On the occasion of the upcoming 4th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art, the exhibition “1,2,3, b4” comes as a precursor of the 4th Thessaloniki Biennale program. The exhibition opens on June 18 and lasts until the 4th of September 2013, at the Contemporary Art Center of Thessaloniki – State Museum of Contemporary Art, in Warehouse B1, Thessaloniki port area. [Opening: Tuesday, 18 June 2013, 20:30. Opening hours Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday 10:00-18:00, Thursday 10:00-21:00]
The title of the exhibition refers to the Biennales that took place in the city of Thessaloniki in 2007, 2009 and 2011, while the pun b4 (= before) refers to the upcoming 4th Biennale of Contemporary Art, which will be hosted in the city by September 18th, 2013 at various venues with numerous exhibitions and events.
The exhibition
The artworks presented in the exhibition were productions of the previous Central and Parallel Programs of the organization (the three International Young Artists’ Workshops, as well as the last Performance Festival and the Public Screen Project). The works are donations from the artists to the collection of the State Museum of Contemporary Art and to the city of Thessaloniki.
The artworks selected and included in the exhibition now get into a completely new context and they are connected in a different exhibition scenography. Artists from different countries and backgrounds coexist in a project preparing the ground for the fourth year’s edition of this successful event. All works/projects reflect the ideological content of the previous Biennales, apart from reflecting their individual and international sociopolitical ideas and concepts.
Abandoned places-“heterotopias”, social and labor inequalities, images of modern Greece and the Mediterranean, symbols of oppression, ecological disasters, gender and identity issues are a few of the ideas that coexist and interact. The exhibition, apart from summing up all the previous events so far, is in addition the documentation of an important project that is closely linked to Thessaloniki, continuing to offer to the city’s life influential cultural wealth, as well as important international visibility
