Arte Nuevo InteractivA ‘09 : Mérida Biennale


May 28, 2009 - June 30, 2009

For the fifth time, Mérida joins other art centers of the world such as Venice, Havana, New York, Paris, and Istanbul, to name a few, in hosting a "Biennale". This French and Italian word refers to any event which takes place every two years. In contemporary art, Biennale is used to describe an international exhibit. Mérida's first Biennale was in 2001, and has taken place every two years since then. From May 28 (opening was at 9 pm at Museo de la Ciudad) until the end of June, the Museo de la Ciudad was headquarters for the Mérida Biennale. The event's theme was the interactivity of art works and the public via Internet and other technologies, therefore its title of "Arte Nuevo InteractivA ‘09".

The Biennale includes a number of CRCA researchers including Micha Cardenas, Ricardo Dominguez, Eduardo Navas, Brett Stalbaum and Nina Waisman in the categories of Locative Media and Critical Conceptualism.
