"NO COUNTRY FOR YOUNG MEN"
CONTEMPORARY GREEK ART IN TIMES OF CRISIS

BOZAR - Center for Fine Arts, Brussels 2014

Curated by Katerina Gregos

This exhibition brings together work by more than 30 leading contemporary Greek artists whose work addresses the impact of the economic crisis on their country. Their work transcends the everyday coverage of political and economic developments and offers an insightful look at what is going on in Greece today. The focus, however, is not only restricted to the negative effects: the exhibition also looks at the opportunities the crisis offers for a reinvention of the country.
On the last Thursday of every month (27 March, 24 April, 29 May, and 26 June), between 6 pm and 9 pm, visitors to the exhibition can benefit from the presence of a trilingual (French, Dutch, and English, free of charge) guide, who will invite you to enter into a dialogue with a view to helping you understand the works better.
