Floating Territories

Different Venues,

A Transbiennial Project in Istanbul/Athens/Venice

Floating Territories is a boat, laboratory and program inviting artists, curators, thinkers and experts from various backgrounds to explore the responsibilities and limits of art. This within the context of an ever-evolving Europe engendering enthusiasm for fresh possibilities, as well as fear of the unknown. Over the course of its ten-day journey, linking three key Mediterannean destinations - Istanbul, Athens and Venice - Floating Territories will spawn an eclectic selection of projects both onboard and in these respective cities. Rendering it a platform for artistic production generating cultural exchange with the Istanbul, Athens and Venice Biennals.
An opportunity to broaden both physical and cultural horizons, FLOATING TERRITORIES is a part of special programming of these three International Art Biennals.
