The 4th Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art


20.09.2011

The 4th Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art is to be held on September 23-October 30 at more than 30 venues, The Moscow News reports.

The fourth edition of the Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art is to run under the title “Rewriting Worlds,” based on the assumption that art is an area where new ideas are constantly generated, with contemporary artists “rewriting” the existing world by continuously coming up with new ideas and concepts.

According to the event’s curator, Peter Weibel, head of the Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, the Biennale’s main goal is “to demonstrate different levels of artistic thought — technological, political and psychological.”

The main program is to be held at the Artplay Design Center and the TsUM Art Foundation. It is to feature works by more than 80 artists from 33 countries, including 12 domestic participants. The main part is to be complemented by the Parallel Program, special projects and exhibitions of works by special guests, which are to take place all over the city, including such venues as MOD Design, MEL Space and Garage Center for Contemporary Culture.

For the first time the event is also expanding beyond Moscow, featuring related projects in Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kiev and London.
