While many members of the Zone collctive will be in Sweden this weekend for the opening of' 'The Red Thread', back home in Leiden there are also exciting events taking place.....

The first edition of Festival Iberia takes place in Leiden next week, from 13 - 20 June, Iberia being the ancient name for Georgia.
As part of the festivities various galleries, including Gallery Zone, will be taking part with exhibitions by eminent Georgian artists, under the  theme 'Fighters Against Greyness'.
Dimitri Eristavi is one of the most outstanding representatives of 20th century Georgian art, and his work will be on show in Gallery Leiden all week - for this week only we will be opening on Mondaay and Tuesday from 14.00 - 17.00, as well as our normal Wednesday - Sunday times.

Less than a week to go! The exhibition 'The Red Thread' will be opened in Gallery Kaleido, Uppsala, Sweden (see http://www.kaleidoo.nu/  for more information) at 12.00 o'clock on Saturday June 6th, by Pieter Ramaer of The Royal Netherlands Embassy. A number of Zone members will be there to represent Gallery Zone and meet members of the Kaleido collective.  

In September the exhibition comes to Leiden. On  Sunday September 5th, at 2.00 pm, the cultural attache from the Swedish Embassy in the Netherlands, Lisa Leistra, will open the exhibition at Gallery Zone. We hope some members of the Kaleido collective will be able to come to the Netherlands for that opening.
