| [Nettime-ro] PRAGUE BIENNALE 2 |
PRAGUE BIENNALE 2 Between New Painting and Political Action Curated by Giancarlo Politi and Helena Kontova along with the collaboration of numerous international curators and artists, the second edition of the Prague Biennale - opening at the end of May 2005 - will primarily be dedicated to new painting in Europe and art as a political action in Latin America. PRAGUE BIENNALE 2 involves some of the world's most influential and prestigious curators and artists, opening in late May 2005 and closing September 18. Prague Biennale 2 will take place in Karlin Hall (Thamova 14, Prague 8), a vast post-industrial space of 5000 square meters that has been specifically adapted for what will be the largest exhibition in Eastern Europe. EXPANDED PAINTING. Painting and Around: a large, panoramic exhibition of about 100 painters characterizes this second edition of the Prague Biennale, following the great success of the first. The exhibition seeks to be an articulate, and at times contradictory representation of young painters in Europe, demonstrating their crossing of styles, techniques, cultures, and traditions. Today's painting, along with its relationship to technology and other media such as photography, video, cinema, and installation is interpreted here as a conscious critique on society and the world, not simply as an appeasement of the eyes and the senses. To see this one only must look at such works as those of Maurizio Cattelan, Damien Hirst, Ugo Rondinone, Jim Lambie, Wilhelm Sasnal, Shirana Shahbazi, Martin Creed, Ansel Reyle, Sophie von Hellermann. Particular attention will be paid to countries that have not yet come to real prominence on the international stage, but where artists are establishing themselves forcefully and rapidly.
