The humanitarian and social dimensions of the economic crisis in Greece will be at the centre of the modern art exhibition "No Country for Young Men: Contemporary Greek Art in Times of Crisis" that opens opening today (27.03) at the Bozar Centre for Fine Arts, in Brussels.

Bringing together 32 leading contemporary Greek artists, the exhibition seeks to transcend stereotypical media representations of the crisis. According to the internationally acclaimed curator of the exhibition Katerina Gregos, the display “explores the state of affairs in Greece today, teasing out the complexity of the crisis and shedding light on how it has affected the people, the social body, institutions, landscape and environment, as well as artistic production”. The title of the exhibition evokes the unfavourable situation for young people in Greece today, while also looking at the possibilities the crisis offers for re-inventing and re-imagining the country.

The event is part of the Focus on Greece programme organized by the Bozar during the Greek EU Presidency. The exhibition runs until August 3 and admission is free.
