Fourth CEI Venice Forum for contemporary art curators from Central Eastern Europe will take place in Venice at June 3rd.
In the European Year of Creativity and Innovation, the 2009 CEI Venice Forum wishes to offer a challenging critical standpoint to the issue, focusing on current debates in the art field. In order to inquire how art curators would be able to forward new issues concerning the role assigned to art in the production of (visual) meaning with regard to the new use of images created for mediation and transmission, the Forum’s key questions will include:
* What are the criteria of evaluation and acknowledgement currently used by curators for defining and distinguishing the cultural innovation (and the responsibility) of contemporary visual arts?
* Which are today the appropriate and delegated places for receiving and promoting artistic creative innovation?
The meeting will be the fifth edition of a biennial event which will be opened to Central Eastern European (CEE) experts and curators and to the commissioners of the Venice Biennale responsible for the national pavilions of the CEE countries. It will be organised under the patronage of Central European Initiative (CEI) which, after the experimental edition of 2001, adopted the Venice Forum as one of its Feature Cultural Events. The Venice Forum is an activity of the international project Continental Breakfast (CB) and is promoted by the Trieste Contemporanea Committee in collaboration with the UNESCO Office in Venice - UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe (BRESCE).
