Alexis Fidetzis was born in ATHENS, where he currently resides and works. He studied painting at the ATHENS School of Fine Arts and the Munich Kunstakademie, while during his graduate studies in NEW YORK City (Pratt Institute, MFA, 2014) he explored research-based artistic practices focusing on matters of art and geopolitics. In his work, Fidetzis employs a multitude of media including installation, drawing, performance and video, alongside academic, pseudo-historical and conspiratorial writings, in a persistent effort to underscore the mechanics of identity construction in a modernist context. His works have been shown in museums, galleries and festivals in Greece, France, Germany, Switzerland and the United States.
