It is said that fear is the strongest emotion. Perhaps this is its only universal characteristic, and it is a curious one. As something which stimulates every living organism similarly fear carries infinite responses, often strong opposites: arrogance and timidity, empowerment and immobilization, desecration and reverence. Such polarities lend themselves easily to exploitation experienced with alarming regularity in the politicization of otherwise existential, subjectively defined, and potentially manageable fears.

The city has always been a site of transformation: of lives, of populations, even of civilizations. With the rise of the mega city, however; with the advent of 24/7 rush hours; with the inexorable conversion of public space into commercial space; with the rise of surveillance; with the computer-assisted precision of redlining; with the viral advance of the xenophobic, the contemporary city is weighted down. We dream of something more. Not something planned and canned, like another confectionary spectacle. Something that can respond to our dreams. Something that will transform with us, not just perform change on us, like an operation.

Since 2001, UrbanFestival deals with a concept of public, especially that of public space, through its thematic focuses, programme selection, but also through its specific, often experimental, organizational schemes. In the social climate with intensified and hasty privatization of public spaces, namely the common meeting places, atomization of the society and strongly individualized, almost intimate reception of the cultural products, in the era of technological innovations that encourage and stimulate passivity, the crucial point is to reopen and affirm spaces of collective consummation, spaces of greater accessibility, as well as spaces of active participation of broader audience/public.

The Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art is now opening for the third time. This year’s curator, Sara Arrhenius, has chosen to break with the image of the biennials as broad surveys of a large group of artists. Instead, twelve artists have been given the chance to develop new projects, or to show several works. In order to create a common ground before the exhibition work, she gathered together artists and writers for a seminar in Gothenburg this past spring.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary, the Kunsthalle Fridericianum is staging a major jubilee exhibition on the multifaceted history of the documenta. The exhibition 50 Jahre / Years documenta 1955 – 2005, curated by Michael Glasmeier, addresses this sometimes contradictory and erratic history from a present-day perspective, choosing a range of approaches and materials. In an endeavour to present as many aspects as possible, the exhibition is divided into five intersecting and complementary sections: an archival chapter, an art history chapter, a site-specific chapter, a film chapter, and a scholarly chapter. It is not a recollective exhibition. It is about dealing productively with an institution that has the task of reflecting each current present.
