>The
Emergency Biennale in Chechnya was conceived
and organized in 2005 by independent Paris and San Francisco-based
curator Evelyne Jouanno as an echo to the 1st Moscow Biennial
and as a reaction to the destruction of a people and culture.
Drawing attention to the plight of Chechnya and more broadly
to human and social emergencies in the context of "ambivalent
globalization" while also questioning the phenomenon and
proliferation of international Biennials, the Emergency
Biennale in Chechnya opened on February 23rd,
2005 in different clandestine locations in the city of
Grozny, and simultaneously in Paris, at the Palais de Tokyo.
More than sixty international artists, established and
emerging, provided one artwork and its duplicate - created
to fit into suitcases – which have been shipped to
Chechnya and to different cities in the world for mirror
exhibitions. After Paris, the touring part of the
exhibit moved on to Brussels, Bolzano, Milan, Riga, Tallinn,
Vancouver, Puebla, Istanbul, and now to San Francisco. In
each location new artists are invited, conferences organized,
and additional suitcases readied to be sent to Chechnya,
where the artworks will join their twins and the collection
will become the foundation for a museum.
Emergency
Biennale of Chechnya/ World Tour/ Stop 10: San Francisco was
made possible by the support of The Global Commons Foundation,
CCA Playspace gallery and Wattis Institute, haudenschildGarage
and Walter & McBean
Galleries of San Francisco Art Institute . This
will be the first presentation of the exhibit in the
United States.

>The
World Social Forum: Past Achievements, Present Dilemmas, and
Future Hopes is a community
forum on the WSF, global coalition movements, and local activisms.
The event will begin with a keynote address by leading world-systems
and anti-systemic movements scholar Immanuel Wallerstein on
the World Social Forum in historical perspective, and will
be followed by a dozen respondents from the Bay Area representing
a range of social justice movements who can speak strongly
to the question of local and transnational challenges and possibilities
for organizing global coalition networks. Respondents
include Walter
Turner, Global Exchange; tammy
ko Robinson, San Francisco Art Institute; Annie
Fukushima, Women for Peace and Genuine Security; Andrej
Grubacic, Z Magazine and Global Balkans; Ramón
Grosfoguel, UC-Berkeley; Iain
Boal, Retort Collective; Evelyne
Jouanno, Emergency Biennale in Chechnya ; Marina
Sitrin, New College of California.
Following the respondents the conversation will open up to
the whole room. In
addition to being a discussion on the role of the WSF and alter-globalization
movements, this gathering will serve as a first encounter among
individuals interested in forming a Bay Area Social Forum.
---------------
The
World Social Forum (WSF) is
an open meeting place where social movements, networks, NGOs
and other civil society organizations opposed to neo-liberalism
and a world dominated by capital or by any form of imperialism
come together to pursue their thinking, to debate ideas democratically,
to formulate proposals, share their experiences freely and
network for effective action. Since the first world encounter
in 2001, it has taken the form of a permanent world process
seeking and building alternatives to neo-liberal policies. World
Social Forums have taken place at the end of January at different
sites
throughout the world each year for the past seven years, always
coinciding with the World Economic Forum in Davos, against
which it stands as a protest and an alternative. In 2008, the
World Social Forum will not be holding centralized meetings
as in past editions. Instead, millions of people all over the
world will march, speak, celebrate, and dialogue in a week
of mobilization and a Global
Day of Action on January 26th that
will testify that the other possible world is already underway
and being built all over the globe.

and action on urgent contemporary social, cultural, environmental,
and geo-political issues, particularly relating to and from
the perspectives of the Global South. Its administrative
base is in San Francisco but its membership and activities
are transnational.

STATE OF EMERGENCY:
The Place and Function of Contemporary Art in Society
A Lecture by Evelyne
Jouanno
Thursday, April 26, 2007 4 p.m. 691 Barrows
Hall
University of California-Berkeley
In the cultural debates of the last decades,
if the challenge of multiculturalism offered new alternative models
of social organization, more open to the real coexistence and exchange
of cultures and human values, how do we turn these concepts/discourses
into reality? How
do we attract public attention and stimulate a more ample debate on controversial
social and political topics, easily ignored and forgotten realities,
countries that do not have visibility for historic reasons and peoples
who have been deprived of territories and identities? What kind
of new strategies must be developed to carry out this responsibility
beyond the existing institutions and market places and their political/financial
constraints?
Evelyne Jouanno, an independent art critic and
curator from Paris, has written extensively on contemporary art and
geopolitics and organized numerous transnational art exhibitions and
events. She
will discuss her project, the Emergency Biennale, a suitcase art project
and transnational traveling exhibition organized in Chechnya (www.emergency-biennale.org),
and multiculturalism in the context of ambivalent globalisation.
Organized by the Visuality and Alterity
Working Group. Co-sponsored
by the Townsend Center for the Humanities and the Center for Race and
Gender, UC-Berkeley.

Regenerations / Platforms
and utopian spaces
San Pedro Museo de Arte in Puebla, Mexico
With John Holloway ,
Irish lawyer, Marxist economist and philosopher whose work
is closely associated with the Zapatista movement in Mexico, his
home since 1991.
His 2002 book, Change the World Without Taking Power ,
has been the subject of much controversy in Marxist circles, and contends
that the possibility of revolution resides not in the seizure of state
apparatuses, but in day-to-day acts of abject refusal of capitalist
society. He is considered by supporters and critics to be broadly Autonomist
in outlook, and his work is often compared and contrasted with that
of figures such as Antonio Negri. (wikipedia source)
Evelyne Jouanno ,
independent curator and founder of Emergency Biennale in Chechnya.
Based in Paris for 15 years, she just moved to San Francisco, California.
Artists & collective projects of Regenerations/ Platforms
and utopian spaces :
Hernaín Bravo, Diana Córdoba,
José Luis Cortés S., Claudia Cuevas, Yéssica
Enríquez, LAALvaca, Pablo Loreto, Leonardo Marz, Diego Medina,
Metapong, Armando Miguélez, Isaac Muñoz, Perla Montelongo,
Gustavo Ramírez, Douglas Rodrigo Rada, seisxseis .
Juan Pablo Macias is an
artist and curator born in Puebla, 1974. He's living and working
between Mexico and Milano, Italy.

Rendez-vous
Biennale de l’Urgence en Tchétchénie / Conférence
samedi 20 mai , 15h30 au Grand Palais à Paris, exposition “La Force
de l’Art”
sur une invitation de Campement Urbain, dans leur espace de débats “Je & Nous”
Point sur les différents développements
du projet lancé le 23 février 2005 à Paris et
Grozny, au moyen de valises et grâce à la générosité de
près d'une centaine d'artistes du monde entier.
Considérant l'urgence toujours actuelle de la situation en Tchétchénie,
et par ailleurs, l'objet même de cette invitation à la parole (proposée
par Campement Urbain afin de répondre à la polémique suscitée
par l'exposition La Force de l'Art en son sein même et dans un
espace de débats permettant "l'infiltration du territoire de l’art
avec des pratiques politiques, sociales et culturelles ordinairement absentes
du champ de l’art"), cette présentation donnera lieu à une
table ronde mêlant divers témoignages et engagements, avec pour
pistes de réflexions : la liberté individuelle d'expression comme
droit humain fondamental, l'art face aux stratégies propagandistes et à leurs
consensus, l'art hors des sphères d'influence fonctionnaristes et bureaucratiques,
ou encore l'art comme force, comme pouvoir, voire comme arme...
Organisée par Evelyne Jouanno, directrice et commissaire de la Biennale
de l'Urgence en Tchétchénie.
Invités:
- Les artistes français mobilisés pour la Biennale de l'Urgence
en Tchétchénie (sous réserve de confirmation) : Adel
Abdessemed, Maja Bajevic, Ruth Barabash, Sylvie Blocher, Marc Boucherot, Véronique
Boudier, Mathieu Briand, Santiago Caicedo, Magali Claude, Seamus Farrell, Carlos
Franklin, Adriana Garcia Galand, Ghazel, Yves Grenet, Han Myung-Ok, Kolkoz, Koo
Jeong-A, Anton Koslov, Lucy Orta, Emmanuelle Rapin, Sarkis, Shen Yuan, Pascale
Marthine Tayou, Wang Du, Florence Wang, Yang Jie Chang.
- Milana, Rosa et Svetlana, étudiantes Tchétchènes venues à Paris
pour trois ans (à travers Etudes Sans Frontières)
- Représentant(s) de la FIDH - Fédération Internationale
des Ligues des Droits de l’Homme, marraine de la Biennale de l'Urgence
en Tchétchénie (sous réserve de confirmation).

© Campement Urbain infiltre
la Force de l’Art au Grand Palais
Tous les samedis de 13h à 18h30 :
Nouvelles urbanités, cultures et Périphéries
DOWNLOAD DOSSIER >>
L’intitulé de l’invitation
du commissaire d’exposition Hou Hanru “Pour un avenir incertain”,
qui prend acte de la crispation française actuelle, notamment dans
le champ de la culture (dont l’exposition La Force de l’Art
et les remous qu’elle suscite sont une des manifestations), nous
a décidés à établir un espace de débat
au Grand Palais : “Nouvelles Urbanités, Cultures et Périphéries”.
Cette problématique accompagne la présentation du projet Je & Nous
dans le quartier des Beaudottes à Sevran.
Si l’invitation de Hou Hanru décentre l’exposition en l’ouvrant à des
expérimentations en France, à l’étranger ou encore à des
collectifs d’artistes travaillant en périphérie, nous avons
décidé de répondre à son invitation par une double
stratégie d’infiltration et de déplacement. L’infiltration
du territoire de l’art avec des pratiques politiques, sociales, culturelles
ordinairement absentes du champ de l’art et le déplacement de ces
questions dans le lieu symbolique du Grand Palais.
Malgré l’aveuglement ou le mépris, c’est dans
les périphéries que s’expérimente la généralisation
de l’urbain de demain ; certains nouveaux phénomènes
y sont observés et théorisés. La question des centralités
n’a plus forcément de pertinence si ce n’est celle de nous
inviter à penser ce continuel déplacement des points de vue, des
espaces ; où le centre et la marge peuvent sans cesse être redéfinis
dans ce mouvement, qu’il soit géographique ou pas.
Campement Urbain s’est donc saisi de l’invitation au Grand
Palais, gageant que le champ de l’art reste un lieu d’expérimentations,
de croisement des pratiques et de débats.
Cette situation de l’art est définitivement critique.
Par ailleurs, il était impossible de participer à un tel événement
sans se positionner par rapport à l’actualité récente,
et de rester à l’écart des processus de précarisation,
de paupérisation, et de relégation qui affectent des parts de plus
en plus importantes du monde environnant.
Nous avons donc lancé un appel, autour de problématiques
liées à :
La survie. Les représentations. Le travail artistique et sa diffusion.
L’enseignement et la constitution d’un public. L’élitisme
et le populisme. L’inconscient du politique. L’incertain...
Cet appel a été fait le 15 avril 2006, via nos mails, devenus
ainsi le premier espace de débat.
Notre parti pris pour l’infiltration a été réactualisé par
la polémique produite par le retrait de Gérard Fromanger. Comme
lui, certains ont pris le parti du retrait, d’autres, au contraire, ont
vu dans ce contexte politique, la nécessité d’un engagement
clair et effectif. Voilà pourquoi les interventions auront trait, non
seulement aux cultures et périphéries, mais aussi à la question
de la parole :
pourquoi, où et comment faut-il la prendre?
Faut-il encore prendre la parole ?

Congratulation to our friends from ESF - Etudes
Sans Frontieres !
"Etudes sans Frontieres is happy to announce
that a new group of seven students has arrived in Paris from Grozny
on Saturday, September 24th, 2005. The goal of ESF is to help students
around the world who find themselves deprived of the possibiliy of
finishing their studies because of political crisis, conflicts, wars,
or repressions. Esf was created by young Frenchstudents in March 2003.
In September 2003, ESF made it possible for 9 students from Grozny
to come study in France. It is therefore the second round of students.
Among them, two have already left for Lille, where they must study
at Sciences Po. The five others just moved in to the Cite Internationale
de Paris.
None of this would be possible without the generous support of patrons
of ESF, journalists, politicians, and all the good will that has mounted
around the idea that education is the best ally of democracy.
ESF: All the members of the organization wish that the new arrivals
find success in their studies. We hope that it enables them to develop
projects that help Chechnya get out of this catastrophic situation
in which it finds itself today. We are devoted to doing whatever it
takes to help them fulfill their ambitions and dreams.
We will keep you informed of their progress and we hope to see you
at a welcoming party as soon as the new students have the time to adjust
to their new life.
We hope to hear from you soon, and thank you for all you do to help
with the organization success."

When Emergency Biennale
becomes Emotional Biennale...
As we told you, a first show with the
first artworks arrived in Chechnya has been
made in Grozny, in 2 public venues, for all
the daytime on february 22 . The message
arrived during the launching conference of
the EBinCh in Paris, Palais de Tokyo. We are
waiting for the images but one told us that
people who attended it were very touched and
happy...
Another incredible and emotional surprise
on February 23 was the arrival of Francis Alys
contribution in the morning : a little tapestry
by Alighiero e Boetti .
Francis Alys authentification certificate that
accompagnes the tapestry (one from the series
produced in Afghanistan) relates that he just
swapped with a Mexican collector a drawing of
him for this work since he found recently in
a book that Alighiero Boetti's ancestor, Giovanni
Battista Boetti, had led in the XVIII century
the Chechnian resistance against Catherine de
Russie. He ends up the certificate with these
words :"I thought that Alighiero Boetti
might have been pleased to see a work of him
return to the land his ancestor fought 3 centuries
ago."The work is of course for Chechnya
only. It is composed in 4 elements : Alighiero
Boetti's tapestry, the original of the certificate
(written with a typewriter) and the 2 copies
of the documents confirming the information that
Francis Alÿs found, in a book
of Alighiero e Boetti and in a book on Giovanni
Battista Boetti, his ancestor. Francis kept the
secret of his contribution (and even participation...)
until I received the pack. In the letter sent
to the artists during the mobilisation, we precised
that we were not waiting for a return of the
artworkds sent to Chechnya because of the situation,
and in this way, they could contribute to the
reconstruction of a patrimony which has been
completely devasted at the first moment of the
first war in 1994...
