EUROPE

Grand exhibition of contemporary European art. To commemorate the European capital of culture,

the curatorial team of this year's festival has chosen artists from 26 European countries and invited

them to Ptuj. The diverse exhibition ranges from painting, photography, and video to spatial

installations and events such as live media sets and performances. The exhibition was prepared in

collaboration with prominent European public and private institutions, and it presents a rich

selection of artworks by over forty important European artists: from the great Slovakian artist Ilona

Nemeth to the great Polish video artist Lech Majewski, from renowned Estonian Tonis Saadoja to

younger, but equally important artists, such as Marco Bernardi from Italy, Kinki Texas from Germany,

and Jose Molina from Spain. The presentation of Europe will be rounded off with evening

performances (Paolo Angelosanto, The Area of Bustle, Elena Mazzi …) and lectures and workshops by

European artists and curators.
