58th October Salon | Belgrade Biennale 2020 – The Dreamers is postponed until October
Initially scheduled for September 18, the 58th October Salon | Belgrade Biennale 2020 will open on October 16, 2020, announces The Cultural Centre of Belgrade. The Biennale has been postponed due to the pandemic, allowing time for a return to ‘normality’ and to impose and organise the necessary new measures of social distancing and limiting the number of visitors – the number of venues and live performances will also be reduced.
The Biennale is set to take place principally at the Belgrade City Museum in Resavska Street and the Cultural Centre of Belgrade Movie Theatre (provided that the cinema can be used by then).
The exhibition intends to investigate the complexity of our time, questioning the misleading nature of reality and the space occupied by dreams, intended as the metaphorical embodiment of a space of freedom, which is able to challenge the certainty of the real world, of acquired knowledge and of our own beliefs.
How can we perceive today’s world? What are the conditionings that interfere in our capacity to critically experience reality? How can artists explain the complexity of the human being in our current times? Dreams allow us to rethink our relationship with reality, with the truth of Nature, of the plant world and of the animal beings ?
The exhibition, curated by Ilaria Marotta and Andrea Baccin, will include the work of 55 international artists:
