9th Biennial of Moving Images - Geneve

[Claudia Westermann]

9th Biennial of Moving Images

Centre for contemporary Images - Geneve

November 2nd-10th 2001

This 9th edition revolves around the central theme of art and sound, more 
precisely art and music. During ten intense days at the Centre for 
contemporary Images (November 2-10), more than 400 hours of videos and 
films will be screened, among which an international competition of recent 
videos and films; performances, concerts and many meetings with the artists 
present at the workshop will also be proposed to the public. An important 
catalogue (180 pages, French/English) will be published, with up-to-date 
information about all the artists invited and many new texts by young Swiss 
art writers.

The noticeable news of this 9th Biennial will be the VideoLoft (a space 
designed by Swiss designers, allowing the public to view video tapes «à la 
carte»), and the artists’ space by German group of artists Saas Fee (1st 
floor of the Centre for contemporary images), and above all a very 
important exhibition of video and sound installations at the Mamco, with 16 
international artists.

One last word about three concert nights organised by attitudes, and the 
very rich program of several Geneva galleries and art centres, all related 
to the Biennial.
