Summary/Abstract: During the first decade after 1989, the phenomenonof the Romanian contemporary art internationalization may befollowed especially by its participations in the Contemporary ArtBiennale from Venice. The five exhibitions in the Romanian Pavilionfrom Giardini between 1990 and 2000 show a pretty slow route ofofficial policy changes related to the promotion of Romanian artabroad. The exhibitions of the 1990, 1993 and 1995 editions are stillanchored in the tradition of artistic paradigms before 1989, promotinglate modernists discourses of some artists mainly active in the 60s and70s. An orientation towards more experimental approaches shall occurwith the edition from 1997, while the 1999 exhibition, by its strongconceptual component, aligns the Romanian Pavilion along thetendencies of the western art of that moment.
