Summary/Abstract: This interview with Artur Żmijewski relates to his curatorial conception for this year’s Berlin Biennale. The artist speaks about various projects, answers the charges levelled at him by critics and talks about the social policy mechanisms implicit in the curator’s work. Żmijewski’s intention was to employ an art strategy and his position as curator to attain political ends. The artist declares his “radical loyalty toward the [thus conceived] Biennale concept”, which dictated the exclusion of certain works from the review.
