Continental Breakfast is an international co-curatorial and multidisciplinary project mainly dedicated to the newest proposals in the field of contemporary visual art. At the "First CEI Venice Forum" (June 2003) organised by the Trieste Contemporanea Committee, it was planned as a joint activity of the partner institutions for 2004-2005 to lead to a series of exhibitions opening simultaneously in a number of selected venues in Autumn 2005, identifying as the main theme the idea of identity and the perception of the "other" in and beyond the new Europe. Emblematic is the title of the project which defines a breakfast shared all over Europe without bounderies: a menu which seems the same everywhere but truly acquires diverse tastes and values through local cultural variations. Continental Breakfast 2004-2005 is under the auspices of the regional intergovernmental organisation "Central European Initiative" and aims to become a starting point for the development of future cultural networks.
