Before the first OFF-Biennale Budapest

OFF-Biennale Budapest is a series of exhibitions and art events in and beyond the city of Budapest. Its concept is different from traditional biennials as we know them. Not affiliated with any institution, it is a voluntary collaborative initiative of artists, groups of artists, curators, art managers, gallerists and collectors. OFF-Biennale Budapest is a civil initiative, whose aim is to bring a segment of culture, contemporary art, closer to the public at large. OFF proclaims the importance of independent thinking and action, breaking away from clichés and habitual routines. It is meant to demonstrate that contemporary art can foster and catalyse this kind of
activity – in other words, that contemporary art is much more than mere luxury and a source
of aesthetic pleasure.

Before the first OFF-Biennale Budapest
Tereza Stejskalová is one of the most prominent feminist and critical voices on the Czech art scene. At present, she works as a curator in the initiative tranzit.cz and in the long term focuses on art critique.
As a curator, Stejskalová often works through postcolonial and feministic prism and her curatorial practice is typically an outcome of a long term research.
