The future of the biennial: Experimental places to reinvent political space?
How can biennials become experimental 'sites' to rethink the relationship between art and politics, without lending themselves too easily to the confines of the contemporary art market and neoliberal political geography? While biennials are often criticized for subjecting themselves to urban/ regional marketing strategies, they are also defended as valuable places for the formation of new alliances among art scenes of the 'periphery', that are today steadily changing the global art map. How does this development affect the possibility of contemporary art to reflect and influence local politics?
Seismopolite issue 6 includes texts by Belinda Grace Gardner, Rafal Niemojewski, Atsuhide Ito, Federica Martini, Emily Putnam, Gitanjali Dang & Christoph Schenker, Jeanine Griffin & Jan Verwoert, Marie Egger, Kathryn Floyd, Zoe Charaktinou & Alkisti Efthymiou and Natalia Echeverri.
