Biennalist is an art format  commenting on  Biennales and other cultural managed events while they happen .
Often those events  promote them selves with  thematics .
Biennalist take those thematics very seriously , and test them on location .
at the Venice Biennale Biennalist  will converge with Emergency Room artists providing a burning content that cannot wait 
today is today, today before it is too late

Developping new forms of interacting with the Biennale in real time
and commenting it 
testing it .
Very often Biennalist converge with other formats like Emergency Room
working on an ultracontemporary ramp .
Challenging the Biennale with it, s  " stage " thematic and distorded press release  .

The Venice Biennale is  very interesting
as it gather the presence of 40 000 intellectuals at the same location
at the same time
and could offer great potential
to debate together about the burning topics
that need to be debated now
NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE .

How to transform the Venice Biennale in a debate arena
a 3 days  critical platform growing like a debate rave
an union making ramp
where all kind of debating models will be tested
and new precious thoughts will be elaborated  .
How to benefit of the presence of those critics_philospohes_artists_thinkers
We are positif and there fore we believe that the debates will take places

BIENNALIST, THE ACADEMY OF EMERGENCY ART, and PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING!
are setting up an action camp to express about Emergencies  NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE .

Together we will daily activate Emergency art, Critical Run, Penetrations, Slow Dance Debate, Art Flash Mobs, Photography Calling!, Rumor Art, Debate Raves, Quadridimensional Journalism.

Through these different formats we will question WHAT ARE THE EMERGENCIES TODAY?

WHAT MAKES US APATHETIC?

WHY ARE BIENNALES LYING TO US AND HOW?

ARE BIENNALES DANGEROUS?

CAN ART BE IN ADVANCE OF THE BROKEN ARM?

IS THE THEME OF THE VENICE BIENNALE PERTINENT?

CAN FREEDOM OF SPEECH BE CURATED?

CAN CRITIC BE SPONSORED?

and other questions that we will be burning to express about, simply not possible to ignore at this specific moment.

To join these 6 days of intensive education (May 30 – June 4, 2011) you will have to apply to 1@colonel.dk or negotiate with us on the spot.

Participants will get a Biennalist diploma if they accomplish the missions and training successfully.

The camp is an Art format by format artist Thierry Geoffroy/Colonel more known for his Emergency Room format and Critical Run format as well as for his Academy of Emergency Art.
 
Melina Peña and Copyflex will also be active artists in the format as well as some of the artists from the Emergency Room segment coming to the camp.
