The Quadrilateral Biennial was initiated in 2005 focusing on contemporary art practices in the neighboring region of Croatia, Italy, Hungary and Slovenia. First BQ considered relativism, the second crisis of cultural heroes, and the third angles and intersection of media art. In its 4th edition, the Biennial embraced the challenge of exploring the open-ending and nomadic character of contemporary art, beyond regional and national boundaries, thus reviewing its regional focus in the broader, multilateral framework.
Out of Left Field
The title of the exhibition invokes a foreign US English idiom, that stems from baseball and means suddenly; from an unexpected source or direction. In the same manner, the curatorial concept for this Biennial seeks to evoke this element of surprise but also to allude to political and ideological spheres.
