Crazycurators Biennale /the first year took place in 2006 on the premises of SPACE Gallery at Lazaretská/ is one of the smallest biennials in the world. It is a form of constructive critique of megalomaniac biennials that have been constantly arising all around the world. Thus the conception is based on a narrow selection of renowned curators actively working in the framework of gallery practice. For the biennial each of them chooses only one artist. Paradoxically they lose a chance to be curators in the right meaning of the word and curate their own exhibition in the framework of the biennial. Likewise the biennial has no ambition to adjust a selection of an artist to a given theme, extremely abstract, that is usually a part of similar events. Intentional “insubstantiality” of Crazycurators Biennale is on the other hand balanced by a misleading name of the event as well as minimal spatial and budget possibilities. Nevertheless the Crazycurators Biennale is a highly professional platform for a confrontation of the latest strategies and forms in contemporary art. Simultaneously it provides a space for a critical reflection of contemporary art that is, especially on our scene, often absent.
