Under the title "Biennale Cuvée" the OK presents a selection of artistic projects from the most important international biennials now for the third time. The exhibition offers visitors an insight into the international art world and an opportunity for a condensed experience of contemporary art.
Next to art fairs, today "biennials" are the most important international format for art exhibitions. Especially for cities like Taipei, Singapore, Yokohama or Gwangju, they also provide an opportunity to present themselves to a "western" international audience and to strengthen ties to the geographically remote European art scene. The OK "Biennale Cuvée" presents a selection from the most interesting biennials of 2008 with an emphasis on the Asian biennials in the selection. In addition to an exhibition in the OK itself, various locations and sites in the city of Linz will also be opened to present the most interesting projects.
Both public and private institutions operate as partners here, making their facilities available and taking part in developing the contents of the project. Specifically, these are the Upper Austrian Chamber of Labor, the Knowledge Tower, the Energie AG Upper Austria, which welcome artists from all over the world together with the OK. The public areas essentially marking the new train station quarter become locations of art.
About 40 selected artists from over 25 countries are guests in Linz with their projects.
