The press conference will take place at PAVILION - Center for Contemporary Art and Culture (Str. C.A. Rosetti nr. 36 A, entrance from Str. Jean Louis Calderon), BUCHAREST, 13 February 2013, at 11:00 a.m.
BUCHAREST BIENNALE 6 - Bucharest International Biennial for Contemporary Art - is set for May 23 - July 20, 2014, under the cu- ratorship of Nicolaus Schafhausen, director of Kunsthalle Wien. The appointment also will mark the first cooperation of BUCHAREST BIENNALE and Kunsthalle Wien which will develop a new type of dialogue between Wien and Bucharest.
By appointing such a successful and innovative curator as Nicolaus Schafhausen, BUCHAREST BIENNALE will continue its tradition of exploring different ways of engaging the city, within a global context.
Governing motif of the 6th Bucharest Biennale will be displayed in various figures of the concept-couple Belonging & Longing. It will focus on topics related to the imperfect/open nature of (national) identities, the inverse forces of desire for identity and individualism and their structural effects towards our perception of the Other and the Self.
With the successful model imposed by the previous editions, the biennale already established its position within the international scene, as one of the most vital biennials in Europe.
The press conference will be joined by Răzvan Ion and Eugen Rădescu, the co-directors of BUCHAREST BIENNALE and Andrei Crăciun, executive director.
