CTRLZAK Art and Design studio was founded in 2008 in Milan by Greek-Italian duo of artists Katia Meneghini and Thanos Zakopoulos. They create works of art, objects, spaces and situations that allow the creation and the establishment of human relationships. Katia Meneghini was born in Cittadella, in Veneto, she studied Graphic Design and Photography in Padua and then she graduated in Conservation of Cultural Assets at the University of Ca’ Foscari in Venice. She then post-graduated in Visual Arts at the IUAV University of Venice. She took part to several art projects and workshops, especially at the Royal Accademy of Fine Arts of Copenhagen in Denmark, at the FAAP of Sao Paulo in Brazil and at the Unidee program of Cittadellarte Fondazione Pistoletto in Italy. Thanos Zakopoulos is a Greek artist, designer and photographer. His artworks show his eclecticism, through which he mingles different disciplines and situations in order to create projects halfway between contemporary art and design. He participated in different exhibitions all over the world and gave lectures in Europe and China. He is always travelling all around the world, in search of remote and strange places. Through their projects, both artists investigate traditions from different cultural contexts, inferring notions from the past in order to build a new hybrid future. These artists experience narrative methods that allow the fusion between irony and symbolism. The created products lead to a deep reflection on memory and on the history of a place, without sacrificing aesthetics and functionality. The eclecticism of Meneghini and Zakopoulos’s works allows the artists to move among several sectors, starting from the ideation of objects and interiors and ending with “site specific” installations.
