Complete respect was the signature theme of the "Biennale 2003" Art Exhibition of Uzbekistan. Artists from a major part of 23 countries from north to south, from east to west were represented in a variety of areas, schools and genres, obtaining an ideal mosaic of the multifaceted and universal cultures of western and eastern art. The show captured the variety of lifestyles and traditions into one meaning. "Art is understood as the teacher of life. "These kinds of displays are necessary for further clarity, for further understanding among people.
There isn't one artistic manifestation that serves the single-souled good or evil of artists and aesthetes alike. I don't envy those who had the unfortunate job of choosing and judging the presented works and creations. Obviously, it is difficult to make a rational and unified decision coming from so many different points of view and a multiplicity of contradicting opinions. The final outcome should be a positive one that is meant to serve art, to serve the universal language of art.
From a technical point of view, a more intensive and constructive jury selection process is needed, in order that the jurors are able to possess stronger cultural ties with the world, to take a greater role and have more experience in art in the world. That would better support the difficult task of organizing the show. The jury must be chosen wit ha concrete background in the world of art, in order for them to make a more educated and just decision.
There is a deeper meaning to mass communication serving as a foundation of relations between artists and art-lovers, in order to better understand the world of art.I hope that I have expressed myself to the best of my ability. All of my opinions are as an aesthete, my concepts in full.
I wish the future Biennale exhibitions further and excellent growth and development. |
