XV Biennial of Young Artists from Europe & the Mediterranean

The Biennial of Young Artists from Europe & the Mediterranean was founded in 1984, when its first edition was held in Barcelona, featuring artists from 6 different countries (Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, and Yugoslavia), alongside special guests from Arab and Balkan countries. Throughout its history, the biennial has been considered as the main platform for the creation and presentation of artists between 18 to 30 years old, working in a wide range of disciplines (from contemporary art and design, to music, film, fashion and gastronomy). In 2011, the biennial was held in Thessaloniki, presenting the work of more than 300 artists from 30 countries in venues and public spaces around the city.

Walking 4 Art project

Among the plethora of visual information, artists offer to the public the stimulus to re-discover the city they live in through artistic sensitivity, spotting various locations and forming different links between the everyday and the historic environment. As art’s extension and re-introduction into public space constitutes common artistic demand and desire, our city could be considered as a natural reception space of contemporary art.

Art in public space, as an ephemeral site-specific event, consists a dynamic local intervention, that is constantly re-defined, swinging between the site-specific and the community-specific. Public art, through languages and activities that enable it to penetrate the social fabric of the city, balancing between the everyday and the aesthetic experience, is capable -through its permanent or ephemeral presence- to provide an alternative conception of space and offer the impetus for a friendly relationship with the natural environment. The attempt is a reminder of how contemporary public opinion manipulation stems from mental rigidity and proposes ways to cover knowledge gaps due to the lack of audiences’ cultural education. It is an expression of disapproval, a comment and a reaction against the cultural environmental failure of our city and an attempt to constitute a “social vacuum” aiming to artistically implement a new communication utopia.
