Manos Saklas (b. 1998, Athens) artist working across visual art, and electro-acoustic music. Rooted in his studies at the Xenakis CMRC & EMS Stockholm, his practice engages with cultural artifacts, and methodologies drawn from fields as diverse as conceptual art, greek mythology, early electronic music, and warfare technologies—underscoring their sociopolitical resonances.
In solo exhibition contexts, he creates listening spaces that evoke a sense of introspection, often combining rigorous and intuitive methodologies, auditory nuances and poetic sensibilities. Far from merely interpreting the sonic, his visual works and writings feed into the audible part and are somewhat sonorous themselves. They do not only challenge sensory hierarchies; but intensify the listening experience itself, which is often situated at the thresholds of perception, where sensory processes are being modulated, felt and observed.
Saklas' practice seeks to catch a glimpse of the imperceptible, not to exhaust and actualize it, like science, or purely conceptualize it, like philosophy, but by employing aesthetics to embrace unseen oscillations, flows, cracks and atmospheres as an artistic vocabulary. [1]
