The Quadrilateral Biennial

Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art - MMSU, Fiume (Rijeka)

Out of Left Field: the title of the exhibition invokes a foreign US English idiom, that stems from baseball and means suddenly, from an unexpected source or direction. In the same manner, the curatorial concept for this Biennial seeks to evoke this element of surprise but also to allude to political and ideological spheres. Artists represented are guided to mimic the strategy of non-alignment, where, starting from strongest individuality, a possibility of coexistence is established.

The Quadrilateral Biennial was initiated in 2005 focusing on contemporary art practices in the neighboring region of Croatia, Italy, Hungary and Slovenia. First BQ considered relativism, the second crisis of cultural heroes, and the third angles and intersection of media art. In its 4th edition, the Biennial embraced the challenge of exploring the open-ending and nomadic character of contemporary art, beyond regional and national boundaries, thus reviewing its regional focus in the broader, multilateral framework.

Out of Left Field

The title of the exhibition invokes a foreign US English idiom, that stems from baseball and means suddenly; from an unexpected source or direction. In the same manner, the curatorial concept for this Biennial seeks to evoke this element of surprise but also to allude to political and ideological spheres. Artists represented are guided to mimic the strategy of non-alignment, where, starting from strongest individuality, a possibility of coexistence is established. Artists co-present works in all media in powerful dialogue with performance art. Starting from examinations of body and identity, subjectivity and objectivity, the artists follow discursive practice of rigorous questioning of both the ideological apparatus and the self.

Artists: Milijana Babić, Davide Balliano, Paolo Canevari, Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen, Joan Jonas, Maria Jose Arjona, Marta Jovanović, Anna Fabricius, Albert Heta, Vlatka Horvat, Sanja Iveković, Božena Končić Badurina, Nika Oblak & Primož Novak, Jenny Perlin, Ana Prvački, Vladimir Nikolić, Sandra Sterle, Nebojša Šeric - Shoba, Jelena Tomašević.
