The 1st Mykonos Biennale is taking place this
summer, on June 21-23, when more than 100 international artists will visit the
islands of Mykonos and Delos -on UNESCO’s World Heritage list- this month to
partake in the event, "an artist-run, avant-garde festival of new media,
film and art."
The theme is "Crisis and Paganism," which "mocks the crisis industry’s choice of Greece as a main protagonist in their current financial disaster scenario."
Of course, this is not just your average biennale. The Mykonos version makes its own statement: "This is not a biennale," but a symposium where art and philosophy meet…its ambition being to create a unique event, where personalities are invited to communicate the spirit of humanity.

open air video film festival, lively discussions and debates.
