The 3rd Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art
"Old Intersections-Make it New"
Thessaloniki, Greece
18 September–18 December 2011
MAIN PROGRAMME
"A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE"
Curators: Paolo Colombo, Mahita El Bacha Urieta, Marina Fokidis
Assistant Curators: Domna Gounari, Anna Mykoniati (SMCA)
Architect: Andreas Angelidakis
The programme derives its inspiration from the city, as a metaphor of the powerful multicultural character of its past history. Each and every one of the biennale venues (5 historical monuments and 5 museums) constitutes an episode of the all-embracing narrative. These episodes are inspired both by the former and the current use of these buildings, by the past and contemporary contribution to the social life and political game of the city, and the artists and the works hosted have been chosen within this particular framework.
Venues: Alatza Imaret, Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, Bey Hamam, Museum of Byzantine Culture, Casa Bianca, Contemporary Art Centre of Thessaloniki, Eptapyrgio, Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art, State Museum of Contemporary Art, Teloglion Foundation of Art-AUTh.
