| Introduction | Georgia Kotretsos is a visual artist and founder of Boot Print magazine based in Athens, Greece. Kotretsos has attained an MFA Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago on a Full Merit Scholarship, (2004) in the United States and a BFA Degree from The Durban Institute of Technology, in Natal, (2000) in South Africa. Her works are emblematic references to creations that investigate allusions to the aesthetics of the post-minimalist period in which institutional critique had been the major issue. The artist investigates with wit and conceptual tools the relation of an artwork to its audience. In her artistic practice the framework, context and connotations of the work constitute her object of investigation. She is a founding agent of the Boots Contemporary Art Space, St. Louis MO, USA and the founder & editor-in-chief of Boot Print, an international biannual publication dedicated to contemporary art - published by Boots, www.bootsart.com. She also write for the Art in the Twenty-First Century blog in New York where Georgia has a monthly column called “Inside the Artist’s Studio”. Recently, she began contributing to Highlights magazine here in Athens too. |
