PAVILION & BB3:
Temporary Structures

Calouste Gulbenkian Museum
Av. de Berna 45A, Lisboa
Tuesday, February 26, 2008, 17.30 h.

Live talk about BUCHAREST BIENNALE and its generator, PAVILION magazine.

Participants: Razvan Ion (RO), Eugen Radescu (RO), Nuño Faria (PT).

Bucharest Biennale - Bucharest International Biennial for Contemporary Art
- generated by Pavilion, integrates the city in its curatorial project,
proposing both a spatial and temporal, itinerant trajectory to the
visitor, which leads to the discovery of hidden geographies.

Despite being in a rather introductory stage, the Bucharest Biennale has
already positioned itself internationally, and the third edition is
expected to express the growing potential of this type of artistic
encounter. BB3 questions cartography and proposes a remapping of
contemporary art, in extending the art concept towards discursive
manifestations with a sociopolitical impact.
The third edition of BUCHAREST BIENNALE is under Swedish curatorship of
Jan-Erik Lundstrom and Johan Sjostrom (May 23 - June 21, 2008).

PAVILION, the magazine, is a structure, which is mainly located in the
present, although it sometimes deals with the recent past and is often
used as a source of reference for the future ? in the future as a
reference to the past - and it sometimes presents clairvoyant visions of
the future. The mission of a magazine for contemporary art and culture is
to analyze the present and to make a statement about what this present
could be ? the decision of ?which present? to display comes with certain
responsibility.

It is no longer possible to make a clear distinction between politics and
art/aesthetics. Therefore, it could be viewed as one of the main missions
of a contemporary magazine to have a clear vision of the present and to
make an analysis of the strategies of representation by means of
aesthetics, ethics and politics. This undertaking can only be successful,
if the magazine/biennale maintains its temporary structure.

BUCHAREST BIENNALE is proudly sponsored by Pilsner Urquell and has as
strategic partner Unicredit Tiriac Bank.

PAVILION & BB3:
Structuri Temporare

Gulbenkian Museum
Av. de Berna 45A, Lisboa
Marti, 26 februarie, 2008, orele 17.30

Dezbatere si prezentare live despre Bucharest Biennale si generatorul
acesteia revista Pavilion.

Participanti: Razvan Ion (RO), Eugen Radescu (RO), Nuño Faria (PT).

O structura temporara genereaza o alta structura tocmai prin inconsistenta
temporalitatii. Rezultatul acestui lant cauzal poate fi o a treia actiune,
analiza strategiilor reprezentationale, delimitat de interesul
spectatorului.

Bucharest Biennale - Biennala Internationala de Arta Contemporana
Bucuresti - generata de Pavilion, integreaza orasul in proiectul sau
curatorial, propunand o traiectoriei itineranta vizitatorului, atat
spatiala cat si temporala, care duce la descoperirea geografiilor ascunse.

Bucharest Biennale, aflata mai degraba la inceputul sau, a capatat deja o
reputatie internationala , iar cea de-a treia editie este de asteptat sa
exprime potentialul de crestere a acestei forme de intalnire artistica.
BB3 interogheaza cartografia si propune re-cartografierea artelor
contemporane, extinzand intelesul cuvantului arta la manifestari
discursive cu impact socio-politic.

A treia editie a BUCHAREST BIENNALE este curatoriata de suedezii Jan-Erik
Lundstrom and Johan Sjostrom (23 mai - 21 iunie 2008).


Desi uneori se ocupa de un trecut (tanar), iar des este utilizata ca o
sursa de referinta pentru viitor ? in viitor devenind o referinta despre
trecut ?  revista este in primul rand o structura localizata in prezent,
care poate avea o viziune clarvazatoare despre viitor. Misiunea unei
reviste de arta si cultura contemporana este de a analiza prezentul si a
cocluziona ceea ce acest prezent poate fi ? a decide care prezent este cel
adevarat este o sarcina de raspundere.

Avand in vedere ca nu mai este posibil in ziua de astazi a face o
distinctie clara intre politica si estetica, una dintre cele mai insemnate
sarcini ale unei reviste contemporane ar putea fi considerata sustinerea
unei viziuni clare despre prezent si analizarea strategiillor
reprezentarii cu ajutorul esteticii, eticii si politicii.

Insa aceasta actiune poate reusi, numai atunci cand revista/bienala isi
mentine structura sa temporara.

BUCHAREST BIENNALE este are ca sponsor principal Pilsner Urquell si
partener strategic Unicredit Tiriac Bank.

Nuño Faria
Curator si teoretician, autor a numeroase expozitii.
