PAVILION & BB3:
Temporary StructuresÂ

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 aÂremapping of 
contemporary art, in extending the art conceptÂtowards discursive 
manifestations with a sociopolitical impact.

PROGRAM

24 October 2007
ICR Stockholm, Skeppsbron 20, StockholmÂ

18.00 h
The Magazine as a Temporary Structure
A lecture by Eugen Radescu (RO) on the structure of Pavilion â 
contemporary art & culture magazine.Â
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 â 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 â the decision of âwhich presentâ 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 maintains its temporary structure.ÂÂ

19.00h
BB3. Being Here. Mapping the Contemporary
Live talk on the topic of Bucharest Biennale 3.Â
Participants: Maria Lantz (SE), Jan-Erik Lundstrom (SE), Razvan Ion 
(RO), Eugen Radescu (RO).Â
Mapping is, in fact, not a mimetic exercise, a process of analogue 
imitation by way of reduction and abstraction, a means towards the 
splendid and refractory lives of copies and reproductions. Maps are, 
rather, parallel worlds, rich and powerful out of their own specific 
properties, producers of other spaces and alternative geographies. And 
exactly because of this: resourceful and productive and beautiful 
instrumentalities for the contemporary moment, for navigation â or 
withdrawal? In these strange times, in the midst of the landscapes of 
terror, fear and loss, of the territories of restricted movement, 
control and surveillance, of borders which are walls, of globalization 
with its promises and defeats.
Curated by Jan-Erik Lundstrom & Johan Sjostrom, BB3 (23 May â 21 June 
2008) attends to the geographical turn in contemporary creativity and 
current representational practices.Â
Bucharest Biennale is proudly supported by Pilsner Urquell.ÂÂ

Launch of the latest issue of PAVILION "What Was Socialism, and What 
Comes Next".
Open buffet.Â

PAVILION & BB3:
Structuri Temporare

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.

18h00Â
Revista - o structura temporara
Prelegere de Eugen Radescu (RO) despre structura revistei Pavilion â 
revista de arta si cultura contemporana.
Desi uneori se ocupa de un trecut (tanar), iar des este utilizata ca o 
sursa de referinta pentru viitor â in viitor devenind o referinta 
despre trecut â  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 â 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 isi mentine 
structura sa temporara.

19.00 h
BB3. Fiind Aici. Topografia Contemporaneitatii
Discutie pe tema Bucharest Biennale 3.Â
Participanti: Maria Lantz (SE), Jan-Erik Lundstrom (SE), Razvan Ion 
(RO), Eugen Radescu (RO).Â
Cartografierea nu este un act mimetic prin reducere si abstractizare 
sau o cale catre minunatele vieti ale copiilor si reproducerilor. 
Hartile sunt mai degraba lumi paralele, imbogatite si potentate de 
trasaturile lor specifice. Hartile creeaza alte spatii si geografii 
alternative. Si tocmai din aceasta cauza, hartile sunt instrumente 
eficiente si inventive pentru timpul actual, pentru navigarea in aceste 
vremuri stranii in mijlocul unui peisaj dominat de teroare, frica si 
pierdere, al unor spatii de miscare limitate, al controlului si 
supravegherii, al granitelor de netrecut, al globalizarii cu 
promisiunile si esecurile ei.
BB3 atrage atentia asupra laturii geografice a creativitatii 
contemporane si actualelor practici reprezentationale.
