The Curitiba Biennial reviews the biennial as a format and leaves aside the practice of selecting a theme and a title. Today, this practice is little convincing as it is the result of the ascendancy of the curatorial gesture. The connection between theme/title and the art works exhibited in any biennial is feeble or imaginary, since nearly any subject/title, typically a spectacular advertising resource, can apply to nearly any grouping of art works – before the wide public indifference.

Our project will be assembled under the banner title L’avenir – (looking forward).
As the title suggests the focus of the project is on speculation and the history and currency of projecting into the future in relationship to recent developments in contemporary art. The idea of “what is to come” provides a framework for considering our current condition from geo-political, environmental, technological, scientific, social, cultural, ideological, economic, ethical and metaphysical perspectives.
Initiated in 1994 as an in-house international training trajectory for young curators, the Curatorial Programme of de Appel arts centre offers its participants a condensed package of professional encounters, hands-on experiences and skills that can be seen as instruments for the further development of a professional career. Encompassing a wide array of sometimes contrasting voices, the programme pays attention to the various approaches that exist and arise in contemporary curating, thus mapping the dynamic professional field in all its complexity and confusion, its fragmentation and fluidity.

The newest journal from the MIT Press, ARTMargins will foster awareness and conversation about contemporary art in an expanded field of practices. Within the fabric of a present moment characterized by different, and often incompatible, temporalities and agendas, ARTMargins wants to locate transnational commonalities and trajectories that connect, or divide, different regions of the world, bringing together artistic practices from (post-) transitional zones, while at the same time questioning the logic of transition itself: today the entire world is a margin in transition.
ACAP 2014 will be the 6th edition of the Abraaj Capital Art Prize (ACAP), and there will be 5 winning projects commissioned. The annual prize is an opportunity for artists to put forward a proposal to create a new artwork. It must be ready by Art Dubai in March 2014, so the preparation time can include travel and research as well as production and shipping of the artworks to Dubai. Before submitting, artists need to have discussed their proposal with a nominator of their choosing, who is familiar with their practice and is happy to support the proposal. A guest curator will be appointed by March 2013 to work on the 2014 edition, and will be included in the Selection Committee for the artists.
