00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.170 align:middle line:84%
Biennialisation is a
difficult word to say,

00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:23.750 align:middle line:84%
and it comes from
biennial or biennale,

00:00:23.750 --> 00:00:27.740 align:middle line:84%
which is Italian for
biennial, and which

00:00:27.740 --> 00:00:30.980 align:middle line:84%
is a term that indicates a
recurrent international and

00:00:30.980 --> 00:00:34.920 align:middle line:84%
independent exhibition,
generally in visual art.

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:37.940 align:middle line:84%
Although, now there are
biennials in other genres.

00:00:37.940 --> 00:00:39.800 align:middle line:84%
So when we say by
biennialisation,

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:44.150 align:middle line:84%
we mean that this model,
this kind of exhibition

00:00:44.150 --> 00:00:47.780 align:middle line:84%
is being replicated
in different contexts

00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:52.590 align:middle line:84%
mainly in different
territorial context,

00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:56.300 align:middle line:84%
so not just in Europe where
it was born with the Venice

00:00:56.300 --> 00:01:02.930 align:middle line:84%
biennial, but also in other
continents and everywhere.

00:01:02.930 --> 00:01:07.230 align:middle line:84%
And it is also replicated
across art genres.

00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:11.090 align:middle line:84%
The biennial originally
was art, only visual arts.

00:01:11.090 --> 00:01:13.580 align:middle line:84%
And then now there
are other types

00:01:13.580 --> 00:01:17.090 align:middle line:84%
of biennials in
other types of art.

00:01:17.090 --> 00:01:19.370 align:middle line:90%
So it's the spread of a format.

00:01:19.370 --> 00:01:21.470 align:middle line:90%
But that becomes much more.

00:01:21.470 --> 00:01:24.620 align:middle line:84%
It's also the fact
that more and more

00:01:24.620 --> 00:01:28.160 align:middle line:84%
what happens in visual art,
the cutting edge of visual art,

00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:33.070 align:middle line:84%
the trends is established
through biennials.

00:01:33.070 --> 00:01:37.610 align:middle line:84%
So they are where the
rationale for visual art

00:01:37.610 --> 00:01:43.640 align:middle line:84%
is being, in a way, created
and diffused to a great extent,

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.670 align:middle line:84%
not totally, but they
are really important hubs

00:01:46.670 --> 00:01:49.730 align:middle line:90%
of contemporary visual art.

00:01:49.730 --> 00:01:52.540 align:middle line:90%
And that wasn't the case before.

00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:55.430 align:middle line:84%
It's definitely the
case, especially

00:01:55.430 --> 00:01:59.610 align:middle line:84%
since the late 20th century and
especially in the 21st century.

00:01:59.610 --> 00:02:01.640 align:middle line:84%
So in that sense,
it's a process,

00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.900 align:middle line:90%
and that's why biennialisation.

00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:08.256 align:middle line:90%
