Art Of The Day Weekly
#396 - from 9 July 2015 to 9 September 2015
Believing in Europe...
Many of the exhibitions mentioned in our previous newsletters will remain open during July and August: Basquiat at Bilbao, Audrey Hepburn in London, Piero di Cosimo in Florence, Frederick Kiesler in Vienna, Man Ray in Copenhagen. But there is such pressure for contemporary events that each day new openings are announced. Consequently, here is a new choice, partial and biased, that may at least allow you to criss-cross a continent full of doubts, from Paris to Budapest, from London to Ostend. With a trump card at a moment where the future of Greece dangles from a string: the fifth Thessaloniki Biennale of contemporary art which takes as its emblem a beautiful phrase by Antonio Gramsci: “Between the Pessimism of the Intellect and the Optimism of the Will”. The future will tell which one won.
