The Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art has revealed the artists, participants, and projects of its upcoming edition.
Organised by MOMUS-Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki and curated by Nadja Argyropoulou.
Entitled everything must change. Radical Intelligence. Saloniki 9, it posits itself as a “para-biennale”, focusing on artworks made of diverse and sometimes contradictory tales, that provide a way to courageously confront the status quo, guiding emotional responses in the process.
