*III Moscow International Biennale For Young Art*
/Under A Tinsel Sun/ is the title of the /III Moscow International 
Biennale For Young Art/, which will be presented to the public from July 
2012. The organizers are the Ministry of Culture of the Russian 
Federation, the Department of Culture of the City of Moscow, the 
National Centre for Contemporary Art (NCCA), Moscow, and the Moscow 
Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA), in collaboration with Neuer Berliner 
Kunstverein (n.b.k.). Its chief curator is Kathrin Becker.

The Biennale includes a Strategic project, curated by Elena Selina, a 
selection of artists’ fanzines, selected by Viktor Neumann, as well as a 
number of parallel programs in various locations in Moscow. For the 
first time, the Biennale features an Educational program that includes 
workshops with international artists, round table discussions, lectures, 
and screenings.**The Biennale is accompanied by an extensive bilingual 
publication.

*Main project / Under A Tinsel Sun*
The /III Moscow International Biennale For Young Art/, as its 
forerunners, focuses on a young generation of artists aged up to 35 
years. Titled /Under A Tinsel Sun/ and laid out as a multimedia project, 
it portrays the heterogeneity of subjects, languages and styles, which 
are so urgent in this generation, and at the same time looks into the 
content-related positioning of these artists born between the mid-1970s 
and the mid-1980s, as well as into the conditions for their development 
in terms of content. /Under A Tinsel Sun/ assumes that, despite the 
cultural, economic and social differences that may exist between the 
participants from different countries, there is a common factor in the 
impossibility of locating oneself by belonging to certain peer groups 
(whether in the ideological or in the artistic sense). With the absence 
of a “we”, the self-positioning of the individual becomes the pressing 
imperative of the present especially when being aware that “reality” as 
such is constructed, subjective and fragmented. This realization becomes 
the drive for the artists’ self-positioning and for their production of 
works that no longer describe an “objective” reality but catalyze a 
multidimensional and alternative perception of the world. With this 
being the focus, /Under A Tinsel Sun /explores the works of a young 
generation of artists and presents drawing, painting, photography, 
video, performance, mixed media, installation and sound art. The 
exhibition project promotes the critical examination of the conditions 
for artistic production today.

The Biennale’s**Educational program aims to encourage an intensive 
dialogue between artists, scholars, students, curators, critics and the 
general public in order to allow a discursive involvement towards 
artistic, theoretical and curatorial approaches. The different formats 
of the educational program aim to examine the heterogeneous approaches 
and deconstructions of an “objective” reality as it is apparent in the 
artistic productions of a young generation of artists. The Educational 
program includes the following international participants: Bridget 
Baker, Ekaterina Degot, Julia Draganovic, Christopher Eamon, Shahram 
Entekhabi, Niklas Goldbach, Kathy Rae Huffman, Adrienne Goehler, Rémy 
Markowitsch, Alexei Maslyaev, Melentie Pandilovski, Olga Shishko, Aneta 
Szylak, Dmitry Vilensky, and Thomas Werner.
