<P><STRONG>Periferic 8 - Art as Gift / Arta ca dar<BR>Bienala de Arta
Contemporana <BR>Iasi, Romania <BR>3-18 Octombrie 2008 </STRONG></P>
<P align="justify"><STRONG>Introducere</STRONG></P>
<P align="justify">A opta editie a Bienalei de Arta Contemporana Periferic o
are drept curator pe Dora Hegyi (project leader la tranzit. hu /
Budapesta, Ungaria) si este organizata de Asociatia Vector (Iasi), avand
ca partener principal Banca Comerciala Romana. </P>
<P align="justify">Periferic a inceput in 1997 ca un festival de performance
la Iasi, care a evoluat in mod organic catre o forma de expunere care
depasea granitele formatelor si ale genurilor. Incepand cu 2001, Periferic
a devenit bienala internationala de arta, organizata de Asociatia Vector.
</P>
<P align="justify">Detalii despre istoria Bienalei Periferic pot fi gasite
la adresele:<BR><A href="http://www.periferic.org" target="_blank" align="left">www.periferic.<wbr>org</A> si <A href="http://www.perifericbiennial.wordpress.com" target="_blank" align="left">www.perifericbienni<wbr>al.wordpress.<wbr>com</A></P>
<P align="justify"><STRONG>Conceptul - Art as Gift / Arta ca Dar
</STRONG><BR></P>
<P align="justify">Conceptul bienalei propune un model alternativ de schimb
si pune intrebarea: poate fi vazuta arta drept dar? In timp ce Bienalele
Periferic anterioare au pus in discutie mecanismele de piata ale artei
contemporane, Periferic 8 analizeaza direct metodele speculative care
influenteaza realizarea si valoarea sociala a artei. Practica sociala a
oferirii de daruri in sensul ei de zi cu zi este traita ca gest pozitiv,
avand in vedere ca tuturor ne place sa daruim si sa primim daruri.
Schimbul poate fi reciproc, dar el reflecta un sistem complex de diverse
motivatii: relatiile de putere, dependenta si dorinta de prestigiu.
Daruirea este de asemenea o metafora pentru a descrie economia artei de la
creatie/productie, trecand prin diseminare/distribu<wbr>tie, si pana la
receptie/consum.</P>
<P align="justify">Gestul daruirii va fi abordat ca o interactiune dintre
artist/arta si public. In cazul particular al orasului Iasi si al
Romaniei, chestiunea publicului este una de importanta capitala, deoarece
educatia traditionala a ignorat multa vreme evolutia recenta a artei si
teoriei contemporane.<BR></P>
<P align="justify"><STRONG>Periferic 8 </STRONG></P>
<P align="justify">Periferic 8 aspira sa-si formeze publicuri locale, si
astfel incetateneste o abordare paradigmatica pentru initiativele similare
din regiune. Prin proiecte noi si prin evenimente paralele de mediere
creativa, Periferic 8 doreste sa joace rolul de mediator, intarind astfel
dialogul dintre diversele domenii culturale. Pe de o parte prezinta modele
alternative de educatie, activand publicul deja specializat, artistii,
criticii de arta si teoreticienii, pe de alta parte implica alte segmente
ale intelectualitatii locale si persoane interesate de procesele
receptarii si ale medierii. Proiectul cauta sa consolideze constiinta
culturala locala pentru a forma o comunitate civila dinamica, care sa se
simta raspunzatoare pentru propriul context, si sugereaza ca arta
contemporana este un domeniu transdisciplinar, in care se pot discuta
chestiuni sociale si politice care afecteaza un spectru larg de oameni.
</P>
<P align="justify"><STRONG>Curatorul </STRONG></P>
<P align="justify">Dora Hegyi este istoric de arta si curator, si traieste
in Budapesta. Intre 1996-2003 a fost curator la Muzeul Ludwig din
Budapesta, si a initiat Project Room in Museum in 1999. Dora Hegyi a fost,
printre altele, curatorul expozitiilor "Budapest Box - The hidden scene of
the 1990s" (co-curator)<wbr>, 2002 si "Moszkva ter-Gravitation"<wbr>, 2003. Din 2005
Dora Hegyi este project leader la tranzit. hu, o initiativa de arta
contemporana sustinut? de Grupul Erste Bank, care organizeaza evenimente
discursive. In acest cadru, ea a initiat Scoala Libera de Teorie si
Practica a Artei, pentru a consolida analiza profesionista a artei si
gandirea critica din Ungaria.</P>
<P><STRONG>Organizatorul</STRONG></P>
<P align="justify">Bienala Periferic este organizata de Asociatia Vector din
Iasi, o asociatie non-profit fondata de artisti care promoveaza arta
contemporana in contextul local. Pe langa artisti, asociatia a fost
imbogatita in timp de sustinerea creativa a unor filosofi, sociologi,
mediatori culturali si lucratori sociali. De la expozitii si programe de
educatie, si pana la activitati de cercetare si editura, Vector analizeaza
relatiile dintre practicile culturii artistice vizuale si contextul
socio-politic.</P>
