There’s no time left for warnings. We’re in it up to our necks right now – in the climate crisis, Surveillance Society, the bankruptcy of the financial sector … We’ve passed the points of no return. The dramatic consequences are looming on the horizon today. And there’s no excuse for our lethargy since we already possess ideas, tools and techniques to initiate a change of course.

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 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.
