Crazycurators Biennale III
Start date: May 1, 2010,

Crazycurators Biennale is one of the smallest biennials in the world. It is a form of a constructive critique of megalomaniac biennials which have been constantly arising all around the world. Thus the conception is based on a narrow selection of renowned curators actively working in the framework of gallery practice. For the biennial each of them chooses one artist. Paradoxically they lose a chance to be curators in the right meaning of the word and curate their own exhibition in the framework of the biennial. Likewise the biennial has no ambition to adjust a selection of an artist to a given theme, extremely abstract, that is usually a part of simmilar events. Intentional insubstantiality of Crazycurators Biennale is on the other hand balanced by a misleading name of an event.One of the participating artists is awarded the "Crazycurators Award". The winner will be selected by the jury consisting of the participating curators. The main mission of the project is to create within a Slovak context periodical international art event referencing contemporary art and aiming at the wide audience - professional but also lay. The biennale focuses on the actual, experimental and progressive forms of art and curatorial strategies. The most important is a close cooperation of curators from various European countries, their active role in conceiving the conception of the biennale and selection of artists. The main criteria for the selection of artists are the current streams in art and reflection of contemporary art. Mutual communication of curators and artists, chamber-like atmosphere is a charcteristic fetaure of the project in all its phases distinguishing it from a used model of the similar international projects.
