about:
The Theoretical Forum of the Tenth Havana Biennial will consist of different actions. A first space for discussions was opened in March 2008 and comprises the international presentation of a debate that will extend until March 2009. This exchange of ideas will be carried out through an online forum with artists, theorists, etc., and conferences that will also circulate as light publications during the year. It is an exchange oriented both to the international and Cuban contexts in order to create the conceptual bases or guidelines of understanding on the topic in question, with a view to prepare the public to face and understand the Tenth Biennial's discourse. It also comprises the edition of an anthology with a selection of the ideas emerged from the different Havana Biennials and their theoretical events, as well as the publication of the book on the Theoretical Event of the Tenth Havana Biennial, which will present the public with the works discussed in March 2009 at the traditional venue of the National Fine Arts Museum.

bio:
La Bienal de La Habana, espacio de confrontación y reflexión de singular importancia en el escenario internacional de las artes plásticas, cumple 25 años con su décima edición, la que reunio, del 27 de marzo al 30 de abril de 2009, a más de doscientos artistas de unos cuarenta países.
La realización de su décima edición será una circunstancia propicia para estimular la reflexión sobre la historia de la Bienal de La Habana y los presupuestos que sirvieron de base para convocar hace cinco lustros, en un clima genuino de acercamiento, a creadores de América Latina y el Caribe, Asia, África y el Medio Oriente. |
