Biennials, Triennials, and Documenta: The Exhibitions that Created Contemporary Art
This innovative new history examines in-depth how the growing popularity of large-scale international survey exhibitions, or 'biennials', has influenced global contemporary art since the 1950s.
- Provides a comprehensive global history of biennialization from the rise of the European star-curator in the 1970s to the emergence of mega-exhibitions in Asia in the 1990s
- Introduces a global array of case studies to illustrate the trajectory of biennials and their growing influence on artistic expression, from the Biennale de la MÃ©diterranÃ©e in Alexandria, Egypt in 1955, the second Havana Biennial of 1986, New Yorkâ€™s Whitney Biennial in 1993, and the 2002 Documenta11 in Kassel, to the Gwangju Biennale of 2014
- Explores the evolving curatorial approaches to biennials, including analysis of the roles of sponsors, philanthropists and biennial directors and their re-shaping of the contemporary art scene
- Uses the history of biennials as a means of illustrating and inciting further discussions of globalization in contemporary art
