The Biennial Reader
NO / EN
NOK 500,00
This anthology on the global biennial phenomenon includes seminal republished texts collected from around the world as well as newly commisioned contributions by the leading sholars, curators, critics, and thinkers of biennals today. By tracing the genealogy of the perennial exhibition format (understood here as including not only biennals but also other recurrent exhibitions such as triennials and quinquennials) and by examining some of the most emblematic examples of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries—from the biennials in Venice and Johannesburg to those of Havana and Gwangju. and from Documenta to Manifesta—this collection reads the artistic, theoretical, political, and other ambitions of such large-scale exhibition projects against the grain of their resulting exhibitions. Poised to be a vital resource, The Biennial Reader reflects on the past, the promise, and the future of these exhibitions and argues for a nre history of art written through their analysis. In the process, this “reader” of essay explores perennial exhibitions and the global hegemonic shifts that made them possible as well as their impact on contemporary art, curating, culture, and art institutions.
