“The First and Last and Always Psiloritis Biennale aspires to become a platform of contemporary outdoor culture. By not aiming at an audience allows for an exhibiting condition which is unhindered by financial or political interests, but also by the unwritten rules of exhibition viewing interconnected with the current social conventions and morals. The site of the biennale, Mt.Psiloritis, is delineated symbolically as a space of cultural expression through a gesture of conquest, as one conquers a peak and not an inhabited territory that is nationally or culturally determined. The time of the biennale, “always”, results from the acknowledgment of the impossibility of regular event planning in such a untamed place. It’s aim is to provide the temporal and spatial framework for the conception, design and potential realization of artworks that bring the human psyche face to face with nature”.
