Just Another Exhibition - Stories and Politics of Biennials

Federica Martini, Vittoria Martini

In the last twenty years the “Biennale” has become a prominent exhibition model, disseminated all over the globalized art system. A laboratory for curatorial experimentation, the Biennale has come to affect and make visible international exhibition practices. Just another exhibition - Stories and Politics of Biennials aims at framing perennial shows within the history of exhibitions in order to observe the ongoing transformation of curatorial practices in recent times. Conversations with Thomas Hirschhorn, Alfredo Jaar, Stéphanie Moisdon, and Antoni Muntadas focus on the questions brought about by each chapter, and open up to different ways of thinking about national representation, history-making and conceptualization of biennials’ exhibition formats in contemporary art.
