cei venice forum for contemporary art curators

The CEI Venice Forum for Contemporary Art Curators is a biennial event, to be held in close connection with the Venice Biennale opening, that deals with the topics of cultural promotion and the exchange of curatorial experiences. The initiative is opened to Central Eastern European experts and curators and to the commissioners of the Venice Biennale responsible for the national pavilions of the CEE countries.
The event is carried out by the Trieste Contemporanea Committee under the auspices of the CEI-Central European Initiative, which, after the experimental edition of 2001, adopted in 2003 the Venice Forum as one of its Feature Cultural Events.
The Forum is an activity of the international network Continental Breakfast that fosters the creation of partnership projects and multidimensional capacity building exchange programmes in the field of contemporary art in CEE.
Forum’s editions have been made possible in Venice thanks to the collaboration offered by the UNESCO Office in Venice-Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe (BRESCE), the Ca’ Rezzonico-Museum of 18th century Venice / Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia and the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice.
