Ministers of Culture from 43 countries will meet in Poznan during the ASEM conference, to be held from the 8th to the 10th of September. The conference will be accompanied by numerous exhibitions and concerts.

The 2010 Meditations Biennale is comprised of two main exhibitions: ?Beyond Meditations?, whose curators are Tsutomu Mizusawa from Japan and Professor Ryszard W. Kluszczyński, as well as ?Erased Walls? with an accompanying programme.
The Biennale will be held on Poznan for the second time. It aims to present works of modern art focusing on the dialogue between various cultures of the world, as well as the artistic explorations of central European artists. 150 creators will present their works during the event.

?Beyond Meditations? provides an opportunity for traditional forms of artistic expression present in contemporary art (painting, sculpture, drawing) to coexist within one exhibition with the new media,? says Joanna Przygońska from the Zamek Culture Centre, which is the organiser of the Biennale.

?Erased Walls?, in turn, narrows its reflection to art created after the year 2000, putting special emphasis on young art, but without geopolitical limitations. Political divisions now often give way to other constraints connected to the power of capital, social violence, poverty zones, manipulation in the media, feelings of alienation and exclusion and many more.

The exhibition has been prepared by 10 curators. They construct their narration around the problems and history of Central Europe, distancing itself from the experience of the Round Table revolution years and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
