MJ 1 The Revenge of the White Cube explores how curatorial strategies in the 1980s and 1990s turned against the white cube, trying to relate the works, projects and exhibitions to actual time and space and to the social and political realities. The "white cube" was considered to be out of time and space, an ideal, a sterile, utopian place for no less sterile autonomous art. Several recent exhibitions and other events indicate a different understanding of the "white cube" and a new importance of white cube strategies for curatorial work today. With contributions by: Beti Zerovc, Boris Groys, Hedwing Fijen, Art & Language, Bart De Baere, Iara Boubnova, Branislav Dimitrijeviæ, Charles Esche, WHW, Viktor Misiano and Igor Zabel.
MJ 2 Biennials reflects upon the complex role of biennials of contemporary art and other big art events in a globalised society. The extraordinary, global expansion of the number of such events, not only in big centre, but also in smaller cities and sometimes in transitional situations has been both criticized as hypertrophied and praised as a way of decentralizing art system and connecting it to a wider global audience. With contributions by: Okwui Enwezor, Pablo Helguera, Thomas Wulffen, Slavoj Zizek, Rosa Martinez, Francesco Bonami, Carlos Basualdo, Luchezar Boyadjiev, Vasif Kortun & Serkan Ozkaya, Lev Evzovich, Michele Robecchi, Isabel Carlos and Edi Muka.
MJ 3 Exhibition as a Dream discusses the concept of dreams as it appears in recent curatorial work, and points at the issue of the role of the curator's unconscious. Moreover, it covers how dreams have been connected to art and have become one of the major cultural paradigms of the last century on the personal and social level, in relation to the concept of 'utopias'. With contributions by: Viktor Mazin, Valery Podoroga, Udo Kittelmann, Robert Fleck, Nicolas Bourriaud, Luca Cerizza, Raimundas Malasauskas, Giacinto di Pietrantonio, D.A.E., Alia Rayyan, Maria Hlavajova, Kathrin Rhomberg, Gregor Jansen, Victor Pal
