Book excerpt: The intention of the International 06 exhibition, as with its predecessors, is to recognise the specific cultural context in which it is shown: Liverpool is unique in its people, history and built environment, and yet it is also representative of many post-industrial cities.

Book excerpt: Established in 1998, the Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art is one of the world’s largest celebrations of contemporary art, involving eight major art spaces packed with over 500,000 visitors. Made Up! celebrates 10 years of commissioning ambitious and challenging new work in public projects, as well as the exhibition’s broad-ranging exploration of “making things up”—dystopias, utopias, narrative fiction, fantasy, myths, lies, subversions, and spectacle—in order to better inform the viewer of art’s capacity to transport us and generate alternative realities. Instead of a traditional catalog, Made Up! instead features ten essays exploring imaginative themes and articulating artists’ installations though full-color images and extensive illustration.

This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biennials: The Exhibitions we Love to Hate examines one of the most significant recent transitions in the contemporary art world: the proliferation of large-scale international recurrent survey shows of contemporary art, commonly referred to as contemporary biennials. Since the mid-1980s biennials have been instrumental in shaping curating as an autonomous practice. These exhibitions are also said to have provided increased visibility for certain types of new art practices, notably those that are socially and politically committed, research-based and site-specific, and to have undermined some of the more traditional art media, such as painting, drawing or sculpture. They have been responsible for substantially reshaping the contemporary art world and disrupting the existing value chain of the art market, which now relies on biennials as much as it does on major museums' acquisitions and exhibitions. Rafal Niemojewski, Director of the Biennial Foundation, deftly unpicks the critical discussion and controversy surrounding contemporary biennials. Branded by some critics as showcases of neo-liberalism run amok, in which culture has become synonymous with the dollar-generating leisure industry, biennials have also been associated with the production of monumental artworks which are both highly consumable and photogenic (Instagrammable). The exhibitions we love to hate? This engaging publication makes an essential contribution to a fascinating cultural debate.

Download or read book The Politics of Contemporary Art Biennials written by Panos Kompatsiaris and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary art biennials are sites of prestige, innovation and experimentation, where the category of art is meant to be in perpetual motion, rearranged and redefined, opening itself to the world and its contradictions. They are sites of a seemingly peaceful cohabitation between the elitist and the popular, where the likes of Jeff Koons encounter the likes of Guy Debord, where Angela Davis and Frantz Fanon share the same ground with neoliberal cultural policy makers and creative entrepreneurs. Building on the legacy of events that conjoin art, critical theory and counterculture, from Nova Convention to documenta X, the new biennial blends the modalities of protest with a neoliberal politics of creativity. This book examines a strained period for these high art institutions, a period when their politics are brought into question and often boycotted in the context of austerity, crisis and the rise of Occupy cultures. Using the 3rd Athens Biennale and the 7th Berlin Biennale as its main case studies, it looks at how the in-built tensions between the domains of art and politics take shape when spectacular displays attempt to operate as immediate activist sites. Drawing on ethnographic research and contemporary cultural theory, this book argues that biennials both denunciate the aesthetic as bourgeois category and simultaneously replicate and diffuse an exclusive sociability across social landscapes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the phenomenally successful new Tate Modern to the Dia:Beacon and Liverpool Biennial, contemporary visual art seems more than ever enmeshed in prominent public institutions and new forms of patronage, whether public commissions or corporate sponsorships. InArt, Money, Parties,renowned figures from the art world—including artists, dealers, and gallery owners—join scholars to consider these new institutional faces of contemporary art, their influence on art and artists, and how they affect the future of art. The essays in this collection, which originated at a conference organized by Tate Liverpool and the University of Liverpool, offer frequently contentious positions on the role of new institutions and patronage in the world of contemporary art. For example, while Liverpool Biennial director Lewis Biggs delivers a fairly optimistic assessment of the state of contemporary art, scholar Paul Usherwood unleashes a scathing critique of recent public art commissions. From opposing perspectives, gallery owner Sadie Coles reviews the history of her own involvement in the art world during the 1990s, and artist Stewart Home offers a sharply contrasting view of the value of the art produced in that decade. Rather than an attempt to craft a consensus, though, Art, Money, Parties is instead an effort to map out the position of—and possibilities for—contemporary art in a period of growing public sponsorship and attention. The vibrant, growing interest in contemporary art—evidenced by the success of the institutions under consideration—makesArt, Money, Partiesa timely and indispensable contribution to any debate on the present and future of art.

Download or read book Beautiful World Where Are You written by Sinead McCarthy and published by Art / Books. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accompanying publication for the 10th edition of the Liverpool Biennial. This book accompanies the 10th edition of Liverpool Biennial 2018. The artistic concept and title for this year's edition, 'Beautiful world, where are you?', derives from a 1788 poem by the German poet Friedrich Schiller, later set to music by Austrian composer Franz Schubert in 1819. The years between the composition of Schiller's poem and Schubert's song saw great upheaval and profound change in Europe, from the French Revolution to the fall of the Napoleonic Empire. Today the poem continues to suggest a world gripped by deep uncertainty; a world of social, political and environmental turmoil. It can be seen as a lament, but also as an invitation to reconsider our past, advancing a new sense of beauty that might be shared in a more equitable way. The book includes a selection of texts and contributions from artists, curators, writers, thinkers, scientists and sociologists who will be invited to respond creatively to the Biennial's title. As well as being published in the event of the Biennial, it will also function as a standalone publication giving a snapshot of a particular moment in time.
