Edited by Ute Meta Bauer and Hou Hanru, co-directors of the World Biennial Forum N°1—Shifting Gravity, this publication collects the presentations and discussions developed during the forum. Keynotes by eminent intellectuals Wang Hui, Nikos Papastergiadis, and Chantal Mouffe on democracy, aesthetic representation, and cosmopolitanism help us conceive of biennials as an alternative space of political imagination. Biennial case studies with a focus on Asia examine innovative and contextually relevant models of biennials in the Asia Pacific region. René Block, as the guest of honor, looks back to the history of biennials, while Hans Ulrich Obrist's interview with South Korean artists JEON Joonho and MOON Kyungwon investigates contemporary art's relationship with other disciplines.' - from back cover
Includes profiles of participating biennials and biographies of contributors.
