This master thesis examines the role of the forthcoming Helsinki contemporary art biennial within the city strategies to fulfill social, economic and environmentally sustainable development. The vision of the city of Helsinki is to be the world’s most functional city, creating the best conditions for residents and visitors as well as an attractive knowledge hub for companies and individuals. The potential of achieving some of the strategies’ objectives through the contemporary art biennial is analyzed through interviews with experts of Helsinki Art Museum and benchmarking the city of Helsinki with other long-term biennial cities, specifically, Venice, Berlin and Liverpool. For the benchmarking, it has been used data provided by the European Commission’s on line platform “Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor”. Helsinki biennial takes part in the place-making, city branding as well as in the strategic plan for the city. Overall, the event is efficiently related to most of the objectives of the city strategies, of which the maritime strategy, the project for youth social inclusion, exercise and mobility, health and welfare promotion. The convergent outputs of the analysis of Helsinki provided positive scenarios on the creation of new jobs within the creative economy and revealed that human capital and education sectors might undertake a significant increase. Yet, a broad overview on the strategies for the city of Helsinki 2017-2021 revealed contrasting aspects within the sustainable development principles. The new jobs created through the maritime strategy seem not completely fulfill the ambitious aims of the city strategies to create new captivating jobs through new companies and startups. Furthermore, in order to avoid the worst effects of climate change, environmentally sustainable alternatives for the Biennial in the island of Vallisaari should be carefully considered.

  • Venice's Giardini Della Biennale and the Geopolitics of Architecture
    FOLKLORIC MODERNISM: VENICE’S GIARDINI DELLA BIENNALE AND THE GEOPOLITICS OF ARCHITECTURE Joel Robinson This paper considers the national pavilions of the Venice Biennale, the largest and longest running exposition of contemporary art. It begins with an investigation of the post-fascist landscape of Venice’s Giardini della Biennale, whose built environment continued to evolve in the decades after 1945 with the construction of several new pavilions. With a view to exploring the architectural infrastructure of an event that has always billed itself as ‘international’, the paper asks how the mapping of national pavilions in this context might have changed to reflect the supposedly post-colonial and democratic aspirations of the West after the Second World War. Homing in on the nations that gained representation here in the 1950s and 60s, it looks at three of the more interesting architectural additions to the gardens: the pavilions for Israel, Canada and Brazil. These raise questions about how national pavilions are mobilised ideologically, and form/provide the basis for a broader exploration of the geopolitical superstructure of the Biennale as an institution. Keywords: pavilion, Venice Biennale, modernism, nationalism, geopolitics, postcolonialist. Joel Robinson, The Open University Joel Robinson is a Research Affiliate in the Department of Art History at the Open University and an Associate Lecturer for the Open University in the East of England. His main interests are modern and contemporary art, architecture and landscape studies.

Disquiet serves as a driving force behind research, which requires dialogue to verify its theories and needs history to absorb knowledge. This is what La Biennale does and will continue to do as it seeks to reinforce a methodology that creates even stronger bonds between its own disciplines. There are six Muses at the Biennale: Art, Architecture, Cinema, Theatre, Music and Dance, given a voice through the great events that fill Venice and the world every year.

Natalia Goncharova will offer visitors a unique opportunity to encounter Natalia Goncharova’s multi-faceted artistic output. A pioneering and radical figure, Goncharova’s work will be presented alongside masterpieces by the celebrated artists who served her either as inspiration or as direct interlocutors, such as Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Giacomo Balla and Umberto Boccioni. Natalia Goncharova who was born in the province of Tula in 1881, died in Paris in 1962 was the first women artist of the Russian avant-garde to reach fame internationally. She exhibited in the most important European avant-garde exhibitions of the era, including the Blaue Reiter Munich, the Deutsche Erste Herbstsalon at the Galerie Der Sturm in Berlin and at the post-impressionist exhibition in London. At the forefront of the avant- garde, Goncharova scandalised audiences at home in Moscow when she paraded, in the most elegant area of the city with her face and body painted. Defying public morality, she was also the first woman to exhibit paintings depicting female nudes in Russia, for which she was accused and tried in Russian courts.

  • How the Finnish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale Had to Change Into a Black Box for Contemporary Video Art and How It Became a Symbol for Artists to Defeat
    Alvar Aalto Researchers’ Network Seminar – Why Aalto? 9-10 June 2017, Jyväskylä, Finland Against Aalto: How the Finnish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale had to change into a black box for contemporary video art and how it became a symbol for artists to defeat Gianni Talamini architect, PhD Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering City University of Hong Kong Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong P6424 AC1 Tel: (852) 3442 7618 Email: [email protected] Title Against Aalto: how the Finnish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale had to change into a black box for contemporary video art and how it became a symbol for artists to defeat. Abstract The Finnish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale has hosted more than 30 exhibitions since its construction in 1956. Alvar Aalto designed the space as a temporary structure to display conventional Finnish visual art, such as the work of Helene Schjerfbeck. Although being relatively short, the history of the pavilion has been very eventful. The original plan for a temporary building to be dismantled and rebuilt every second year was not followed. Soon after its construction the pavilion instead went through a period of semi- abandonment, being used as a storage space and green house. Only the death of its designer in 1976 brought interest from the general public back to the pavilion for a short time. In the 1990s the dedicated work of Finnish scholars contributed crucially to the conservation both of the building and its history. After the 2000s Finland again started to use the pavilion as a national exhibition space.

  • The 2015 Venice Biennale
    THIRD TEXT Critical Perspectives on Contemporary Art and Culture April 2016 The 2015 Venice Biennale N J Hynes In 2015 the Venice Biennale weathered not only blazing sun, thick fog and occasional flooding; it also weathered a critical storm: an atypical number of negative reviews filed by art critics in the heat of May and June. Yet by the time the Biennale closed, total visitor numbers reached over half a million (up from 475,000 in 2013), thirty-one percent of these students and young people. This review will examine the staying power of both the exhibition and its critics’ objections, six months on. Which of them lasted the course? Going to the Biennale in November is like seeing a friend nearing the end of a marathon. They’re still going strong, but have slowed down and look gaunt. There is a grace and a lack of pretence, along with a pride in having survived. With the glamorous parties long over, the Biennale belongs to the Venetians, families and friends slipping in before the show ends. The paint is peeling in places, some technology no longer works, a few escalators remain permanently out of order. But in this weathered state the art still says what it did earlier – perhaps, indeed, it does so more clearly. The theme chosen by this year’s curator, the New York-based Okwui Enwezor, was ‘All the World’s Futures’. Sounding like a truncated phrase from Shakespeare, the title suggests comprehensiveness: a singular, shared world; a variety of visions, possibilities and fates. But there are other futures to consider too; those traded on commodity markets by brokers and traders barely connected to the world at all.
