MgA. Nicolas Prokop is a Czech-German multidisciplinary artist, currently residing in Athens but based in Prague. He finished his masters in the studio of Fine Arts I lead by Zuzana Jakalova and Dominik Lang at the Academy for Arts, Design and Architecture in Prague, 2023.
Prokop mainly works in the medium of installation, often engaging with the immediate environment or further including sound and video, but clearly originating in sculpture. In coherence of topics and approach, his works are site specific, interventions in public space or performative; generally drawing attention to the processual nature of things, interweaving topics with the process of creation and materiality. His artistic practice is often based on natural materials with a strong focus on dématérialisation and re-materialization in an organic aesthetic. Through his practise he is creating imaginations of other habitats, microscopic world views or inter-species relations, through a research-based approach.
Besides his artistic practice, he is co-founder and member of the international collective Leštnice z.s., the multidisciplinary event series Priaum and a resident Dj of Prague's renowned club Ankali.
