The International Biennial Association (IBA) is pleased to announce its 6th General Assembly will be held in Santiago, Chile on December 10-14, 2019. For the sixth consecutive year, representatives of biennials from all over the world will converge to reflect on the essence that sustains the sense of developing every two or more years, a space of knowledge convergence and actions, that are born from diverse fields of culture.
Organised by the IBA and the Corporación Chilena de Video (CChV), the encounter will be an opportunity to define the role of biennials in the 21st century and how, from the common force manifested in this union, participants can contribute to the transformation of a society that moves between hyperconsumption, high information saturation and extreme inequality global wealth.
Socioclimatic crisis will be put as an axis on the discussion for the definition of a general position, on the search of a collective cultural...ethic where the balance between growth, distribution and equality of opportunities does not endanger our permanence on Earth.
The programme for IBA Members will include the members-only assembly at Casa Central Universidad de Chile, during which various matters regarding the association will be deliberated and voted upon.
The following day will see a public conference, which will take place at Cineteca Nacional de Chile and will feature talks and conversations with attendees in which provocations inspired by the general theme will be presented while dictated by local and international experts. The conference will present the concrete experiences of interaction between art, community, interdisciplinarity and social climate crisis.
An additional lecture, which will be at Centro Nacional de Arte Contemporaneo Cerrillos, will be a meeting in which local and international experts, representatives of the IBA and the Chile Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Heritage of Chile will take part, confirming the possibility of a contribution to the local and international construction of cultural policies on the relation art, culture and nature.
These events will feature presentations from a variety of professionals like independent curator María Berríos, French curator Nicolas Bourriaud and Dr. Adrian Lahoud, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture of the Royal School of Arts.
Members are also invited to join explorations that will include visits to museums, galleries, collections and non-conventional cultural spaces to be part of an exploratory tour of Santiago's artistic scene with focus on the 14th Biennial of Media Arts of Santiago.
