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 a remapping of  
contemporary art, in extending the art concept towards discursive  
manifestations with a sociopolitical impact.

The third edition of BUCHAREST BIENNALE is under Swedish curatorship  
of Jan-Erik Lundstrom and Johan Sjostrom (May 23 - June 21, 2008).

PAVILION, 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 – 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 – the decision of “which present” 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/biennale maintains its temporary structure.

BUCHAREST BIENNALE is proudly sponsored by Pilsner Urquell and has as  
strategic partner Unicredit Tiriac Bank.

PAVILION & BB3: Structuri temporare

Dezbatere si prezentare live despre Bucharest Biennale si generatorul  
acesteia revista Pavilion.

Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Clubraum (3rd floor)
Mariannenplatz 2, Berlin

Dezbatere publica despre implicarea sociala a revistei Pavilion

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.

A treia editie a BUCHAREST BIENNALE este curatoriata de suedezii Jan- 
Erik Lundstrom and Johan Sjostrom (23 mai - 21 iunie 2008).


Desi uneori se ocupa de un trecut (tanar), iar des este utilizata ca o  
sursa de referinta pentru viitor – in viitor devenind o referinta  
despre trecut –  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 – 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/bienala  
isi mentine structura sa temporara.

BUCHAREST BIENNALE este are ca sponsr principal Pilsner Urquell si  
partener strategic Unicredit Tiriac Bank.
