Les Nouveaux Riches publishes an interview between Niko Abramidis &NE and Kristina Deska Nikolić on the occasion of the exhibition present pendulum at max goelitz in Berlin, in which the artist discusses his studio rituals, the role of mythology and metamodernism in his work, and the process behind his upcoming solo exhibition. The conversation also touches on the influence of technology on his practice, his perspective on the medium of drawing in the digital age, and his concept of "Future Archaeology".
The solo exhibition by Niko Abramidis &NE explores a mythology of the present marked by artistic analysis, comic-like exaggeration, and a hopeful aesthetic. Based on the concept of "metamodernity", Niko Abramidis &NE's current works create visual worlds of an undecided future, oscillating like a pendulum between utopia and dystopia, in search of a new equilibrium.
