11th Bienal de La Habana Subject: Artistic Practices and Social Imaginaries Director: Jorge Antonio Fernández Torres The 2012 edition, under the theme "Artistic Practices and Social Imaginaries", brought together more than 115 artists from 43 countries, with contemporary art representatives from Mexico, Guatemala, Spain, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Nicaragua and Panama, among others. In this edition the main interest was to reflect on the basis on which social networks are constituted and become a space for socialization where information is shared and contents are generated. It was essential to foster dialogues between insiders and outsiders, to work with live art and to permanently involve the spectator. The Cuban context and public spaces would become a temporary laboratory for artistic experimentation. 12th Bienal de La Habana Subject: Between the idea and the experience Director: Jorge Antonio Fernández Torres For the 12th edition, held between May 22 and June 22, 2015, the theme "Between Idea and Experience" was proposed as a journey through the history of the biennial itself. It aspired to settle in those interstices of the city that would facilitate the work on the aforementioned assumptions. These ideas broadened the dissimilar views on the role and functions of curatorship in the different scenarios, on the relevance or not of a theme presiding over the dynamics of the work itself and the environment in which it is produced, or on the intervention generated by each creative process according to the place and the situation for which they were conceived. Large-scale and popular outdoor events were organized, such as "Zona Franca", located in La Cabaña, and "Detrás del muro", which took over Havana's seafront. In addition, there was a collateral exhibition that included more than a hundred interventions throughout the city and about 50 open studios, a modality that allowed artists to share their creative space, perhaps escaping a strict curatorship, and the audience to participate in that art.
