In the summer of 2014, Moscow will host the International Biennale for Young Art for the fourth time. This year, Artistic Director of the Biennale is David Elliott, who proposed the motto 'A Time for Dreams' as the general biennale theme, and selected works for the Main Project.

The Biennale programme includes several Strategic Projects that will be on view at three exhibition venues. These are the exhibition halls of the Biennale organisers – National Centre for Contemporary Arts (NCCA) and Moscow Museum of Modern Art (MMOMA), as well as a new spot on the Moscow map of contemporary art – Tsvetnoy Central Market. Seven Strategic Projects were selected by the curatorial group of the Biennale out of 67 applications received for the international competition of curatorial projects.
