[Nettime-ro] PAVILION #15 OUT NOW


PAVILION #15 OUT NOW
Handlung. On Producing Possibilities
Reader of the BUCHAREST BIENNALE 4

This issue it becomes the reader of BB4 which takes the ambiguity of the German term "Handlung" â that is impossible to translate in all its levels of meaning, but it is somehow located between action, activity, agency and participation, but at the same time it could also mean story or even narration â as a starting point to examine diverse practices, which are proposing various forms of action. BB4 attempts to scrutinize and to exhaust the promise â that might just be a supposition â of art taking place in the public sphere and is it thus creating possibilities for (political) action or does the artwork itself has already inherited this moment of action? Therefore, the exhibition rather tries to articulate questions and suggests different prospects than to formulate answers. BB4 will show artistic projects that deal with direct involvement in actions, participation and public space as well as community based art, but also works that are based on questioning, correcting and subverting history and historiography form, among others, a central point. The biennial aims to intensify the interaction with the urban and political context in Bucharest by inviting participants from different fields.
PAVILION is edited by RÄzvan Ion & Eugen RÄdescu, the BB4 is curated by Felix Vogel.
