The presence of nationalism as a means to understanding the disputes that mark our time. That is the background of the 21st Contemporary Art Biennial Sesc_Videobrasil | Imagined Communities, which will run from October 9, 2019 through February 2, 2020, at Sesc 24 de Maio, in São Paulo, comprising over 60 works of art and two collections, 55 artists from 28 countries, among video, painting, photography and installation.
The artistic director Solange Farkas, the trio of curators Gabriel Bogossian, Luisa Duarte e Miguel López and the members of the selection jury Alejandra Hernández Muñoz, Juliana Gontijo and Raphael Fonseca analyzed together 2,280 submissions from 105 nationalities to select works from Brazil, Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Oceania.

The Night of Museums and Galleries festival was held for the first time in Bulgaria in Plovdiv in 2005. The format started by initiative of SARIEV Gallery founders Vesselina and Katrin Sarievi. In 2007 the two established the Open Arts Foundation – the Night’s main organiser. Like other “White Nights” around the world, the idea is for the audience to encounter artists, art and culture in unusual evening and late-night hours. In 2005 the program included around 20 events attended by around 3000 people. Even then the festival was already a cultural revolution, doubling and tripling annual visits in some of Plovdiv’s major museums and galleries in one night. The night is quickly becoming one of the most recognizable Plovdiv events anticipated and attended by audiences across the country.

Collective Exhibition for a Single Body – The Private Score – Vienna 2019 ist eine performative Ausstellung. Die im Haus Wittgenstein gezeigten Arbeiten von Künstler*innen aus Mittel-, Ost- und Südosteuropa werden von Performer*innen in einem Supermarkt (re-)aktiviert. Das Projekt beruht auf einer Partitur, die von Pierre Bal-Blanc entwickelt und zum ersten Mal 2017 auf der documenta 14 in Athen und Kassel gezeigt wurde. The Private Score ist die zweite Version dieser Partitur, die auf Initiative der Kontakt Sammlung in Wien realisiert und mit Werken aus den Sammlungen der TBA21 und der Generali Foundation erweitert wird.
In der Wiener Version bezieht sich der Kurator auf künstlerische Gesten, die im osteuropäischen Sozialismus der 1960er- und 1970er-Jahre entstanden sind. Vertreten sind zudem Werke von Kunstschaffenden der 1989er-Generation, die das emanzipatorische Potenzial der Neoavantgarde reaktivierten. Die in den [...]
