Aristedes Logothetis

I am part of a diaspora. I navigate different longings. I want to assimilate, to rebel, to absorb, to release. Of course these dichotomies are facile and exemplary of the strictures of language, rather than the true multiplicities of experience. It is these multiplicities that are most interesting to me because they offer a more real representation of the events in our perception.

While my Greek ethnicity informs my fascination with the structure of Anglo-American class and culture (including the regulation of race), my gender experience informs my fascination with identity constructs from fashion, to color, to "taste", as well as the organization and codes of power, sex, and control. In addition, the constant changes in science and technology elicit in me feelings of wonder and concern. I explore these detail-oriented investigations through my art making process.
