Bidoun, Diaspora, 2012
Since 2004, Bidoun has filled a gaping hole in the arts and culture coverage of the Middle East, pioneering a distinctive voice that is intelligent, critical, and original. From the beginning, Bidoun has served as a platform — for new questions, images, and ideas about the Middle East. Bidoun’s activities fall in three primary areas: publishing, educational, and curatorial. To date, our projects have included a range of pursuits: curatorial initiatives, educational programs, artist commissions, talks, tours, performances, books, an itinerant library, and an online archive of avant-garde media.
Concreta surge de un deseo compartido y de una carencia: el deseo de construir una plataforma desde la que contribuir a la reflexión contemporánea sobre la imagen, a través de la publicación de una revista semestral y de una serie de libros de artista; y de hacerlo desde un lugar preciso, una comunidad marcada durante los últimos quince años por la desaparición sistemática de la infraestructura cultural dedicada a las artes plásticas y visuales. Esta situación local de crisis cultural se suma a la actual situación de colapso global del capitalismo financiero, que apunta hacia un cambio de paradigma en muchos aspectos, no solo a un nivel macroeconómico sino también, y sobre todo, micropolítico, anunciando un oscuro futuro para la cultura y las artes.
