SANTORINI
BIENNALE 2014 – IBEX WINNERS
The Santorini
Biennale Committee is proud to announce the 2014 IBEX award recipients for the
2nd edition.
We were
tremendously impressed by the quality, dynamism and originality of the projects
submitted, because they addressed so many important and contentious issues
examining different points of view about peace, war, conflicts &
controversies and acceptance of differences.
In a turbulent
era in which we face radical and potentially destructive changes on so many
fronts, artists of the 2nd edition played an indispensable role in suggesting
possible solutions thanks to their intelligence, diligence, determination and
vision.
After a 3 months exhibition
of “social messages” and collecting 7082 votes from the public, the Organizing
Committee is proud to announce the IBEX 2014 winners:
