And with our new overall
contemporary program at the Fine
Arts Museums, work is not supposed to be presented in a gallery
of white cubes, one, two, three, but as bold and playful interventions using our
premises in an unusual way, sometimes creating tension between the classical and
contemporary art context.
One month prior to the official opening
of the main exhibition
of the Biennale, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, the State
Museum of Contemporary Art (SMCA), in its capacity as organising body, hereby announces the names
of the participating artists who will present their works in four venues in Thessaloniki: at the SMCA's site at Moni Lazariston, the
Contemporary Art Center
of Thessaloniki at Warehouse B1, Thessaloniki port, in the
premises of the Macedonian
Museum of Contemporary Art and at the Mount Athos Center.
