The Emergency Biennale in Chechnya was conceived and organized in 2005 as an echo to the 1st Moscow Biennial and as a reaction to the destruction of a people and culture. Drawing attention to the plight of Chechnya and more broadly to human and social emergencies in the context of "ambivalent globalization" while also questioning the phenomenon and proliferation of international biennials, The Emergency Biennale in Chechnya opened on February 23, 2005, in different clandestine locations in the city of Grozny and simultaneously in Paris, at the Palais de Tokyo. More than 60 international artists, established and emerging, provided one artwork and its duplicate—created to fit into suitcases—which have been shipped to different cities in the world for mirror exhibitions. After Paris, the touring part of the exhibition moved on to Brussels, Bolzano, Milan, Riga, Tallinn, Vancouver, Puebla, Istanbul, and now to San Francisco. This is the first presentation of the exhibition in the United States.
