ABOUT THEME IN TOUCH

Art can sometimes seem out of touch with its audience, but it can also have the power to engage and connect with people in a meaningful way. Interactive exhibitions, such as biennales, that allow active participation in art can bring it to life and foster a connection between the artist and the audience. Art can also serve as a medium for social and cultural commentary, allowing the artist to bring attention to important issues and start a conversation. When art can make a connection, it can become more than just a visual experience; it can become transformative, stirring emotions, challenging our beliefs, and helping us see the world in new ways. Getting in touch can refer to establishing a connection or having a relationship with something, whether with oneself, other people, or the world around us.

OPEN CALL

2 X 100

2 x 100 refers to the number of displayed artworks and locations during the exhibition. By having two sites, the biennale seeks to connect art and the audience by providing more opportunities for people to view and engage with the artworks. The phrase “In Touch” emphasises the importance of connection in the exhibition. The two locations of the artwork provide a better chance for this connection to happen. The title highlights the importance of connecting in contemporary art and design, which involves staying up-to-date with trends and movements, using platforms to show work and engage with others, and being open to new ideas and perspectives. The biennale aims to bring people closer to art and foster a deeper appreciation for it by featuring dual positions of artwork throughout the city.
