Third edition

In the labyrinth of Central Europe, collective memory and the boundaries of painting meet in Prague for the third year running.

Now in its third year, Praguebiennale re-launches itself once more. Through a vast display of both recent and past works (from painting and photography to performance and installation art) this year's edition aims to explore and pinpoint the most significant aspects of Central European art. The show displays works by artists young and old, new and affirmed, as well as covering the very movements that shaped the sixties and seventies. Special exhibitions have been dedicated to Czech minimalism and Slovak actionism, which, hitherto, have not been documented on an international level.

Following upon the success new artists have achieved after participating in 'Expanded Painting' (Praguebiennale veritably "baptised" or, so to speak, "consecrated" Andro Wekua, Matthias Weischer, Dana Schutz, Tal R, Victor Man and Wilhelm Sasnal), Expanded Painting 2, will present twenty emerging European artists.

There will be a special focus on the "School of Cluj" in Romania , which, after Leipzig and Dresden, is proving to be a veritable goldmine of contemporary painters. Moreover, the fair pays homage to three seminal artists: Above all, however, the true stars of PRAGUEBIENNALE3 are indeed the very cultures and minor stories of Central Europe.
