Contour 2009 comes at a timely moment to consider recent history, as it takes place twenty years after a key date in twentieth century history, 1989. The European map has changed considerably since then, as have the geopolitical situation, cultural values and traditional notions of identity; post-1989 euphoria has now evaporated. The necessity to negotiate the present, through an understanding of the past is becoming more entrenched in historical theory, overthrowing ideas about the 'end of history' and the dominant culture of 'presentism'. Mechelen, itself a city steeped in history, seems the perfect place to engage such questions.Contour 2009 will revolve around questions of historical representation and historiography, will explore how historical narratives are constructed, and will engage in a process of historical re-evaluation demonstrating the increased importance of historical context in a large segment of contemporary art practice. The biennial will not be governed by an overbearing curatorial concept which instrumentalizes artistic practice under one rubric, but will allow room for artists to present multiple perspectives on the chosen theme – whether social, political, cultural or personal - perspectives that will shed light on the 'jigsaw that is history', as the historian E. H. Carr famously called his discipline. Thus the biennial will not be an exhibition about a specific historical period or subject, but rather a series of reflections on different aspects of the historical and historiographic, relating to our modern past. Likewise, the exhibition will not be constructed as a linear narrative but will consist of autonomous chapters or short stories, which may or may not connect to one another.The artists participating in the biennial take recourse in the past to re-frame the present and to demonstrate the complex and often persisting entanglements between past, present and future. They highlight how the residue of history affects our perception of the present as well as our imaginings of the future. Employing a variety of narrative strategies, they reflect on memory and the passage of time, often creating distinct 'chronotopes' of their own. Their work foregrounds practices of retrieval, researching, referencing, recycling and finally interpreting historical material anew, often to dismantle the authority of dominant historical narratives, or to bring to the fore repressed or peripheral ones.How does one deal with the spectre of history and the ghosts of the past? How is history written and by whom? Whose history is it? Contour 2009 advocates the importance of history in our age of forgetting. To quote Eric Hobsbawm, one of the greatest historians of our time, 'History alone provides orientation and anyone who faces the future without it is not only blind but dangerous, especially in the era of high technology'. In any case, an understanding of history – or histories, as is perhaps more correct a term - is paramount as it entails an understanding of social and cultural being.Participating artists: Eija-Liisa Ahtila / Herman Asselberghs / Yael Bartana / Ulla von Brandenburg / Andreas Bunte / Lene Berg / Michaël Borremans / Matthew Buckingham / Chto Delat / Maryam Jafri / David Maljkovic / Vincent Meessen / Nathaniel Mellors / Wendelien van Oldenborgh / Julian Rosefeldt / Mira Sanders / Yorgos Sapountzis / T.J.

The main festival programme will take place in Riga, October 8 - 10, 2009, featuring: _ International art and science conference (organized in collaboration with Art Research Lab of Liepaja University) _ Media art exhibition Energy (in RIXC gallery at Spikeri) _ Experimental film screenings, live performances, workshops and artists' presentations (in RIXC Media Space) - - - Conceptual background: Energy makes change (E=mc2) In nature, energy is found in many different forms - kinetic (avalanches), motion (wind), sound (thunder), water (rain), thermal (fire), electrical (lightening), magnetic (Earth's magnetic field), radiant (light), etc. Energy is involved in all processes that take place in Universe and on Earth. In human society, energy is the most essential resource driving its economy and its future development. Now, in the twenty-first century, it has turned out that human society with its information technologies need more resources to sustain its development then ever before. Yet, currently used forms of terrestrial energy production known today, have turned out to be finite, non-sustainable, posing a serious danger to the climate, people and environment. Creative ideas and new approach today is requested nearly in all fields, while sustainable development of both energy and information technologies have become key issues in nowadays. Smart devices and energy internet, clean and renewable energy resources, alternative and ecological design and production methods, open source and hybrid approaches to information technologies - are just few of the broad potential quests that could change the future landscape of sustainability. The quest for a sustainable world may succeed, or it may fail. If it fails, the world will become unthinkable. If it works, the world will become unimaginable. In practice, people will experience mixed success. (Bruce Sterling) Yet, scenario of saving the world can only have any success, if people from different fields - scientists and artists, politicians and business people, theorists and practitioners, futurists and engineers, producers and consumers, etc. - will eventually be open for new ideas and new collaborations. The Energy festival will offer a space of exchange for an interdisciplinary group of participants, who will share their scientific and artistic, utopian and critical visions of future terrestrial energy. - - - Themes: I ENERGY IN NATURE AND SOCIETY: - The concept of energy and its various contexts: in Universe and on Earth - Invisible energy: in myths and legends, in nature and science - Energy technologies: in human life and in information society II ENVIRONMENTAL AND CULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY: - Environmental science research, climate change and ecology - Permaculture and biosystem design - Historical traditions vs. modern alternative solutions in urban planning and architecture - Transition theory and futuristic visions of sustainable living - III OPEN SOURCE, INFORMATION AND ENERGY: - Synergetic and co-relation between information and energy - Smart devices and Energy Internet - Sustainability using open source approaches: in art, culture, ecology, architecture, environmental design - IV ART AND ALTERNATIVE SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGIES: - Dye sensitized solar technologies - Green chemistry: new approach in biotechnology - Artistic explorations of clean and renewable energy technologies (sun, wind, water, tides, biomass,
