Art Encounters Biennial: My Rhino is Not a Myth. art science fictions

The fifth edition of the Art Encounters Biennial - My Rhino Is Not a Myth. art science fictions - will take place between May 19 – July 16, 2023, and is dedicated to the intersection of art, science and fictions.

Adrian Notz, curator of the Biennale, makes connections between hyper-digital realities, the modernist avant-garde and the world of contemporary art.

Adrian Notz is joined by a young team of curators and writers – Cristina Bută, Monica Dănilă, Edith Lázár, Ann Mbuti, Cristina Stoenescu and Georgia Țidorescu – as members of the advisory curatorial collective. Between scientific explorations and imaginative speculations, guest artists delve into unknown stories, anticipating alternative histories. Situated between scientific research and imaginative speculation, the Biennial addresses stories of the unknown and the desire for change, adaptation or subversion.

15 exhibition spaces become meeting points for people, ideas, cultures and communities. On the occasion of the 2023 Art Encounters Biennal, contemporary art will penetrate new spaces of the city, from Huniade Castle or STPT Multiplexity to ISHO Offices.

A total of 23 spaces in Timișoara, including exhibition spaces, complementary platform spaces, as well as spaces dedicated to events will be activated during 8 weeks through guided tours, the mediation program, art laboratories and conferences that the Art Encounters Foundation prepared together with partners.
