The Bucharest International Biennial of Contemporary Art will take place this year between May 23 and July 24. Bucharest Biennale promotes awareness and dissemination of the culture, particularly in the fields of the arts, by means of exchanges and cultural cooperation within Europe and beyond and is looking for strategies that would develop mutual understanding and offer insights from different perspectives.

BB’s programs promote the exchange of art and ideas through the staging of contemporary arts and work globally and locally, bringing together an international vision of art and cross-cultural exchange with a commitment to the community involvement and the enrichment of Bucharest’s cultural resources.

BB aims to resolve the twofold problems of tradition and modernity, past and present, localism and global village, it strives to attain a balanced status between its aesthetic/artistic quality and popularity by overcoming the feeling of estrangement that the general public has towards the contemporary arts.

Its general purpose is to engender a shared cultural area by bringing people together while preserving their national and regional multiplicity and diversity.

The Grand Opening for this year’s Biennial with the Press Conference will be on 22nd of May 2014 at InterContinental Hotel. The opening party will be hosted by Club Control, the official club of the event.
