[Nettime-ro] Cetinje Biennial V

[vladimir bulat <vbulat@k.ro>]

Cetinje Biennial V 

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT, the 5th Biennial of Cetinje, will present 80 artistic
positions from South-Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Cetinje Biennial V
is realized by the National Museum of Montenegro in cooperation with
Kunsthalle Fridericianum, Kassel, Germany.

The Balkans - Transit area to the Middle East
While the slogan LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT often hides political demagogy,
Cetinje Biennial V promises to give an open minded view on the historical
and current situation of art in the Southeastern region of Europe and the
Middle East. Different historic and modern venues in Cetinje, the old royal
capital of Montenegro, are presenting 80 artistic positions of the late
60ies and 70ies up to now.

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT is tracing affinities and differences within the
cultural and political conditions and practices, which - according to the
general perception - question the Balkans and the Middle East as two
regions of different value systems. Applying its political and economical
systems the Balkan positions itself as part of Europe - but represents at
the same time a transit area to the Middle East. Sources and origins of the
current artistic situation of two different regions will step into
dialogue.

Cetinje - Dubrovnik - Tirana 
Reacting to recent developments and the constant lack of cultural-political
cross-national cooperation LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT will moreover cross national
borders. Parallel to the exhibition in Cetinje, Tirana and Dubrovnik will
show video works and installations as well as a series of workshops. A film
and video program including works of 31 artists is shown at the three
Biennial venues. This way Cetinje Biennial V leaves the conventional form
of biennials by implying a unique cross-national activity.

An European Cooperation
Furthermore LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT is the culmination point of a new model for
a unique European cooperation: curated by Rene Block, Kassel, and Natasa
Ilic, Zagreb, Cetinje Biennial V is realized as part of "Balkan Trilogy", a
project initiated by Kunsthalle Fridericianum, Kassel, Germany. This
project started in Kassel with the exhibition "In the Gorges of the
Balkans" (2003) and ends now with "Balkan Trilogy #3", presenting the
exhibitions "Mangelos nos. 1 - 9", "Marjetica Potrc: summerhouse" and
"Jasmila Zbanic: we light the night" (Kunsthalle Fridericianum, Kassel,
until September 19).
