ORIGINALLY CURATED
BY: ANTHONY GROSS (英国)
我们的目标是组织一个世界各地艺术家的充满活的新电影和录像作品展，这个展览不想落入仅仅反映民族或某个主题的俗套，而是要参与到另一个意&ĸ的全球化中去——一个更快速、更顽固、更苛求的全球化。
“双&展！艺术家电影和录像”事实ĸ&不是一个双&展。它&不固定在一个&别的城市，&不会在2&里再回去那里。双&展！最初开始在伦敦的暂时当代，一个在伦敦东南部Deptford的艺术家自营空间。为了暂时当代的发展的需要，&鼓建立一个国际间的&话，艺术家-策划人Anthony
Gross发起了此次活。一ō的作品是由一些暂时当代曾经合作过的国际客座策划人选送的。我们要求他们选择作品必须和我们有完全相同的标准：我们选择的作品是我们认为它最大程度ĸ的接近我们试图表达的内&。选送者需要简单的作品说明，&且他们的选择是最终的。展览的另一ō作品是暂时当代从艺术学校、朋友的朋友或在其他的一些展览ĸ看到过的录像艺术家提供。这样，这个展览不仅是世界各地当代录像艺术的呈现，而且&是作品、环境以ŏ这个环境中的艺术家&间的主观和社会联系形式的呈现。
我们要&别感谢2位选送者给与此次展览的帮，他们是比翼艺术中心（ĸ海）的&大豆和Nataline
Colonello（北京）。“双&展”将自在中国的5个艺术家私营空间内进行。有一&毫无疑问，世界各地的空间都希望有一个国际的水&，&别是&于艺术家私营空间而言，这种&话是非常重要的。我们非常荣&可以和以下的空间合作：比翼艺术中心、大山子、红色天空艺术中心、丽江工作室和坦克空间，&希望这是我们以后合作的良好开端。

Our aim was to create an exhibition showcasing vital new film and
video work by artists based around the world that didn't fall into the traps of
representing either nations or theme but rather participated in another kind of
internationalism - one faster and more headstrong and critically more
demanding.
'Biennale! Artist Film and Video' is in fact not a biennale. It is not sited in
a specific city and it will not return there in two years. Biennale! originated
in London at temporarycontemporary, an artist-run space in Deptford, South East
London. It was devised by artist-curator Anthony Gross in part as a means to
instigate an international dialogue necessary for the development of
temporarycontemporary. Half of the works were selected by international guest
curators that temporarycontemporary had worked with over the past years. We
asked them to select works using the exact same criteria as us: we chose works
that we feel are the most pertinent in our given context that we have access
to. The selectors interpreted that brief and their selection was final. The
other half of the exhibition is made up of video artists temporarycontemporary
have contact with from art school, friends of friends, or by having seen work
in other shows. In this way, the exhibition is not just a presentation of
current video art from around the world but also a presentation of how
subjective and social connections form between artworks, the scenes and the
artists emerging from them.
In large part thanks to the efforts of two of the guest selectors, Davide
Quadrio of BizArt (Shanghai) and Nataline Colonello (Beijing), 'Biennale!'
will be shown in 5 artist-run spaces throughout China. There is no denying
the need for local spaces around the world to engage on an international level
and it is important that this dialogue is achievable in particular for the
artist-run space. We are very pleased to be working with BizArt, Dashanzi,
and Redskyart Space, Lijiang Studios and Tankloft, and hope it is the beginning
of further collaborations.
