29th São Paulo Bienal
The 29th Bienal de São Paulo is anchored on the notion that it is impossible to separate art from politics. Such impossibility is expressed in the fact that art, through ways of its own, is capable of blocking the sensorial coordinates through which we understand and inhabit the world by bringing into it themes and attitudes that did not previously fit in, thus making it different and wider.

Taipei Biennial 2010
What is it that sets an art biennial apart from other official events. To some, a biennial is a matter of a simple working equation. “e-flux announcement + (budget x floorspace / number of artists)”. To many others, the distinctive feature lies in the investigatory options, in the possibility of creating a situation that is more ambivalent and tentative than others. With the latter premise in mind, the Taipei Biennial 2010 will be restructuring the traditional format along the following lines.
Media City Seoul 2010
Media City Seoul announces the sixth edition of the biennial under the title Trust. To connect with the rest of the world, we invest a certain amount of trust in various relations. Trust is by default an ambiguous notion, it is one grounded in good faith as much as in doubt. As individuals we not only have these relations to our fellow citizens, but also increasingly with modes of connection. With proliferating forms of media, information comes to us in many guises, and the message is more and more opaque; marketing poses as friendship, solitude as community, populism as democracy.
