            Centre for Contemporary Images

As it always has been, the Biennial is a multiple event, based on several partnerships with Geneva art centres, museums and galleries.

(see below...)
This 9th edition revolves around the central theme of art and sound, more precisely art and music. During ten intense days at the Centre for Contemporary Images (November 2-10), more than 400 hours of videos and films will be screened, among which an international competition of recent videos and films; performances, concerts and many meetings with the artists present at the workshop will also be proposed to the public. An important catalogue (180 pages, French/English) will be published, with up-to-date information about all the artists invited and many new texts by young Swiss art writers.

The noticeable news of this 9th Biennial will be the VideoLoft (a space designed by Swiss designers, allowing the public to view video tapes «à la carte»), and the artists’ space by German group of artists Saas Fee (1st floor of the Centre for Contemporary Images), and above all a very important exhibition of video and sound installations at the Mamco, with 16 international artists.

One last word about three concert nights organised by attitudes, and the very rich program of several Geneva galleries and art centres, all related to the Biennial.
