讲座提纲Lecture outline
“双年展曾经是我们工作和生活中的时刻，我们聚在一起，共同学习又互相学习。今天的世界风云变幻，我们又要如何看待双年展呢？为应对政治和经济挑战，特权阶层和非特权阶层之间的差距不断扩大，作为文化工作者，我们很难不问自己，我们的实践、我们的艺术机构包括双年展的未来是什么”。
——比利安娜.思瑞克
克服重重挑战并经过一年的延期，第59届威尼斯双年展终于在2022年4月23日正式开幕。在国际形势多变的情况下，本届威尼斯双年展有何新动向、组织过程和重要展览中有何新思考？这届双年展又将给当代艺术界带来哪些冲击？为及时把这场国际艺术盛会的第一手信息带给国内艺术爱好者，广州美术学院研究生学院、新美术馆学研究中心及广州美术学院美术馆联合举办重要讲座，主题即为：《转折点——2022年双年展亲历者的思考》。

讲座特邀广州美术学院泛东南亚三年展顾问、策展人之一的比利安娜（Biljana Ciric）给大家带来她在威尼斯双年展的策展和观看经历分享。
比利安娜是本届双年展塞尔维亚国家馆的策展人，展览主题为“合流”（Walking with Water）。作为参与双年展的策展人，她对双年展和当今世界的关联有着独特感悟，“因为这个展览真实地反映了我们支离破碎的现实”：世界的一部分在威尼斯得以呈现，但差不多另外的一半似乎在展览中消失；同时这个世界还备受战火、疫情和其他问题的困扰。

“我将反思双年展的殖民遗产及其表现逻辑、生态和经济挑战，给出该领域的例子，以及它可能的未来想象，否则会从表现形式转向接受”。比利安娜在讲座中，也将重点关注双年展作为一种机制中可能发生的变化，认为这些变化应该得到承认，并在实践中进一步积累，以探索各种新的策展方法，从而更适应面临各种危机的当前世界。
比利安娜策展的塞尔维亚国家馆，展出该国艺术家弗拉基米尔·尼科利奇（Vladimir Nikolic）在过去三年中的探索，展览强调了艺术与技术和自然的关系：水是我们身体的一部分，但水也是我们的连接点，而不是作为分离点。艺术家在这些水域中游泳，等待完美的图像出现。展览因此暗示：我们需要思考发展另外一些人类感知和表达技能，否则很难适应不确定的政治未来所带来的焦虑。

“Biennales used to be moments in our works and lives of travelling to come together, learn with each other and from each other. What are they today？
In response to the political and economical challenges, continuous broadening gaps between privileged and those who are not it is hard not to ask ourselves as cultural workers what is the future of our practice, our art institutions including biennales.”
——Biljana Ciric
After a year’s postponing and numerous challenges, the 59th Venice Biennale was eventually opened on April 23, 2022. While military conflicts and the pandemic still rage on in certain parts of the globe, how this Biennale would reflect the traces and changes of our time is of vital interest to the art world. To bring the first-hand and up-to-date information and analysis of this Biennale, we have invited a curator of this years’ Biennale to share with us her experience and insights. The tile of the lecture is self-explanatory: Turning Points: On Biennials in the Troubled Times.
The lecturer, Ms. Biljana Ciric, is an advisor and curator of the Trans-Southeast-Asia Triennial exhibitions at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts (2021- 2022).
Biljana is the curator of the Serbian Pavilion at this year’s Venice Biennale. The Serbian Pavilion is featured by works of artist Vladimir Nikolic titled “Walking with Water”. Biljana will share with us her thoughts on this experience: “Returning not so long ago from Venice Biennale where I curated Serbian Pavilion I even stronger stayed puzzled by this question as this event has real reflection of our fragmented realities”, “ some of us, we were there in Venice, drinking spritz while half of world was missing. The other half was in war near us”.
In her lecture, Biljana will also discuss further from her personal curatorial experience into the reflection on the mechanism of biennale. “I will reflect on biennale: its colonials legacy and its logic of representation, ecological and economical challenge, giving examples from the field but also its possible futures of imagining otherwise and that otherwise moving from representation towards reception”.
In the Walking with Water exhibition curated by Biljana Ciric, “the presentation underlines relations to technology and nature – in this case water as part of our body, but also water as our connection point rather the as a separation. In these waters the artist swims as he waits for the perfect image to emerge. The exhibition presents Vladimir Nikolic’s exploration over the last three years, intertwining the personal and intimate with political anxieties of uncertain futures if we don’t learn to be a different kind of human”.
