> BREAKFAST AT PAVILION(A PROJECT INITIATED BY PAVILION MAGAZINE IN THE 
> 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 
> online series explores on a theoretical level the political and social
