3. BIENNALE OF PAINTING
October 29 – December 6, 2015
Home of HDLU – Meštrović Pavilion
Ring Gallery, Barrel Gallery, Expanded Media Gallery

The Biennale of Painting follows the development and current achievements of Croatian painting by presenting prolific exhibitions and authors of the last two seasons. The continuous follow-up enables development, impact on the cultural scene and interest of the audience. In the country without an organized art market, the Biennale of Painting provides the wider public with the opportunity to meet different generations, heritage and poetics employed by the painting scene, which is still the most interesting to lovers and collectors. The Biennale features the whole scope of artists, from the youngest ones, who have only just come out of the Academy, to the young stars and well-known painters and academics.

The Biennale of Painting is an attempt to overcome the trendy recognition; it poses a possibility for a number of approaches to painting and the personal significance the painting has to the author and the audience.

GUEST EXHIBITION
EXPORTING GDANSK 

——————————————-

This exhibition highlights the most recent growth and new trends in painting and its expanded field, presenting a vibrant, innovative artistic environment of Gdansk and its surroundings, while examining key transformations in the practice taking place today, contextualised back to the 1960s and the 1970s with the pioneering works by Teresa Pągowska (1926-2007), painter and educator, working for fourteen years educating students at the PWSSP, currently Gdansk Academy of Arts, while challenging Formalist tendency in the medium of painting.

A point of departure for the exhibition stem from an attempt at political articulation of artistic practice as well as intervention in theory within spaces of the expanded field, attending to recent histories of post-Socialist Europe. The works on display offer a reflection on a range of challenges associated with a contemporary living in post-Sociality realms, acknowledging political climate of neo-liberal reality, civic aspirations of new Europe and its socio-economic challenges as well as perpetuation of power dynamics, established ways of doing things and traditional gender binaries manifested at home and at work. The works are displayed into four thematic sections: 1. Political gloss; 2. Breathing the everyday;  3. In the mirror; and 4. Permanent temporality.

The title of the exhibition Exporting Gdansk, points out the city’s remarkable history of being an international trading port with its transient cultures and complex geo-political realms, made of multiple European influences as well as past and present trends in artistic Diasporas.
