale de Lyon (2013), ProBio, Expo 1: MoMA PS1, New York (2013) and the Whitney Biennial (2011). She is the founder of the audio-only magazine FORTÉ (magazineforte.com) and the founder of SALOON, an on-going collaborative project.
