Biennalist
Biennalist is an Art Format by Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel commenting on Biennales and other cultural managed events while they happen . Often those events promote them selves with thematics and press releases faking their aim . Biennalist take the thematics of the Biennales very seriously , and test them on location . Often Biennalist converge with Emergency Room artists providing a burning content that cannot wait (today is today, today before it is too late ) . Biennalist can also activate the Penetration format , the Critical Run format as well as Rumeur art format , the fight debate format , the slow dance format etc ...
