Nik Pantazopoulos

Nik Pantazopoulos is an artist who situates his practice in post-conceptual photography and post-minimalism. He is concerned with the personal as political and focuses on immigrant queer histories that explore desire and psychosexual affect within the blurry divide between public and private space.

Nik Pantazopoulos completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts Photography at the Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne in 1998, Honours Sculpture RMIT, Masters of Fine Art at Goldsmiths University, London and a PhD in Art, Design and Architecture at Monash University in 2013. Pantazopoulos’ practice is a study in the materiality of photography, sculpture and spatial practice.
