The international curatorial team consists of Galit Eilat, Nuria Enguita Mayo, Pablo Lafuente and Oren Sagiv, and is headed by Charles Esche, director of the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. They focused on art in its current context instead of the narrative of art from the past to the present, so typical of museums.
A biennial has to reflect the urgency of the moment. The solutions have to be spontaneous and temporary, have to be thought out on the spot, rather than planned with curatorial genius,
said Esche in an interview for studiointernational.com. With such a context in mind, works by Polish artists were included in the biennial collection.
