“Form, the Informal & the Formless”

Columbia University, GSAPP, New York, NY, USA (2016)

In 2016, Maria Fragoudaki was invited by Professor Andrew Phillip Heid to present her research and work at the advanced architecture studio at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP). Her discussion focused on Form, the Informal, and the Formless, as well as her perspective on the “status of resistance” in both her art and the broader field.

Tulsa Girls Art School, Tulsa Oklahoma

Tulsa, Oklahoma (2014, 2015)

Invited by Executive Director Matt Moffett, Maria Fragoudaki taught financial management and life skills at Tulsa Girls Art School (TGAS), a non-profit organization that empowers underserved girls through visual arts education. During her residency, she spoke with students about Greek mythology and led a mythology-inspired art project.

“I was impressed that she left a career in chemistry to become a full-time artist,” says Moffett. “She loves Wonder Woman and comic book art, and she’s passionate about empowering girls. I wanted her to come to TGAS to share her abstract techniques with the students.”
