Assistant professor Vicky Pericleous’ practice-let research work, investigates her long interest in the Production of Space and Perceptions of Place, in respect to Post and Neo-Colonial Situations, extending into ideas and plausibilities of Meta-Geographical Relations and Cultural Imaginaries. Her work moves within interdisciplinary areas and diverse media. It includes site-specific installations, happenings and performances in off gallery venues, involving the urban and socio-political landscape. It encompasses a variety of means and mediums, such as collages, drawing, installations, site-specific interventions, mixed media, performace and video.  In both her research and practice, a variety of media, agents and mechanisms are being employed to examine how different modes of production, affect the image’s perceptions and its reading(s). These creative processes distant themselves from traditional art disciplines, while establishing critical proximities and reflections in relation to them, in errant manners. The idea of the fragment as well as notions around spatio-temporal speculations are negotiated throughout her artistic oeuvre. An open and ongoing interrelationship of her practice as an artist and as an academic in the pedagogy of the Arts has determined, informed and shaped her critical and creative input in both areas for the past twenty years. Through this interconnected relation she has pushed forward over the years, imaginative exchange of ideas, concepts, knowledge production -and their dissemination-, bringing forth synergies between students, cultural producers and cultural bodies; implementing expertise, as well as develop imaginative positions on an array of relevant academic, administrative and socially engaged contexts.She has acted out as the first co-ordinator of the MA Contemporary Art Practices Program of the Fine & Appied Arts Department of Frederick University.
