The 4th Mediations Biennale: When Nowhere Becomes Here 4th Mediations Biennale titled When Nowhere Becomes Here undertakes a challenge posed nowadays for art by the post-global reality. It aims to go deeper into areas placed between virtual images of our imaginations and making space for possibilities for their observation and analysis. The three exhibitions in the main programme: Berlin Heist, Shifting Africa and The Limits of Globalisation, and a number of events in the accompanying programme of this year’s Mediations Biennale are not linked with each other apart from their location in Poznan. Multiculturalism, diversity, and even the variety of attitudes are a symptom of postglobal order. The simultaneity of everything decentralizes idea of value. At the same time, in 14 locations in the world there are exhibitions happening under a common umbrella term of post-global mediations. Each of those distant places for its residents is “here,” and for the stranger “nowhere.” Mediations Biennale is both an initiator and a participant in a dialogue. Towards the end of the 4th Mediations Biennale, during an international conference titled “Post-global Future” (25–27 October), all of our partners shall present different perspectives of upcoming, post-global future. In the spaces created by the curators of 4th Mediations Biennale’s exhibitions, all “nowheres” shall meet. The art will disclose a series of new artistic strategies; used as individual research tools by nomadic artists, who draw their inspirations from both local and global experiences. e-flux/announcements/when-nowhere-becomes-here/
