CONCEPT

>From 3nd to 12th September 2009, the city of Skopje will host the XIV

It will be promoted by the International Association for the Biennale of

The Biennial arrives in Skopje at its 14th edition,, from 1985 on it

The chosen theme for the XIV edition of the Biennale Skopje 2009 is "Seven
Gates".
We ask the artists to be inspired by the ancient legend of the city of
Skopje, which says that the seven gates of the city stand on where once
stayed the eyes, the nose, the mouth and the ears of a giant. (to read the
