ARTISHOK BIENNALE is an experimental exhibition format that combines art and art writing. Each biennale features 10 artists or groups and 10 art and culture critics. Each biennale features 10 artists or groups and 10 art and culture critics. The biennial consists of ten opening days, on each one new artwork and ten different written critical approaches to the same work is presented. In total: a hundred perspectives on ten pieces.
The first AB took place in 2008. Since then, for each biennale the previous curators choose a successor, who in return chooses artists and writers. Writers and artists will then participate in the preparatory meetings, discussions and studio visits. Texts are written based on these communications, ahead of the public presentation of artwork, and can vary in format from academic writings to poetic text-deconstructions. Correspondingly to the vision of each curator, AB has taken place in various locations in Tallinn, Tartu, and Riga, the core format and the opening-marathon have been supplemented with discussion groups and publications.
AB sprung from art and criticism blog Artishok, a self-initiated informal collective active between 2006 and 2018. There is no centralized organizational body for Artishok Biennale, with the help of previous curators each curator creates their own venue.
