Samenvatting

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 Méditerranée in Alexandria, Egypt in 1955, the second Havana Biennial of 1986, New York 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
