Bologna hosted the IV Biennial of Young Artists from Mediterranean Europe
Organized together by the City and the University, it coincided with the 9th Centenary of the University and the two events shared the will to represent the height of the cultural experimentation that had characterized the city.
The Biennial reminded the attention on the intelligence, talent and creativity of young artists and it led to think about further developments, assuming its full sense only oriented to the future. That’s why the Biennial wasn’t intended as a mere glittering showcase but as a starting point to be developed in several directions, following the entire procedure from creation to market and offering to the artists not the generic visibility of an ordinary audience, but the competent eye of those who can offer further and more elevated opportunities.
In comparison with the former edition in Barcelona, disciplines were again re-defined: Applied Arts, Photography, Dance, Theatre, Cinema and Video, Architecture, Ceramic, Design, Graphic, Illustration, Scenography, Fashion, Jewelry-making, Music, contemporary Music, Comics, Poetry and Literature.
