Polymorph, vielfältig, mulitkulturell und in ständigem Dialog mit sich selbst sowie mit ihrem Publikum; dies sind die Qualitäten der PRAGUE BIENNALE 4, welche dieses Jahr zusammen mit der PRAGUE BIENNALE PHOTO 1 präsentiert wird.

Prague Biennale directors Giancarlo Politi and Helena Kontova have created an open forum on painting, presenting this issue through several declinations and manifestations: locals, nationals and internationals.
The result is EXPANDED PAINTING — a title coined on the occasion of Prague Biennale 2 and inspired by Rosalind Krauss’s “Sculpture in Expanded Field.” This term becomes the starting point for a series of sections which aim to spotlight and engage the actual state of painting in Central Europe together with other countries like Mexico, Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines, in cooperation with a team of active and creative curators.

The counterparts of this parade of paintings and painters never seen before internationally are ART IN GENERAL and FOCUS ITALY, which confirm once again the Biennale’s mandate and its attention to a multiplicity of interests and themes. ART IN GENERAL captures the current situation in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, featuring
peculiar and unexpected curatorial visions, while FOCUS ITALY brings ‘on stage’ a fraction of Italian artistic production that is often overshadowed.

Die PRAGUE BIENNALE PHOTO 1 debütiert dieses Jahr und stellt einen ausführlichen Überblick über die neue fotografische Darstellung in Tschechien und der Slowakei dar. Durch eine ausgefallene Verbindung zur USA bestätigt sie noch einmal die Wichtigkeit der Fotografie in diesen Ländern.

Featuring four sections, this counterpart of the Biennale confirms once again the nature of such an event: synergy, juxtaposition, pluralism become the ingredients for this Prague Biennale, which is the sole rendezvous for artistic production in Central Europe and beyond.
