The main programme of the Biennale was formulated based on the results of the open submission process. Submissions were recieved for realization of both individual and collective works, as well as hosting of the curated projects. Overall, 2534 submissions were registered in the database. Of those, the artworks of more than 600 artists and art groups have been selected, which will be exhibited at the museums, galleries, centers of contemporary art and various other exhibition spaces as part of the 40 curated projects in July of 2010.

Curators of the Biennale would like to sincerely thank all the authors who submitted their work for participation. This year, the number of art projects deserving of notice exceeded the organization committee’s ability to provide exhibiting space. We hope that many of the artworks not included in the long list for “Qui Vive” in 2010 would be realized during the ”interbiennale” within the continuing exhibition cycles for young artists hosted by the Biennale organizers and their partners.
