> FRAME OF BUCHAREST BIENNALE)http://blogs.pavilionmagazine.org
> WHAT`S BREAKFAST
> The breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast means
> reading the newspapers. What if we could get not just mere information
> but also reactions to those events, could we react ourselves and would
> we have the opportunity to find new means of interference-different to
> the usual ones?
> BREAKFAST seeks to transcend the traditional borders between research,
> education and presentation and looks for new ways of expression and
> communication trying to find new answers to some old questions related
> to politics, aesthetics and content and to reevaluate the conventions
> of everyday life.
> Considering all these, BREAKFAST investigates subjects like rhetoric,
> populism, technology, humanism, politics, relativism, solidarity, post
> colonialism or inclusion by means of curatorial, artistic and
> educational projects.
> BREAKFAST is a platform of debates on contemporary issues that
> involves proposals, debates, analyses of the contemporary art scene
> and the international context in which it operates, almost like
> analytic-(re)productive foucaultian dublet.
> The project encourages communication, consulting and different forms
> of collaboration between artists, curators and theoreticians involved
> in this process by exchanging knowledge and practices about the
> production of knowledge.
> INSTRUMENTS
> BREAKFAST (online) is a series of blogs kept by theoreticians,
> political analysts, anthropologists, artists and curators. BREAKFAST
