GIBCA 2015. Goteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art

After seven editions, Goteborg International Biennial has become established as one of the biggest art events in Sweden and the Nordic countries, and is aimed at a broader and global context. Proof of this is the designation of a curator of Spanish/Equatorial Guinean nationality, Elvira Dyangani, as curator of this eighth edition.
 
Entitled A Story Within a Story, the biennial sets out to explore the concept of history as an open process and a collaborative experience. With this aim in mind, in collaboration with the Swedish public art agency (PAAS), Goteborg biennial has invited the Spaniard Santiago Cirugeda to develop a concept and methodology for a hybrid space that is managed by users and generates public meetings based on the concept of meeting and storytelling. The idea and form of this pavilion are a reference to the traditional ‘House of Words’ present in many African societies. 
 
Another Spaniard, Inmaculada Salinas, is presenting her work Microrelatos en rojo (Microstories in red), a family album that is a powerful testament to frozen moments, stories and realities; an attempt to reveal what should normally remain concealed.
