Bangkok Biennial 2020-21 Main Site
A pavilion curated by Anne Murray.

​Cloud 9 Pavilion Part 1
​

​The expression 'you are on Cloud 9' has been used to imply the incredible state of happiness of new love, while also implying 'you have your head in the clouds' meaning you are living in an impossible 
world positivity. Here artists use their critical vision, imagination, and curiosity to strive for something unimaginable and to shed new light on past, present, and future realities related to love, politics, and society.

Coming soon: Bangkok Biennial Cloud 9 Pavilion Part 2: Murmurations


Now: Ekphrastic Fantastic: OPEN CALL

OPEN CALL for poetry: All languages accepted. They must be ekphrastic, which means the poems connect with a specific art work from Cloud 9 Pavilion. http://cloud9pavilion.weebly.com

This is part of the upcoming Versopolis Festival of Hope Part 2

Official song for the Cloud 9 Pavilion Bangkok Biennial by Hamza Bourezg
Algerian composer and musician Hamza Bourezg lives and works in Laghouat, Algeria. Laghouat is at the edge of the Saharan Atlas Mountain range and the Sahara Desert: an oasis.
Bourezg has performed in many places in Algeria including several times as an invited artist at the Raconte Arts Festival in the high mountains of Kabylie.
He wrote this piece inspired by clouds and the artists in the pavilion. His finger work reflects the subtle movement of the clouds, the embrace of air, light, and water that form a continuum in the sky, at once a cloud, then a mist, and rain again.

Postcards from Cloud 9, Inaugural Poem by Holly Crawford​

Holly Crawford ยท Postcards From the Cloud, 2020
a fuzzy patch, a starting
 a point, one and more
contextually cloud-hopping above 
soaring, renewing shifting
becoming, in the afternoon
becoming cloud-seeders, 
man, woman, human
 and animal muses, solace
through postmodern lens
structured, fractured and more,
a starting point slightly irregular,
fragile, and new
a possible troubled landscape, a 
cyborg picnic, welcoming
contradictions, a starting point
cutting time, surprising me but
but the words hurt
becoming, becoming more
white chalk and black paper
unlearn, dematerialize
navigate, histories erased
memories, the voices of the sea
is/are about hard
 to keep up perhaps, harsh leftovers
fractured schemes and questions,
surprise me, merging 
layers of translucent cuts
white, intense, fragile, nouvelle en place
folded diagonally, a geometry 
 of broken hearts
soaring into misty morning 
skies becoming open, 
a postcard, I imagine you
 reading this in the afternoon
a starting point

--Holly Crawford, 10/11/2020
