Floating Territories

The Evens Foundation presents:
Floating Territories
Transbiennial project
6-16 September 2007
Part of the special programming of the International Art Biennials of Istanbul, Athens and Venice

For the program details, see: www.floatingterritories.org

Floating Territories is a concept created in 2007 by the Evens Foundation. In a Europe in motion, caught between fear and optimism, this project sought to stimulate the creation of a new territory, a heterotopia, in order to question the conditions of change in the context of the rapidly changing Euro-Mediterranean region.

Floating Territories was a laboratory, a program, a voyage - but it was also an actual, chartered boat on to which artists, curators, thinkers and experts from various backgrounds were invited to explore the responsibilities and limits of art, in the context of an ever-evolving Europe.

As a platform for artistic production, it offered the opportunity to develop a dynamic and experimental perspective inter-connected with the contemporary art biennials of Istanbul, Athens and Venice.

Over the course of its ten-day journey, linking Istanbul, Athens and Venice, the project spawned an eclectic variety of projects and events, on board and in the respective cities: artistic interventions, performances, concerts, screenings, public discussions, etc.
