Title Biennale is best explained directly by the curator. "Against Exclusion" means for any art for any copyright embodiment conceived. A few years ago, the one who followed the love, for example, to classical art, was to reject the modern art. Now, globalization in the sense of synthesis of the arts came in the art world. Most experienced Jean-Hubert Martin believes that the time has come "to return the exhibition the artists, so that they worked according to the dictates of his heart, but not in order to please the curator. Therefore Moscow Biennale should be a panorama of international modern art.

For the curator of the Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art boundary incredibly broad. He wants Russia to invite the viewers and critics, on the one hand, works based on deep religious beliefs, but on the other hand, a series of portraits of naked people. By the latter, the famous American artist Spencer Tunick have recently captured ten selected them naked Russians on the streets of Moscow. It is logical to assume that in the case of works Tunic there are some who would call all this pornography, and religious associations in contemporary art in Russia today, and so sore point.

Biennale commissioner Joseph Backstein believes that the revolution in the minds of citizens in relation to contemporary art has come. But perhaps this is still far away. In any case, Jean-Hubert Martin compares the current domestic situation in France, 70 of the last century, and this is worth thinking about. Nevertheless, the third call in Biennale Yet many succeeded: art by contemporary artists and the truth has become a legitimate, post-Soviet art space has acquired any common shape, and organizers practically patented its own format - not only the main program and paralllelnoy Biennale, but also large number of special projects and special guests.
