︎︎︎Positions in Contemporary Art: Europe Across Borders

Eleni Papazoglou is a Greek artist, designer and educator living and working between London and Athens. Through an economy of means applied to print, language and assemblage, their practice observes the shared societal systems that we use to relate to one another. In particular, they expose the often overlooked waste produced by language, labour and commerce; the discarded detritus of subsisting within late-stage capitalism. Examining and employing the aesthetics and vernacular of commerce, they question pre-existing value structures, developing coping mechanisms within consumerist systems that seek to exclude, minoritize or other. Eleni received their MA from the Royal College of Art, having previously completed their undergraduate studies in Graphic Design at Camberwell College of Arts. They lecture at the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London, and take on design commissions under the alias Call Your Friends.

The artist’s work has been subject of exhibitions at Soup Gallery, London; Fondation Pernod Ricard, Paris; Cafe OTO, London (all 2025); Calcio; Plicnik Space Initiative (both London, 2024); Biblioteka, London (2024, 2023); reclame, Amsterdam; PLOP, London (both 2023); SET Social, London (2023, 2022); Hypha Studios, London (2023); Sheffield Doc Fest x SET; The Collector's House, Athens; P.E.T.
