EUROPEAN HOLIDAY DATES
WORK|OUT gathered the grooviest events of the summer with the double-plus fun factor and friendly to your wallet:
GOABOA — ITALY
Il passaparola è già iniziato verso la metà di maggio, il “sai un amico del mio amico mi ha detto...” è una litania che accompagna le sere di primavera nei caruggi del centro storico, fughe di notizie, indiscrezioni della prima ora in attesa delle notizie ufficiali e finalmente l’attesa conferma è arrivata: anche quest’anno l’afosa notte genovese sarà piena di musica. È stata infatti annunciato il programma dell’8° edizione del GOA-BOA FESTIVAL, evento musicale organizzato dall’associazione culturale Psyco e dedicato alla musica popolare contemporanea. Anche quest’anno il cartellone offre uno sfizioso mix di nomi celebri ed esordienti di lusso... ascoltare per credere!

YOUNG ART IN FRANKFURT — GERMANY
You think you know all sides of the German “bank-Capital”? We do not: The Schirn-Kunsthalle invites you to a completely different town, far from money, stocks and cold concrete. Multiple exhibitions of contemporary art, such as the romantic “Wunschwelten” or the monumental installation “Denkmal 7” by Jan de Cock invite you to a journey into the arts.

ONCE AGAIN EXISTENTIALISM!
Du 9 mars au 21 août se tiendra à la Bibliothèque Nationale de France à Paris (FRANCE) l’exposition “Sartre et son temps”, organisée à l’occasion du centenaire de sa naissance.
Philosophe, romancier, polémiste, journaliste et théoricien de l’esthétique, Sartre a participé à tous les événements importants de son époque et a été de tous les combats pour la défense de l’individu ou des nations. L’exposition permet de voir quelques 400 documents qui retracent sa vie d’homme et d’écrivain. Pour ceux qui n’ont pas la chance de pouvoir se rendre à Paris où qui n’ont pas assez d’argent, il y a une possibilité de faire une visite virtuelle sur le site de la BNF.

10. E-LAKE FESTIVAL — LUXEMBURG
Between the 12th and 14th of August the area of the Echternacher See will be a meeting point — excuse me melting pot — for all outdoor festival loving people with low budgets. Simply because artists like “Blue Shade”, “Die Firma”, “dr.gonZo”, “Seeed” and “Transmitter” will rock the weekend FOR FREE.

THE LAST REFUGE
The Austrian Pavillion Giardini at this years’ Biennale in Venice (ITALY) was created by Hans Schabus. For him the location of an art exhibition is never a neutral space of presentation. The gigantic installation “Das letzte Land” stands out like a gigantic mountain covering the whole pavillion, both appalling and inviting — a constructed symbol of the Austrian landscape.

LATE NIGHT SHOW LIKE WARTIME — GERMANY
Peter Kees & the art exhibition “the free will” invite you to a scurile but yet superior late night show into the abyss of the old bunker underneath the Arena in Berlin-Treptow. There, numerous guests, scientists and artists, will gather and talk about Freedom and ist meaning in today’s society.
