17e Biennale de Paris, Nicosia, 19-25 oct. 2010

Reinventing the terminology of art


The 17th Biennale de Paris is taking place where things are occurring.
>From 19 to 25 October 2010, it is in Nicosia in partnership with Artos
Foundation around the project "Reinventing the terminology of art".

Art was built by successive liberations from its own values. New practices
appeared along with new terms. A term always arises from an existing
practice and defines it thus that it was hitherto indefinable. Name it is
to have it exist. Moreover it allows a progression and an extension of the
practice from which it is deriving. The terminology of art has changed
very little over the last fifty years. Accepting the immobility of the
terminology of art would be admitting the impossibility of historical
continuity. On the contrary, a renewed terminology is an encouraging sign
that art is being transformed. This is why an update has become essential.
The nature of the Biennale de Paris constitutive steps means that the
usual art words are insufficient to realise, to identify or to describe
them. In that, new words or terms are necessary. These terms are laying
the foundations of a new art terminology.

Co-organisers

Biennale de Paris
Building on an outstanding historical heritage, key driver of the art of
the second half of the twentieth century, the Biennale de Paris revives
today, fifty years after its creation by André Malraux with the
fundamentals of its creator, experimentation and confidence in youth,
while meeting the challenges of the 21st century art. In a global and
highly polished art world, it has the ambition to be a place where borders
and bodies of authority are finally exceeded. It is a strategy serving
dissident practices in mainstream art. Its goal is to change the idea of
art. It is promoting invisual* practices and in that the Biennale de Paris
is supporting an art without art works, exhibitions, curators and without
an audience.

*New word of art which refers to an artistic practice stripped of all
visual character.

Artos Foundation
A contemporary arts and science center dedicated to research and
creativity: two magical worlds of adventure and discovery, encompassing
sojourns into the fields of learning, chaos and imagination. Its premises,
both transcendental and material, inspire the contemporary artist/creator
and the scientist/creator alike, offering to both a platform, promoting
them at a local and international level, with quality being the main
criterion. ARTos is unique in its kind, harmoniously uniting, through a
pre-Socratic approach, Art and Science, with the addressor, as well as the
ultimate addressee, Man. The ARTos Foundation aspires to play the role of
attracting and challenging the contemporary artist/creator as well as the
scientist/researcher, both of whom, through their eternally-inquisitive
and insatiable nature, question and doubt, always striving to go one step
further. ARTos is that space where creative ideas will be born and take
shape free of exploitation, and with the intellectual rights of the
inspirers and creators being firmly and respectfully established and
safeguarded.
