ABOUT CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST

'Continental Breakfast' is an international co-curatorial and multidisciplinary project founded by Trieste Contemporanea in 2003 and mainly dedicated to investigate the creativity and the innovation in the field of contemporary visual art. It fosters and supports the creation of partnership projects in the field of contemporary art in Central Eastern Europe and is composed at present by a network of institutions in Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Poland, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey.

The project deals with the perception of the "other" in and beyond the new Europe, investigating the theme of mutual recognition of a common European identity and searching, in the different European regions, existing elements that can enhance the richness of the common and original cultural identity of Europe. The project studies the common cultural foundations more or less consciously historically rooted in the cultural background of the different areas. Hence the title of the project that defines a type of breakfast that is common throughout Europe but in fact acquires diverse tastes and values through local cultural variations.
