Event Location: Thessaloniki 2011
5 October - 31 December, 2011

UK Young Artists is delighted to be working with BJCEM again this year for the XV Biennale de la Mediteranée. This year's Biennale is characterised by a new format, not just a single event, but a journey through the Mediterranean region, with the participation of 2 main cities – Thessaloniki in October and now Rome this weekend (December 2011).

The UK Artists selected to represent the UK at this year's biennale are

  • Ami Barnes
  • Andrew Jamison
  • Calvin Sangster
  • Daniel Marcus Clark
  • Gemma Coyle
  • Jocelyn Allen
  • Me and The Machine
  • Point Blank Poets
  • réaltympanica
  • Rebecca Wilson
  • Sam Spreckley
  • Sarah Mei Herman
  • Si Tew

 The 13 artists and art collectives were shortlisted last year from 48 applicants by a prestigious panel, including renowned performance artist Akram Khan and international artist Mariele Neudecker during our first inaugral event UKYA01 held in Derby.

During this year's European Biennale, artists will have the opportunity to take part in workshops and debates as well as meet artists from across Europe and neighbouring countries, including Syria who are one of the new partner organisations this year. The Biennale of Young Artists is considered to be the most important Mediterranean event focused on young creativity. It presents the works of artists from 18 to 30 years old working across all art forms. This year, visual arts, film, fashion and architecture will take place in Thessaloniki with gastronomy showcased in November. The second stage of this year’s event includes performing arts, music and  literature which will take place in Rome during December.
