Biennale in the words of Macel will be “designed by artists, for artists and by artists”.
In the six months of the Biennale, an artist will invite every week viewers on an open table – with a view to exchanging ideas and conversation, while in the weeks before the start of the operation of the Biennale a new video will go up daily to the official website, with more information about the artists.
This is one of the most important art exhibitions in the world, is also the oldest one, and started in 1893. The last event in 2015, not thrilled, especially the critics. Entitled “All the world’s futures” (“the Whole world of things to come”), had a rather “dark” character with projects that mostly “were critical to capitalism and consumerism and in a dirty profit at the same time depend on these for their survival,” as he wrote the art critic of the Observer, Laura Cumming. The 2105 Greece was represented by Maria Papadimitriou. This year Greece will represent George Δρίβας curated by Orestis Andreadakis (it is worth noting that the commissioner of representation will be the National Museum of Contemporary Art) with the project “Laboratory of Dilemmas,” a narrative installation based on “Ικέτιδες” of Aeschylus.
