URAL INDUSTRIAL BIENNAL OF CONTEMPORARY ART

The exhibition revolves around three guiding metaphors which are ‘Image as witness / Capitalism choreographies / Persistent word’.

The fourth industrial revolution of information and communication technologies has transformed the way we live, work, dream, and play. How might the visual and bodily practices of contemporary artistic production form the basis for understanding the speeds, languages, and interfaces of this transformation? Employing the exhibition as a tool for visual, experiential, and discursive investigation, the 4th Ural Industrial Biennial will be organized around a series of convergent themes and will propose forms of critical literacy toward understanding the future of our network-driven conditions.
