Korovessi begun to create works that show the use of technology, music and science, resulting eventually in the’sound -sculptures’ which were later called SonArt. In 1988, Korovessi was awarded by the Municipality of Athens, ‘Work of Communication‘ through a public commission and creates the ’sound sculpture’,”Communication” (Messogeion Avenue, Athens). The Inmovements exhibition of 1993, the artist’s first solo show (Epoches gallery), was another turning point for the artist, exhibiting works made of wood, metal, stone.
In 1994 Korovessi represented Greece in the 4th Sculpture Triennale, France and 1997 saw the artist again awarded for her work and makes the National Resistance Monument, located at Karakolithos, Boeotia. |
