Centro Wifredo Lam

The Havana Biennial was established in 1984, long before the worldwide boom of Biennials in the Mid-nineties. Its first edition was focused on artists from Latin
America and the Caribbean who live or have their cultural roots there. Since the 2nd Havana Biennial in 1986, the focus was extended to include Africa and Asia, thus becoming the
most important meeting place for artists from "non-Western" countries. For this reason, Universes in Universe dedicated particular attention to this event several times.

PRAGUEBIENNALE
|
 |
May 24 – Sept 14, 2007
Prague
|
In the labyrinth of Central Europe, collective memory and the boundaries of painting meet in Prague for the third year running. Now in its third year,
PRAGUEBIENNALE re-launches itself once more. Through a vast display of both recent and past works (from painting and photography to performance and installation art) this year's
edition aims to explore and pinpoint the most significant aspects of Central European art. The show displays works by artists young and old, new and affirmed, as well as covering
the very movements that shaped the sixties and seventies. Special exhibitions have been dedicated to Czech minimalism and Slovak actionism, which, hitherto, have not been
documented on an international level. Following upon the success new artists have achieved after participating in 'Expanded Painting' (PRAGUEBIENNALE veritably 'baptised' or, so
to speak, 'consecrated' Andro Wekua, Matthias Weischer, Dana Schutz, Tal R, Victor Man and Wilhelm Sasnal), Expanded Painting 2, will present twenty emerging European artists.
There will be a special focus on the 'School of Cluj' in Romania, which, after Leipzig and Dresden, is proving to be a veritable goldmine of contemporary painters. Moreover, the
fair pays homage to three seminal artists: Above all, however, the true stars of PRAGUEBIENNALE3 are indeed the very cultures and minor stories of Central Europe.

L’HISTOIRE D’UNE DÉCENNIE QUI N’EST PAS ENCORE NOMMÉE
Thierry Raspail, Directeur Aristique de la Biennale de Lyon
PARLONS BIENNALES:
Il y a quelques décennies, l’historien d’art George Kubler inventait la notion d’Objet Premier. C’est une forme, un tableau ou un édifice dont l’évidence rétrospective est acquise
à l’issue d’une longue descendance. N’est-ce pas là le plus pompier des lieux communs? Oui et non. Oui, car l’histoire existe encore, malgré Francis Fukuyama, et son rôle central
dans la constitution d’une mémoire n’est nullement mis en cause. Non, car l’évidence pour l’historien est bien ce qui échappe à l’oubli. L’évidence est ce qui perdure: c’est
l’oeuvre restée collée aux cimaises ou l’image référence. De ce point de vue, c’est une figure d’autorité. Mais c’est aussi une manière d’affirmer que le présent n’existe jamais
qu’à travers le futur supposé qu’on lui prête.
L’oeuvre n’existe qu’après coup ou s’évapore et disparaît. C’est pourquoi l’historien ne travaille jamais qu’au futur antérieur. Pas dans l’instant. Ce n’est pas le cas du curator
chargé d’organiser l’actualité.
Distinguer le présent de l’actualité, c’est l’enjeu crucial de l’aujourd’hui. Avec la fin des régimes d’historicité traditionnels et l’apparition du “présent perpétuel” (François
Hartog), la distinction s’est estompée, c’est pourquoi le système des biennales, actualisant l’actualité, a si bien réussi en quelque trente ans. L’aujourd’hui compte dans le
monde 110 biennales environ qui dressent chacune la carte d’une actualité exponentielle, renouvelable à l’envi et interchangeable. Par conséquent le flux l’emporte sur la
singularité. 110 biennales, 110 listes d’artistes, 110 titres, une biennale hebdomadaire, chacune recouvrant et annulant la précédente. La mécanique des biennales habite et génère
un présent étiré à l’infini.
Comment dans cette perspective une biennale peut-elle être encore une instance critique ou un éclair de discernement dans la langueur du flux? Prétendrons-nous que l’art emprunte
désormais à la vacuité et à la rythmicité de l’événement politique ou sportif – dont on sait qu’ils s’auto-qualifient souvent l’un et l’autre d’“historique” – mais dont on sait
plus encore qu’ils ne sont événements que rétrospectivement?
Le système est-il complice d’une certaine google-isation dont le classement au top de l’écran est lié à la popularisation du nombre de clics, ce qui a pour conséquence de faire de
la qualité une émanation de la quantité? En bref, sommes-nous victimes de nos propres moteurs de recherches qui amplifient l’atavisme de l’information et privilégient
naturellement la communication immédiate à la lente déposition des alluvions?
L’oeuvre n’est-elle pourtant pas ce ralentisseur, à la fois patenté et archaïque des flux, tout comme le littéraire ou l’auteur pourraient l’être ailleurs? Si la réponse à cette
question est affirmative on en déduira que le temps des biennales n’est pas celui des oeuvres, qu’ils sont même l’un et l’autre profondément antagonistes. C’est tout l’enjeu de la
Biennale 2007.

La BDP est une manifestation d'art favorisant une dynamique dont l'objectif est de révéler l'actualité de l'art dans ses formes les plus contemporaines. A travers
des formes d’art avancées et par la valorisation de la production immatérielle, elle entend redonner ainsi à Paris une place majeure sur la scène artistique internationale. Les
productions immatérielles et les formes d'art avancées signifient des oeuvres de l'esprit inscrites dans le réel qui génèrent des éléments de réflexion, de conscientisation, ou
relevant de l'ordre de l'expérience personnelle, collective et sociale. Libérées de l'emprise de l'esthétique dominante, les productions immatérielles et les formes d'art avancées
se définissent en terme de pensée libre qui s'affirme.

« Existe-t-il au monde une chose plus légère, plus délicate, plus convaincante, plus intime, qu’une petite gravure offerte à vos yeux assoiffés ? Peut-on trouver
quelque chose de plus simple qu’un petit bout de papier soigneusement embelli par les mains d’un artiste qui vous convie à aimer, à vivre comme lui sa conception de la beauté, à
respirer son imagination, à partager son message, ses idées ? Dans notre univers si étrange, où manque dangereusement une authentique et intime communication entre les êtres, dans
ce monde opprimé par la consommation à outrance, un lien est offert par l’artiste, ce créateur de beauté toujours présente malgré tout, beauté dont l’homme reste avide et que sont
pour lui ces petites images, petits pas vers l’immense promesse du futur… » Slobo Directeur Général de la Triennale. Un important catalogue a été édité pour chacune des ces
manifestations, répertoriant ainsi les artistes participants et représentant environ 15800 oeuvres sur papier.
L'originalité de cette manifestation est que chaque artiste laisse à l'AMAC une estampe qui constitue un cabinet d'estampes formant un patrimoine culturel
inestimable.

Aider les créateurs d‘aujourd‘hui, n‘est ce pas mettre en avant les artistes de demain ? La Ville de Bourges a souhaité renouveler le concept du « Panorama de la
jeune création », qui réunira des artistes inconnus mais prometteurs.
Le Panorama de la jeune création représente un engagement fort de la Ville de Bourges à l‘égard des jeunes artistes Sur 420 dossiers de jeunes créateurs tout juste sortis d‘une
école d‘art, une quarantaine a été sélectionnée par un jury de professionnels du milieu artistique. Pour la première fois, les artistes choisis viennent des quatre coins du monde,
Japon, États-Unis, Canada… Sur 2 500 m2, ils auront le privilège d‘exposer leurs oeuvres, de se rencontrer, de confronter leurs travaux, de nouer des contacts entre eux ou bien
avec des professionnels qui pourront, peut être, les accompagner dans la suite de leur parcours.

DOCUMENTA
|
9. 6. – 16. 9. 2012
Kassel
Hessen
|
The documenta is regarded as the most important exhibition of contemporary art, drawing attention from all over the world. It was initiated in 1955 by the artist
and art educator Arnold Bode in Kassel. After the period of Nazi dictatorship, it was intended to reconcile German public life with international modernity and also confront it
with its own failed Enlightenment. Nobody would have thought at that time that the exhibition, often called the One Hundred Day Museum, would become an unparalleled success.
Nevertheless, the thirteenth documenta will take place in summer 2012. For further information on the process of her preparation please click here.
The singular character of the exhibition has been preserved. Every five years, a new director is chosen and the exhibition is reinvented, a concept which to date has been affirmed
by the public's interest. The number of visitors has continually risen.

La Triennale di Milano è un luogo di rappresentazione della nuda vita, intendendosi con questa metafora filosofica il tumultuoso apparire sulla scena del nuovo
millennio del corpo come macchina produttiva, nel suo essere luogo ove si pensa, si comunica e si riproduce. L’altra faccia della nuda vita è la vita nuda: quanto il corpo torna
ad essere relegato alla sua funzione elementare di macchina di sopravvivenza. Il carcere è uno di questi luoghi. La Triennale ha promosso il progetto La Rappresentazione della
Pena, per riconoscere e riconoscersi in quell’universo segregato, attraverso una mostra e molteplici momenti di riflessione.

Biennale of Ceramics in Contemporary Art
The 3rd Biennale of Ceramics in Contemporary Art developed as a network, a new form of intra/inter territorial aggregation, aimed at developing the social and
cultural assets of the Ceramic District in the Province of Savona (Ligurian Riviera, Italy).
During its 3rd edition, the Biennale focused on fostering the interaction and co-existence of multiple and unique interests within a geographic area with deeply-rooted ceramic
traditions (Albisola, Savona, Vado Ligure), involving internationally-renowned designers and artists, museum curators, critics, art and design historians, ceramic laboratories and
hi-tech companies, professional training centres, universities and fine arts academies in a single field of action.
The 3rd Biennale of Ceramics in Contemporary Art has promoted the encounter between local material ethos, the creative concepts of designers, the free expression of artists and
the culture of hi-tech companies to foster an “undisciplined” hybridization of ceramic, design and contemporary art.

production, construction, preservation, and augmentation. In this regard, the theme of the Busan Biennale 2008 promises to exhibit a distinctive philosophy of 'Expenditure' and a
vivid scene of contemporary art through a variety of artworks created by artists invited from throughout the world, including paintings, photographs, videos, installations,

Gwangju Biennale
|
 |
Sept 9 - Nov 11, 2006
Gwangju
|
The Gwangju Biennale, is a cultural forum that will experiment with established cultural actions, those that are centered around the specialist and cultural power,
and transform them into a new concept: the spectator's direct participation in cultural creation.
The Biennale's proposed discussion on culture implies a reordering of essential values and, specifically, a redefining of the norms of those aesthetic decisions that, until now,
have been determined by the powerful fiefdom of the elite. It also implies an experience of the various mechanisms that form the stage where individuals and groups distinct from
one another express their expectations by transcending the established system of power that recognizes and produces art.

There is the historic remembrance of tragic past events. It is the role of the Majdanek Museum to store and renovate remembrances of the camp life, to gather evidence for the
crimes committed in Majdanek and to study and publish historical documents and articles about this place.
...
The museum, which is a specific cultural institution, expresses the rebellion of man, who is the creator of culture, against cruelty, no matter where it originates and who does
it. The art, present here, shows the opposition against totalitarian thinking and acting. .....

The Craft Museum in Krosno /Poland/ invites linen cloth artists from Poland and abroad, students of the 4th and 5th year as well as the last year's art graduates
of Polish universities to take part in the 5th International Artistic Linen Cloth Biennial 'Z krosna do Krosna' and the premiere competition 'Z krosna do Krosna' - DEBUTS
2008.
'Z krosna do Krosna' Biennial has been organised since 2000. It has met an enthusiastic reception not only from the artists but also from art critics. It is fact that the Biennial
has been noticed by the artistic circles concerned with linen cloth and, what is very important, treated as a competition of considerable importance. Participation of artists from
many countries of the world /Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Island, Israel, Japan, Canada, Latvia, Germany, Poland, Russia, Scotland,
Switzerland, Slovakia, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, USA, Hungary, and Italy/ shows great prestige of this event. It is worth mentioning that Krosno Biennial is the only event of this
kind held in the Podkarpacie region, and one of few such events in Poland promoting contemporary art that originates from weaving.
With the 5th edition of the Biennial we would like to welcome young artists that work in the field of linen cloth. 'Z krosna do Krosna' - DEBUTS 2008 competition is aimed at
opening up opportunity for making their professional exhibit debut, which would be accompanied by the promotion of young artists and the youngest linen art.
The 5th International Artistic Linen Cloth Biennial 'Z krosna do Krosna' together with the accompanying competition for young artists 'Z krosna do Krosna'- DEBUTS 2008 will be
held under the honorary patronage of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage Bogdan Zdrojewski.They also won the support of the Marshal of Podkarpackie Voivodeship and the
President of Krosno. The event is held under the scientific patronage of Prof. Irena Huml of the Institute of Art Polish Academy of Science, and the media patronage of the Polish

concorrer a esta edição da Bienal. Esperamos que em 2005 tudo volte à normalidade e possamos garantir novamente o concurso e a atribuição de 10.000 Euros em prémios, tal como

Bucharest Biennale
|
 |
May 23 - Jul 21, 2008
Bucharest
|
Bucharest Biennale promote awareness and dissemination of the culture, particularly in the fields of the arts, by means of exchanges and cultural cooperation
within Europe and beyond and is looking for strategies that would develop mutual understanding and offer insights from different perspectives.
We are interested in the link between creative practice and social development, in the links between the local, European and global contexts.
Our programs promote the exchange of art and ideas through the staging of contemporary arts and work globally and locally, bringing together an international vision of art and
cross-cultural exchange with a commitment to the community involvement and the enrichment of Bucharest's cultural resources.
We assume the urge of a dialogue with the public, of a platform for artists as much as the need of reinventing new forms of artistic expression and encourage curators to make a
large selection of artists who would represent best the European unity in diversity.

Moscow Biennial

March 1 - April 1, 2007
Lenin Museum
Moscow City Hall
|
One of the most obvious consequences of political and economical stabilisation in Russia is the growing interest of the Russian society in contemporary culture,
and more precisely in contemporary art. As a result a totally new Russian art infrastructure has emerged through art fairs, commercial galleries, non-profit exhibition spaces,
festivals and conferences. A new Russian public, as well as the new Russian media, have become especially sensitive to everything that is new and current in contemporary
culture.
The Russian art world is developing fast and there is a certain opinion, conviction, vision and understanding that the country needs to organise a major international art event,
which would be able to introduce current and relevant art movements to a Russian audience by presenting the most interesting examples of contemporary art. It is the right time in
Moscow to create a major international art event, the first of this kind for our country. Visual art is the only art form which does not have a major international forum in our
national capital. The Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art would build on the success of other events like the famous Tchaikovsky Musical Festival, Moscow International Film
Festival and «The Golden Mask» Theater Festival.

Schweizerische Triennale der Skulptur in Bad Ragaz und Vaduz

May 16 - November 1, 2009
Bad Ragaz und Vaduz
|
Im Mai 2009 wird der Kultursommer Bad Ragartz in Bad Ragaz und Vaduz ein grossartiges Gesamtkunstwerk unter freiem Himmel möglich machen. Der ganze Lebensraum der
beiden Orte wird voll sein mit Skulpturen und Musik. Orte der Musse, des entspannten Gehens, der Ruhe im Schatten der Bäume, des Nachsinnens. Bad Ragaz und Vaduz wollen Orte der
Begegnung sein. Entbunden von der täglichen Hast und Betriebsamkeit, kann beschauliches Sehen und Schreiten eine Chance sein, sich neuen, ungewohnten Wahrnehmungen zu öffnen.
Was wir tun ist wichtig ebenso wichtig ist aber, wovon wir träumen und dass wir an unsere Träume glauben. Durch unsere Träume und Entscheidungen definieren wir uns selbst. Allein
dadurch können wir unseren Worten Leben und Bedeutung verleihen. Allein durch sie können wir aus dem, was wir sind, das machen, was wir sein wollen.

Art Museum

The ninth edition of the Sharjah Biennial can be seen as a laboratory within which focused experimentation, investigation and liberated manifestations are tried
out. It is where experience and knowledge are tested against new realities and challenged by certainties and uncertainties. The Sharjah Biennial's role will be gauged by its
contribution towards empowering individuals (artists and non-artists) and initiatives to pursue their creative work undisrupted by the market and other pressures.
The Sharjah Biennial has launched several initiatives that attempt to solidify its relationship with artists and art organisations, engaging them in joint
productions with the Biennial and long-term collaborations: The Sharjah Biennial Production Programme, the March Meeting, and the Artist-in-Residence Programme.

The london biennale was founded in 1998 by David Medalla. It has evolved into an artist community loosely based around London and the biennial events that take
place there. Totalling over 300 artists, the Biennale organisation is not restricted to London, playing an active part in international events such as Changing Channels season
(2003) in Berlin. The Biennale 2006 is set to be bigger than any preceding it. Here's to many more years!
The London Biennale is a do-it-yourself free arts festival.This means artists who wish to participate are solely and entirely responsible for their
participation: for his/her show, funding, transport, publicity, insurance, documentation, venue. We do help one another but only through voluntary and free choice. We have no
bureau and therefore no bureaucrat.

Whitney Biennial

 |
May, 2008
Whitney Museum of American Art New York
NY 10021
|
In the current plethora of biennial and triennial exhibitions, art fairs, and large group shows across the United States and the rest of the world, how can the
Whitney Biennial remain relevant? This was one of our first questions as curators of the 2008 Biennial exhibition. The exhibition remains a closely watched barometer of the
changing tides of contemporary American art. Yet the current intense pace of the commercial and not-for-profit art world has brought so much art into view at such speed that by
the time it reaches the walls of the Whitney in a Biennial exhibition, there is very little that has not already been seen, digested, and critiqued.

Hello Texas and beyond,
During the month of September, Michael Duncan and I embarked upon an eight-day journey to the large metropolises and small farm towns of Texas to visit the intimate spaces of
artists’ studios. This trip resulted in a surprising enlightenment to the sheer fortitude of creativity coming out of our great state. Together we discovered the diversity of art
making that dwelled in some of the most unlikely places. Our first-hand experiences only strengthened the determination to execute the best Texas Biennial to date.
I am happy to welcome 73 artists to showcase this upcoming Spring and share their distinct vision with the rest of the Texas.
Best,
Xochi Solis
Executive Director, 2009 Texas Biennial
