Papadopoulos Kostis
Kostis Papadopoulos was born and immediately realized that the journey would be difficult.He found it hard to run through his basic education, mainly due to the fact that his mind was abstracted by other things (crossbows, tree houses, roller skates).Despite all these, he traveled a lot around the world, playing music on the streets, he learned to survive and cook, to savor and hear, to construct whatever he needed, to speak languages, make jewellery, crêpes and songs, to sew and knit, to ride a bicycle without using his hands and to fix almost everything.He has recorded 8 albums with the group “Apurimac” and he recently learned how to format his hard drive.He also studied painting, sculpture and stage design at the School of Fine Arts in Athens and the Ecole des Beaux Arts, in Paris.Exhibitions and other art adventures1986 : “STUDY ON RHYTHMICS” Painting exhibition, with light and music1987 : “SPACE DISARRANGEMENT – SYNTHERGON” Exhibition with 3-dimensional painting and constructions with artificial sounds and special lighting 1989 : “LOGOS” Modern Opera in a tunnel.
