"Arad Biennale to Open Today"
2005-05-20 until 2005-05-29
Arad International Biennale of Contemporary Arts
Arad, , RO Romania

The First Biennial of Contemporary Art will be inaugurated Friday May 20, 2005 in the city of Arad, Romania, with the presence of almost 300 artists from different parts of the world and the exhibition of their work. "The Artistic Committee will be exhibiting with the artists from their country. An additional exhibition was held of our artwork at the Museum of Fine Arts in Arad last October, which was quite an honor," states Sandra Bray of Canada. Mexican artist Laura Castanedo considers that the main intention of this event is to provide a space and the conditions for the generation of many proposals and the true exchange of ideas in favor of art.

The Arad Biennale 2005’s web page (www.aradbiennale.org) is now showing its program of activities, from the gala opening on Friday May 20th, until its closing on Sunday May 29th. Far more than just hanging and exhibiting artwork healthy “discussions between artists” will be held every day from 9:30 in the morning, with one hour of minimum duration at the Arad Joy's Coffee, as part of a relief ritual "to know each others”. Besides the first three days of this first Biennial of Contemporary Art located in a border city of East Europe, three special "varnished" will be given: one in the Museum of Art with regard to "the two Americas"; another one in the Clío Art Gallery about India; and third, in the Delta Gallery, related to the Rumanian art and the artists.

Also, from Monday 23rd to Friday 27th, starting from noon, a consecutive series of conferences on Asian art, African art, American art: north and south, European art and Rumanian art will be held.

The Arad´s Biennale award ceremony will be held at the state theater on the night of Saturday 28th. Three awards will be given in the category of invited artists as well as three others for selected artists. A prize to artistic trajectory will also be granted, together with the award denominated "Arad Trophy", and to the "Vasile Goldis" granted by the Arad West University.
