        Poka Yio

        artist and curator, Athens

      2. Poka-Yio (born 1970) is a visual artist and curator. He is cofounder and codirector of the Athens Biennale and member, with Xenia Kalpaktsoglou, of the curatorial duo X&Y. His work revolves around the bipole of attraction and repulsion. From painting to gastronomy and from coaching to curating, Poka-Yio uses narration as his main tool. His recent curatorial projects with X&Y include: Destroy Athens, the 1st Athens Biennale, Athens, 2007 (with Augustine Zenakos) and Monodrome, the 3rd Athens Biennale, Athens, 2011 (with Nicolas Bourriaud). Poka-Yio lives and works in Athens. [Last updated 2014]
