/// THE YOUTH BIENNIAL

Obaveštavamo Vas da će 29. jula u periodu od 17-22h biti otvoreno Bijenale mladih – ZAJEDNIČKI JEZIK, međunarodna izložba savremene umetnosti mladih koje se ove godine prvi put predstavlja beogradskoj publici, a organizuje se pod okriljem ULUS-a na više lokacija u Beogradu (Umetnički paviljon Cvijeta Zuzorić, Galerija ULUS, Rimski bunar, Vojni bunker, Veliki barutni magacin (Barutana), Amam (Planetarijum), Sahat kula, Kula Nebojša, KC Footnote, KC Magacin i niz javnih prostora) sa fokusom na prostor Beogradske tvrđave.

Ceremonija otvaranja obaviće se 29. jula u 17h u Umetničkom paviljonu Cvijeta Zuzorić na Malom Kalemegdanu broj 1, a u istom momentu biće otvorena i sva ostala izložbena mesta. Piknik povodom otvaranja trajaće od 17-24h na Donjem Kalemegdanu, platou ispred Planetarijuma, uz podršku Kišobrana.
Bijenale mladih – ZAJEDNIČKI JEZIK 2021 realizuje Organizacioni tim Bijenala mladih u saradnji sa Umetničkim savetom ULUS-a, a novost projekta je produkcija 40-ak novih radova mladih umetnika.

Inicijativa za ponovno pokretanje Bijenala, kao kulturnog okvira u kojem su vizuelni umetnici udruživali svoj rad, oslanja se na baštinu Fonda mladih (1972-1990) koja je poverena ULUS-u na čuvanje, a proistekla iz Fonda mladih „Moše Pijade“. Takođe, širi okvir ovog poduhvata je tradicija organizovanja Bijenala mladih na našim prostorima, izložbe koja se pune tri decenije održavala u Rijeci (1960-1991), a potom u Vršcu (1994-2004).

Organizacioni tim Bijenala je sastavljen od 35 mladih protagonista na polju kulture, a samo Bijenale uveliko prevazilazi strogo izložbenu formu i zamišljeno je kao platforma za horizontalnu saradnju i razmenu novih i afirmisanih aktera u polju umetnosti, samoorganizaciju u pogledu produkcije, a otvorena je za nove učesnike i partnerstva i predviđa mogućnost kontinuiranog ili povremenog angažovanja.

Kustoski tim Bijenala, angažovan po konkursu, čine Senka Latinović, Teodora Jeremić i Jovana Trifuljesko. One su skupa sa Organizacionim timom mladih radile na razvijanju novih ideja mladih umetnika koje su se kasnije i (ko)producirale, a biće predstavljene na izložbi. Kustoski tim je zaslužan za izložbenu koncepciju koja uspostavlja preklapanja i pronalazi sistem u kom se formiraju različiti kustoski koncepti odražavajući Bijenale mladih mestom koje odgovara na zajedničke potrebe svih koji učestvuju u njegovom stvaranju – što uključuje ne samo produkciju i izvođenje umetničkih radova, već i izgradnju diskursa i distribuciju znanja. U okviru celokupne manifestacije, uz kustoske radionice, biće organizovan i edukativni program u saradnji sa Domom kulture Studentski Grad i mnogobrojnim akterima na lokalnoj umetničkoj i kulturnoj sceni.

Tema manifestacije ZAJEDNIČKI JEZIK predstavlja rezultat sinergije različitih koncepata svih uključenih u ovaj projekat (tri zasebna kustoska pristupa nastala su na osnovu uvida u organizacionu strukturu i misiju Bijenala mladih koju su sastavili mladi akteri u polju umetnosti tokom pripremnog perioda za organizaciju Bijenala (Javne pripreme I), a potom su sjedinjena u jedinstvenu formu nizom radionica za mlade (Javne pripreme II). Jedinstveno izložbeno ostvarenje komunicira kroz zajednički označitelj “mi”, a ne govori u u ime nekog, već uspostavlja telo koje govori zajedničkim jezikom. Takav jezik je konstelacija simbola, haštagova, neologizama, emodžija, ali nije samo to. On je i sistem komunikacije revolucionarnog kolektiva u nastajanju. On je mesto susreta nove generacije koja se sporazumeva na drugačiji način, pomalo kriptovano za prethodne, kroz nova pravila, nove izazove, nove tendencije.

Molimo sve posetioce da se pridržavaju svih aktuelnih pandemijskih mera opreza i budu odgovorni prema sebi i drugima.

Free entrance on the opening day!

///  ZAJEDNIČKI JEZIK  ///  LANGUAGE IN COMMON  ///

It is far easier to dream about dreams of commonality than to live them. To speak a language in common, means using the common signifier “we” but also doing it carefully. We do not want to speak on somebody’s behalf, but rather to try and establish a new collective body which “speaks” this language by understanding and feeling the same problems.

That language knows only the plural. It has multiple meanings, it is supranational, transcultural, it doesn’t know nor is it concerned with boundaries. It is, above all else, an exchange, and as such it is not possible to find only one point of intersection where all the roads, ideas and perspectives converge and all the voices merge. There is no need to search for such a singularity. Instead of the one point of intersection we are developing constellations, instead of a gentle touch we opt for permeation as a strategy. Instead of occasional meetings, we offer tangling which cannot be untangled as a new approach. Instead of using sporadic, familiar words, the entire linguistic apparatus based on understanding becomes the means of communication which we use.

When we speak a language in common we don’t speak in generalities, but we do speak about generally present points of worries. If new beginnings and new worlds are possible (and we believe that they are) how are we going to establish a new collective body which will live through them? How do we use noises of contemporary society to explore the horizons and spaces of the future which are hinted at? How do we imagine and reach them?

Our world might not have had an atomic explosion like in the song “I Melt With You”, but it is on the verge of a social, ecological, and economic collapse. And it is exactly in this kind of world where we feel the need to build a new collectivity because it is an imperative for us. A collectivity which doesn’t measure its strength in neither tight rows, nor a plurality. It is not built through the fantasy of a grand collectiveness, but through a lot of small connections – through a lot of melting and merging (The Cvijeta Zuzorić Art Pavilion), through collective dreams or nightmares about better lives (The Planetarium), through all of those things which we are yet to fight for or against together (The Barutana) … It is built slowly and carefully through a plethora of gentle relations and relationships, sparkling flows, an exchange of energy, electricity, vibrations. Connective tissue of the new collective is neither firm not fixed. Limits are non-defined, there are no sharp edges. The new collective is, above all else, a heterogeneous flux. It is gentle, flexible and fluid – but precisely because of this, extremely resilient as well.

Izložba je segmentirana u 11 izložbenih celina u kojima učestvuje ukupno 118 izlagača iz celog sveta, a veliki broj učesnika nastupiće i u pratećem programu Bijenala.
