"THERE IS NOT A GOOD BIENNALE WITHOUT BIENNALISTS"

by artist Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel    www.colonel.dk

A life Biennalist HQ is activated  at the Akademie der Kunste revealing some of the plans
and topics of Biennalist for the year 2013 .: Plans about the  coming Venice Biennale
but also the Istanbul Biennale 2013 / Cop 19 in Varsovie / Transmediale 2013 / and
" THE NEXT DOCUMENTA SHOULD BE CURATED BY A TANK " ongoing the next 5 years.

The attention will be kindly asked especially  to  Biennalist coming intervention for the  just apointed
Maldives pavilion at the Venice Biennale .
Biennalist will have a  project called :"COP 18 B  , is Climate change an Emergency ?  " " :

CAN WE TAKE ADVANTAGE THAT MOST NATIONS
ARE COMING TO VENICE WITH THEIR DISTINGUISHED REPRESSANTANTS
TO DEBATE - ONE  MORE TIME -
CLIMATE CHANGE  ?

WHAT ARE THE EMERGENCIES NOW ?

FOR EXEMPLE THINKING ABOUT NATIONS :
WHERE IS  THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE MALDIVES GOING TO BE RELOCATED ?

CAN WE DO  "HOSPITALITY TESTS "IN VENICE  :
PRE - SCENARIOS TO BE READY WHEN THE ACCIDENT WILL COME .
CAN WE TRY TO BE " IN ADVANCE OF THE BROKEN ARM " ?
IF SOME OF THIS QUESTIONS ARE NOT WELL DEBATED AT THE U.N . (  COP SERIES OF  CONFERENCES )
MAYBE THEY COULD BE DEBATED AT THE VENICE BIENNALE
WHERE 40 000 INTELLECTUAL AND INFLUENT PEOPLE ARE TOGETHER FOR 3 DAYS


Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel  on an invitation from  the curators of the Maldives Pavilion and in association
with Emergency Room , Biennalists , and  the Academy of Emergency Art  will present a new art project named   :
"COP 18 B " " or " Is Climate change an Emergency ?  ".

He will ask national pavilions  to give spaces to emergency room artists working on climate change issue that will be stationed next at Lido , ready to exhibit.

At the Venice Biennale Biennalist he will also work with  questioning the

-The Vatican pavilion ( through  the vatican twitter account  Biennalist tries to be invited to express about why does the vatican is mostly expressing about the hunt for sponsors  ?)

-Swap your wife , swap your pavilion . art or culture politic ? when forreign politic makes artistic
gymnastic ( we will launch an happy event  in Venice  ) 

- the curator Gioni for his concept frame referring to Hans Belting book " Antrophology of images  "


Beside the update 2013 Biennalist  HQ installation at the Akademie der Kunste you can also see the historic  film " The curator running lifting competition " /  from 2003   / the film had no cameraman and portraited  the hierarchy of the  Venice Biennale as well it comments on the Francesco Bonami  thematic " the dictature of the vieuwers ".
