Visual artist Panos Sklavenitis curates for the first time an unexpected – and otherwise rather improbable – gathering of the various worlds of his project #thehead, as part of his participation in the main exhibition of the 8th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art. A large carnival-like procession of individuals and groups in their own disguises will perform their own ritual in the city center, following a route from the MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art (within TIF-Helexpo) to the Cultural Venue of Islahane – formerly Hamidie School of Arts & Crafts (2 Eleni Zografou Street).
At 17:00, in collaboration with the Cultural Venue of Islahane, there will be an open discussion about the artist’s work hosted in the same space.
In the context of a discussion on art, politics, and the post-human, in collaboration with the initiative “The Culture-Borders-Gender/Lab in the City”, the following will discuss the artist’s work: Fotini Tsibiridou, Professor of Social Anthropology and Director of the Laboratory (Department of Balkan, Slavic, and Oriental Studies / University of Macedonia), and Christina Grammatikopoulou, PhD in Art History and Theory, Postdoctoral Researcher (Department of Balkan, Slavic, and Oriental Studies / University of Macedonia), coordinated by Maria-Thaleia Karra, curator of the Biennale’s main exhibition “Being as Communion.”
