Randi Nygård participates in the exhibition 'NO BORDERS JUST N.E.W.S' at the Thessaloniki Center of Contemporary Art, 19 June - 28 September.
Venue: Thessaloniki Center of Contemporary Art, Palia Psygeia in the harbour of Thessaloniki.
Twenty-two art schools in 22 European countries... "come together" through the works of 29 of their graduates who transcend all borders and provide proof of the common - although with many different "dialects" - language of art in the exhibition titled "NO BORDERS (Just N.E.W.S.*)", which is being organised by the Contemporary Art Center of Thessaloniki in collaboration with the International Association of Art Critics (AICA) and the European Centre for Contemporary Art in Brussels "La Centrale Électrique" from 19 June (opening at 21:00) to 28 September 2008.
The purpose of the exhibition titled "NO BORDERS (Just N.E.W.S.*)" (in actual fact N.E.W.S. constitutes the initials of North, East, West and South) is to raise the profile of young artists from all over Europe in a way that reveals both their common roots and their diversity of expression. In view of the high level of artistic exchange that already exists in Europe, it simultaneously seeks to give fresh opportunities to young artists just setting out on their careers to show in a different environment and interact with a new public, thus overcoming the limitations imposed by geopolitics.
