COMUNICAT DE PRESA




BUCURESTI, 8 martie 2010. FELIX VOGEL, curatorul desemnat al BUCHAREST BIENNALE 
4 va sustine o conferinta de presa pentru a face publica lista artistilor 
participanti in BUCHAREST BIENNALE 4 - Bienala Internationala de Arta 
Contemporana Bucuresti.

Conferinta de presa va avea loc in cadrul PAVILION UNICREDIT - centrul pentru 
arta si cultura contemporana (Sos. Nicolae Titulescu nr. 1, in Piata 
Victoriei), BUCURESTI, 8 martie 2010, ora 11:00 a.m.

La conferinta vor participa Eugen Radescu, co-director of BUCHAREST BIENNALE, 
Ioana Nitu, director executiv, Andrei Craciun, assistant curator, si artistii 
romani participanti la cea de-a 4-a editie a bienalei.

BUCHAREST BIENNALE - Bienala Internationala de Arta Contemporana Bucuresti 
promoveaza cunoasterea si propagarea culturii – in special in domeniul artelor 
– prin intermediul cooperarii si al schimburilor culturale in interiorul 
Europei si dincolo de granitele sale, elaborind concomitent strategii ce 
stimuleaza intelegerea reciproca si ofera posibilitati comprehensive din 
perspective diverse.

BUCHAREST BIENNALE 4, realizata de Pavilion – journal for politics and culture, 
este programata pentru perioada 21 mai - 25 iulie 2010 si il are drept curator 
pe Felix Vogel (Germania) care a ales ca tema “Handlung – Productia de 
posibilitati”.

BB4 preia ambiguitatea termenului german Handlung – care este imposibil de 
tradus la toate nivelele sale de semnificare, dar se plasseaza cumva intre 
actiune, activitate, instrumentalizare si participare, desi poate insemna 
concomitent si poveste sau naratiune – drept punct de plecare pentru studierea 
unor practici diverse, care propun diferite forme de actiune. BB4 incearca sa 
investigheze cu minutiozitate si sa epuizeze promisiunea – ce poate fi doar o 
presupozitie – a unei arte ce are loc in sfera publica si care e supusa 
interogatiei: se creeaza astfel posibilitati de actiune (politica) sau opera de 
arta in sine mosteneste deja acest moment al actiunii? In consecinta, 
manifestarea nu incearca sa ofere neaparat raspunsuri, ci mai degraba sa 
articuleze intrebari si sa sugereze diverse perspective posibile. BUCHAREST 
BIENNALE  4 urmareste sa intensifice interactiunea cu contextul urban si 
politic al Bucurestiului, iarl participantii invitati vor proveni din diverse 
domenii, cum ar fi artele plastice, arhitectura, politica, antropologia etc.

Felix Vogel (n. 1987 in Germania) este curator si teoretician. Studiile sale si 
activitatea sa de curator sint centrate pe raporturile dintre estetica si sfera 
sociala. Prin urmare, el este interesat de domenii ce au legatura cu activismul 
civic, studiile de gen, avangardele istorice, precum si arhitectura 
participativa. Printre cele mai recente proiecte curatoriale ale sale se numara 
"100 Dutch Minutes („O suta de minute olandeze” – Bucuresti, Cluj, Iasi, 
Timisoara), 1234567 (Karlsruhe) si Holy Damn It! („Sfinte al naibii!” – 
Karlsruhe). Felix Vogel a coordonat recent aparitia a doua volume la editura 
OneStarPress din Paris: cel al lui Renaud Auguste-Dormeuil - Fin de 
représentation, si cel al Liei Perjovschi - Sense. In plus, scrie si lucreaza 
la diverse reviste, cum ar fi PAVILION, AFI si Displayer. 
In prezent Felix Vogel locuieste si lucreaza in Berlin, Germania.

PRESS RELEASE

BUCHAREST, March 8th, 2010 : FELIX VOGEL, the appointed curator of BUCHAREST 
BIENNALE 4 will hold a press conference to reveal the list of artists 
participating in BUCHAREST BIENNALE 4.

The press conference will be held at PAVILION UNICREDIT - center for 
contemporary art & culture (Sos. Nicolae Titulescu nr. 1, in Piata Victoriei), 
BUCHAREST on March 8th, 2010, at 11.00 a.m.

The press conference will be joined by Eugen Radescu, co-director of BUCHAREST 
BIENNALE, Ioana Nitu, executive director, Andrei Craciun, assistant curator, 
and the Romanian artists selected for the biennale.

BUCHAREST BIENNALE - Bucharest International Biennial for Contemporary Art 
promotes awareness and dissemination of the culture, particularly in the fields 
of the arts, by means of exchanges and cultural cooperation within Europe and 
beyond and is looking for strategies that would develop mutual understanding 
and offer insights from different perspectives.

The 4th BUCHAREST BIENNALE (Bucharest International Biennial for Contemporary 
Art), generated by Pavilion, journal for politics and culture, is set for 21 
May - 25 July 2010, under the curatorship of Felix Vogel (DE) with the topic 
“Handlung. On Producing Possibilities”. 

BB4 takes the ambiguity of the German term "Handlung" – 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 – as a starting point to examine diverse 
practices, which are proposing various forms of action. BB4 attempts to 
scrutinize and to exhaust the promise – that might just be a supposition – of 
art taking place in the public sphere. Is it thus creating possibilities for 
(political) action or has the artwork itself already inherited this moment of 
action? Therefore, the exhibition rather tries to articulate questions and 
suggests different prospects than to formulate answers. The Biennale aims to 
intensify the interaction with the urban and political context in Bucharest by 
inviting participants, coming from different fields like art, architecture, 
politics, anthropology etc.
