Although tested by the current social conditions and the downsizing of available fi- nancial resources, the 6th Thessaloniki Biennale is to be executed using the Museum's own resources –its manpower and collaborative relationships– to take full advantage of the region's existing cultural capital, as well as the wealth of Thessaloniki’s architectural heritage. The core aspiration of the 6th Biennale is to cultivate a model of co-curation, to diffuse contemporary art throughout the city, and to utilise synergies in Greece and abroad. Home, as an imagined construct, constitutes the thematic core of the 6th Thessaloniki Biennale. The terms “hearth” (hestía) and “home”, here refer to notions not only of residence, but also of community and homeland, a place where one feels safe and ac- cepted, has one's roots, and develops the core of one's social and family relationships. Today, however, for much of the world the above notions are uncertain, with thousands of people obliged to leave their homelands for other, hopefully safer, places. These no- tions therefore exist only within the imaginary, as constructs, pro- jections and expectations. Taking today's increasing immigrant influx as its starting point, the 6th Thessaloniki Biennale focuses on the fluidity and continuous redefinition of the notion of “home”. The topics upon which the re- search and formation of the artistic, educational, and exhibition programs are based are therefore: the contemporary diaspora; iden- tities; the emerging feelings of familiarity; new practices of assim- ilation, acceptance, and co-existence that correspond to alternative understandings of gender, religion, family, and community in the widest sense possible. translation from Greek: Andrew Spyrou M A I N PROGRAM MAIN EXHIBITION 30.09.2017-14.01.2018 Mount Athos Center 109 Egnatias St. Mon & Wed 09:00-16:00, Tue-Thu-Fri 09:00-20:00 Sat 09:00-15:00 Sun closed Τ: (+30) 2310 263308, 2310 250648 Contemporary Art Center of Thessaloniki Warehouse Β1, Port of Thessaloniki Tue-Wed-Fri-Sat-Sun 10:00-18:00, Thu 10:00-22:00 Mon closed Τ: (+30) 2310 593270 State Museum of Contemporary Art 21 Kolokotroni St., Moni Lazariston Tue-Wed-Fri-Sat-Sun 10:00-18:00, Thu 10:00-22:00 Mon closed Τ: (+30) 2310 589141 & 143 Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art 154 Egnatias St. (TIF-Helexpo) Thu 10:00-22:00, Fri 10:00-19:00, Sat 10:00-18:00 Sun 11:00-15:00, Mon-Tue-Wed closed T: (+30) 2310 240002 GENERAL ADMISSION SMCA: 3€ / CACT: 3€ / MMCA: 4€ / Mount Athos Center: free Admission free for certain groups with a valid ID, concessions and combined tickets.

    YAMA KOWA The multimedia artist was born into the world of art, as the daughter of the curator and art historian Wieland Schmied. Seeking distance and identity, she initially focused primarily on theater acting and found her true love in live art performance. She founded ACT.ART.OUT. performance theater in 2013 and is focusing fully on life-art ever since. Painting, video, collage or installations are only appearing as elements of her performative work. A speciality of her artistic practise is the work in performance cycles. So she brings the spontaneous and ephemere of live art performance in alignment with a kontinuity in time that might examine a topic over a dozen years or longer, and since the six weeks ongoing durational 2018 she developed an almost addictive preference to this sort of excessively meditative encounters.

Volcán, 1979, color photograph Carolee Schneemann, Study for Up to and Including Her Limits, 1973, color © The Estate of Ana Mendieta Collection, LLC photograph, photo credit: Antony McCall Courtesy Galerie Lelong & Co., New York Courtesy of the Estate of Carolee Schneemann, Galerie Lelong & Co., and Licensed by Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York P·P·O·W, New York “These obsessive acts of re-asserting my ties with the earth are really a manifestation of my thirst for being.” Ana Mendieta Galerie Lelong & Co. and P·P·O·W present Irrigation Veins: Ana Mendieta and Carolee Schneemann, Selected Works 1966 – 1983, an online exhibition exploring the artists’ parallel histories, iconographies, and shared affinities for ancient forms and the natural world. Galerie Lelong and P·P·O·W have a history of collaboration and have co-represented Carolee Schneemann since 2017. This will be the first time the two artists are shown together in direct dialogue, an exhibition Schneemann proposed during the last year of her life. In works such as Mendieta’s Volcán (1979) and Schneemann’s Study for Up To and Including Her Limits (1973), both artists harnessed physical action to root themselves into the earth, establishing their ties to the earth and asserting bodily agency in the face of societal restraints and repression. Both artists identified as painters prior to activating their bodies as material; Mendieta received a MA in painting from the University of Iowa in 1972, and Schneemann received an MFA from the University of Illinois in 1961.

  • Fresh Meat Rituals: Confronting the Flesh in Performance Art
    FRESH MEAT RITUALS: CONFRONTING THE FLESH IN PERFORMANCE ART A THESIS IN Art History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS By MILICA ACAMOVIC B.A., Saint Louis University, 2012 Kansas City, Missouri 2016 © 2016 MILICA ACAMOVIC ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FRESH MEAT RITUALS: CONFRONTING THE FLESH IN PERFORMANCE ART Milica Acamovic, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2003 ABSTRACT Meat entails a contradictory bundle of associations. In its cooked form, it is inoffensive, a normal everyday staple for most of the population. Yet in its raw, freshly butchered state, meat and its handling provoke feelings of disgust for even the most avid of meat-eaters. Its status as a once-living, now dismembered body is a viscerally disturbing reminder of our own vulnerable bodies. Since Carolee Schneeman's performance Meat Joy (1964), which explored the taboo nature of enjoying flesh as Schneeman and her co- performers enthusiastically danced and wriggled in meat, many other performance artists have followed suit and used raw meat in abject performances that focus on bodily tensions, especially the state of the body in contemporary society. I will examine two contemporary performances in which a ritual involving the use of raw meat, an abject and disgusting material, is undertaken in order to address the violence, dismemberment and guilt that the body undergoes from political and societal forces. In Balkan Baroque (1997), Marina Abramović spent three days cleansing 1,500 beef bones of their blood and gristle amidst an installation that addressed both the Serbo-Croatian civil war and her personal life.

  • Reading, Because of Love by Andrea Pagnes (Vestandpage) This
    Reading, Because of Love By Andrea Pagnes (VestAndPage) This is not exactly a book review, but my humble thoughts skewed one after the other— a visceral empathic response to Franko’s life story, one of the artists who most inspired my journey through art. When someone tells you of his/her life, exposing his/her heart, every moment assumes its importance, even the most apparently banal. As we get to know a person better, there is a natural process that acts on our affective sphere. It is a mechanism mostly responsible for building friendship and respect. At least metaphorically, it can be said that the people we know and value inhabit a part of our brain. We have a copy of them stored in our memory: not an exact reproduction but series of images valid enough to stimulate our intellect and emotional intelligence. Some books offer very concentrated social information. They are to our social interests like fresh water is to the part of our brain when we are thirsty. For readers who are concerned with anything that has social and causal implications, those books are there to satisfy these interests. They stimulate reflection. Not all books, of course, but above all good essays and novels, and those with the focus on a single character, biographies and autobiographies. I always feel a certain fascination when an author of a book unlocks the doors of his/her world through an uncompromised way of writing. It is like receiving an open invitation to enter inside a place once kept secret and share what is there to be found, and so to imagine, mirror, recognise.

Taking this corporal research as a core, Darıcıoğlu deals with hegemonic political/societal concepts and norms through her* artistic practice which radiates from performance art to, more widely, time and space based disciplines like video, installation anD public interventions. If anD when she* needs to define herself as an artist, she* chooses to use the ‘queer artist’ title. Her* take of ‘queer’ does not only refer to an area beyond heterosexuality and binary sex, but also to a platform beyond normativity as such. Between 2012-2019, the artist was in the advisory team of a queer theory books collection called Queer Düş’ün [Queer Fantasy/Thought] released by Sel Publishing House. She* is also the translator of numerous books in this collection.

  • Spaced, Art out of Place
    Page 97 / June 2014 SPACED, ART OUT OF PLACE The experiences of the Free University of Liverpool and the CyberMohalla project as examples of alternative education Andrea Pagnes (VestAndPage) Don’t think they prefer the drudgery of the desk and the slavery to their circulation and to the business manager to the joy of writing. They have tried to write, and they have failed. And right there is the cursed paradox of it.1 ( Jack London, 1909) Preamble In the decades of the 1980s and the 1990s, alienation was described as a cognitive space overcharged with nervous and conditioning incentives to act, frequently de- riving from external forces to select and exclude individuals who fail to meet often badly regulated specific requirements. The dramatic economical crisis of the recent years has contributed to making individual and household debt a post post-modern form of slavery, due to the toxic effects of unscrupulous financial policies. Within this context, higher education has also become an issue linked almost exclusively to the economic status of the student and his/her family, or his/her pos- sibility of contracting a considerable loan at a certain interest to be able to complete his/her studies. This has created a form of non-meritocratic selection and unjust exclusion, evidencing another discrepancy in the idea of globalization, whose great promise now lies in ruins. The relentless pressure of production aimed at satisfy- ing the constrictive logic of the capitalistic markets and their financial oligarchies, weakening the individual’s will and his/her decision-making capacity to act dif- ferently, paints the picture of a dystopian future.
