ART, LIFE AND CONFUSION
47th October Salon, Belgrade

29 September -  November 5, 2006

curator: René Block

The Festival is organized in different museums, galleries and
alternative spaces all over the city of Belgrade. (SEE BELOW:
FESTIVAL SCENES) It is the oldest representative event in the domain
of visual arts in Serbia and was transformed into an international
author exhibition of contemporary art two years ago. Thanks to the
concept change of the Salon, the public has been given a chance to
see numerous and important names from the international art and
curatorial scenes and to get a better insight into the current art
production on a wider scale. The international character of this
event has also made a direct participation of Serbian art scene in
the world art production possible.

More than 100 local and foreign artists selected by René Block and
his assistants will be presented at the exhibition. (SEE BELOW: LIST
OF ARTISTS) Around 30 artists from different countries around the
world will come to Belgrade. They will be involved in a direct
exchange of ideas with 30 local artists. A bilingual catalogue with
textual interpretations of the project written by the Art Director of
the Salon and his assistants will be published 
for the purpose of this exhibition.

The Assembly of the City of Belgrade is the founder and the patron of
the October Salon. It is organized by the Belgrade Cultural Centre.
