Understanding Through Fear of Understanding Joi, 24 iulie 2012, BUCHAREST BIENNALE 6 - Bienala internaÈionalÄ de artÄ contemporanÄ - curatoriatÄ de GergÅ HorvÃth, sub titlul âAprehensiune. ÃnÈelegÃnd prin frica de a ÃnÈelegeâ, s-a Ãnchis dupÄ mai bine de 8 sÄptÄmÃni, pe durata cÄreia s-a bucurat de un succes fÄrÄ precedent pentru un eveniment de artÄ contemporanÄ Ãn RomÃnia. Bucharest Biennale a cÃÈtigat in decursul ultimilor ani o reputaÈie internaÈionalÄ, iar ultima ediÈie a exprimat potenÈialul de creÈtere a acestei forme de ÃntÃlnire artisticÄ. BB6 a fost compus din expoziÈia principalÄ curatoriatÄ de GergÅ HorvÃth (n. 1993) cu 19 artiÈti participanÈi, venind din 12 ÈÄri, cu 22 lucrÄri, Èi 9 dintre lucrÄri produse special pentru bienalÄ. BB6 a avut mai mult de 20 de evenimente paralele Èi 5 evenimente conexe. BB6 a avut loc Ãn 5 locaÈii Èi a intervenit direct Ãn structura oraÈului. Procesul de selecÈie Èi cercetare, precum Èi pregÄtirea textelor teoretice a durat aproape 2 ani, procesul curatorial fiind cel mai scurt dintre toate ediÈiile datoritÄ problemelor de organizare generate de mecanismele relaÈionale din RomÃnia. VÃrsta medie a echipei BB6 a fost 22,5 ani, fiind alcÄtuitÄ de 4 angajaÈi Èi 17 voluntari Èi stagiari. Ãn cadrul BB6, curatorul a generat âExpose Practiceâ, o serie de prelegeri sÄptÄmÃnale Ãn care artiÈtii participanÈi din Bucharest Biennale 6 au fost invitaÈi sÄ discute despre practica lor, metodele de cercetare Èi gÃndire Ãntr-un cadru informal. Bienala a atras atenÈia presei la fel ca ediÈia trecutÄ. AÈadar, la conferinÈa de presÄ de la deschidere au participat peste 500 de profesioniÈti Èi agenÈi ai presei, atÃt locali, cÃt Èi internaÈionali. Bienala a apÄrut Ãn peste 100 de publicaÈii, agenÈii de presÄ, staÈii radio/TV Èi bloguri, precum ProTv, Frieze, FlashArt, International Herald Tribune, Euronews, The Art Newspaper, The Guardian, Die Tageszeitung, The Harper's Bazaar, Reforma, The Economist, Elle, Cabinet, TVR 1, Digi 24, AdevÄrul, Gandul, Vice, Zeppelin, Biz, Sculpture, ArtDaily, Cariere, EyeContact Èi multe altele. Peste 20 de interviuri cu curatorul BB6 au fost publicate Ãn ultimele luni. BB6 a avut aproximativ 27.000 de vizitatori Èi a fost prima ediÈie cu intrare pe bazÄ de bilet. Peste 5.000 de persoane au vizitat BB6 Ãn zilele deschiderii Èi Ãn timpul NoapÈii Albe a Galeriilor. BB6 a fost prima organizaÈie culturalÄ din RomÃnia care a beneficiat de Google Ad Grants, iar pagina web al BB6 a ajuns la mai mult de 2.2 milioane de impressions. PostÄrile de pe paginele de FB au ajuns la mai mult de 800.000 de persoane, incluzÃnd postÄrile promoÈionale. 2 milioane de serveÈele cu logo-ul BB6 au fost tipÄrite Èi servite cu cafeaua Illy Expresso Ãn toatÄ Èara. PAVILION - journal for politics and culture - a publicat un numÄr special editat de GergÅ HorvÃth, avÃnd Ãn total 208 pagini Èi conÈinÃnd texte de teoreticieni cunoscuÈi precum, Chantal Mouffe, GergÅ HorvÃth, Florian GÃttke, David Goldenberg, RÄzvan Ion, George Prochnik, CÄtÄlin Avramescu, JÃrg Heiser, Alexandru Senciuc. Pagina web a bienalei, paginile asociate Èi newsletter-ul au avut peste 390.000 de vizionÄri din 81 de ÈÄri, Ãnainte Èi Ãn cursul evenimentului. Bugetul BB6 a fost cel mai mic din istoria BB, ceea ce o face probabil cea mai subfinanÈatÄ bienalÄ din lume. BB6 a avut ca partener strategic UniCredit Èiriac Bank. Partenerul instituÈional principal a fost Institutul Cultural RomÃn. BB6 a fost de asemenea susÈinut de Universitatea NaÈionalÄ de Arte BucureÈti, Uniunea ArtiÈtilor Plastici, Institutul de CercetÄri Politice Èi Muzeul ÈÄranului RomÃn. Printre instituÈiile internaÈionale care au contribuit la finanÈarea BB6 au fost BAM Belgia, OCA Norvegia, Forumul Cultural Austriac. RespectÃnd tradiÈia, Ministerul Culturii din RomÃnia Èi Consiliul Local BucureÈti au refuzat susÈinerea BB. Curatorul BUCHAREST BIENNALE 7, care va avea loc Ãntre 26 mai - 17 iulie 2016, a fost deja ales de cÄtre Bucharest Biennale International Advisory Board dupÄ ultima ÃntÃlnire din Berlin Èi va fi anunÈat Ãn curÃnd.
