Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Artistic Director of the 2008 Biennale of Sydney, Revolutions – Forms That Turn, explores the “biennale syndrome” which seems to have taken over the art world in the last fifteen years. Why are biennales so attractive? And to whom ? Why are they also so unattractive for some audiences?

Christov-Bakargiev will look at the rise of biennales, how they have decentralized art and created multiple art systems while at the same time allowing for new possibilities of disempowerment.


When: October 9, 6.30
