VII BIENNIAL OF YOUNG ARTISTS FROM EUROPE AND THE MEDITERRANEAN – LISBON 1994

15 – 24 November 1994

 Several innovations characterized the VII edition of the Biennial.

First of all, the International Committee approved changing the initial denomination Biennial of Young Artists from Mediterranean Europe to Biennial of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean. This change, even if small, was significant: it meant that all countries of the Mediterranean could be present and that the countries of Southern Europe with distant geographical locations could participate within their own right. This opened a safe door to the enlargement of the members of the International Committee, that included two new Countries: Slovenia and Albania.

Moreover, the Biennial project in Lisbon was developed for the first time by an Association, the Portuguese Club of Arts and Ideas, instead of an Institution, showing an example of the trust among Public Structures and non-governmental organization that is necessary for the success of such an event.

The Biennial was organized in the same year of Lisbon-94 European Capital of Culture; for that reason there were a series of collateral activities in the city.

Disciplines were re-defined in the following ones: Architecture, Applied Arts, Comics and Illustration, Cinema and Video, Dance, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Fashion Design, Photography, Gastronomy, Urban Design, Jewelry, Literature, Contemporary Music, Modern Music, Theatre.

Numbers

600 artists and 150 practitioners from 13 Countries (Albania, Algeria, Cyprus, Croatia, Slovenia, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Republic of San Marino, Tunisia) attended the Biennial.

The most outstanding works of this Biennial were presented by the following artists: Ugo Alciati, chef from Italy, Alfons Alt, visual artist from Marseille, Vanessa Beecroft, Italian visual artist living in New York, Elisa Biagini, writer from Florence, Lara Bohinc, jewelry designer from Slovenia but living in London, Pier Paolo Coro, visual artist from the Republic of San Marino, Monica Francia, choreographer from Italy, Paul Granjon, intermedia artist from Marseille but living in Cardiff, Mao e la Rivoluzione, music group from Turin, Marcel-li Antunez Roca, visual artist and performer from Barcelona, Marko Peljhan, intermedia artist from Slovenia but living in USA, Stripburger Magazine, comic magazine from Ljubljana, Alessandra Tesi, visual artist from Prato,

Venues

All the expositions, the activities of the literature area and the Biennial Off took place in the Fabrica da Cordoaria Nacional (a former factory of ship sails and ropes).
