Peter Eramian was born in Nicosia, Cyprus. He graduated from Goldsmiths College with a first-class B.A. (Hons) degree in Fine Art and History of Art in 2007 and then completed an M.A. in Philosophy at Birkbeck with an awarded distinction for his dissertation on Nietzsche’s philosophy of life-enhancement. In April 2010 he took on a 6 month contract at Fabrica (Benetton’s communications research centre in Italy), working with the time-based media department. Peter has recently moved back to London to begin a part-time PhD in Law at Birkbeck where he hopes to dig deeper in studying popular ideologies, critical pedagogic practices and human rights culture.

Peter is currently running a collaborative independent arts/philosophy publication called Shoppinghour (shoppinghour.net) and contributing editorially to the London-based intellectual journal Naked Punch (nakedpunch.com). Concurrently, he is preparing to launch The Cyprus Dossier, a new intellectual journal based in Cyprus.

Amongst various cities, Peter has exhibited in London, New York and Cyprus. His art practice lies in capturing the raw ironies of popular culture, especially in relation to questions of happiness and discourses of crisis.
