Christina Mitrentse (Thessaloniki, 1977) is an interdisciplinary artist, educator, and independent curator. Her work explores the book as form, content, and a metaphor for the human condition. Through installations, wall-based artworks, handcrafted sculptures, videos, drawings, and collages, she investigates themes of knowledge transmission and preservation. A key starting point for many of her works is a collective archive of books established through her conceptual artistic practice #BDF Bibliographic Data Flow, Add to My Library (2009). This resulting “meta-library” challenges, deconstructs, and reconfigures institutional knowledge. In other series, Mitrentse transforms the body and the pages of selected books into handcrafted sculptural objects, examining the interaction between the material and digital forms of books, as well as how information is communicated and perceived. Her practice is rooted in ongoing research, the transformation of an initial material into new systems of organization, and the act of "reading a reading". She has participated in international group exhibitions in museums such as the Tate Modern, The Royal Academy of Arts, ICA London, MOMus, and EMST. Her artworks are held in major private and public collections such as MOCA London, the Tate Archive, Goldsmiths University Women’s Library, Book Art Centre NY, the National Library in Baghdad,the Benaki Museum, and the Onassis Foundation, National Bank of Greece Cultural Foundation – ΜΙΕΤ. Her work has been featured in the publications The Word Is Art (Thames & Hudson, 2018) and Unselfmarked, Reconceiving the Artist’s Book (Uniformbooks, 2015). She lives and works in Athens and London.
