Negotiating the Future: 2017 Asian Art Biennial
Sep 30, 2017 - Feb 25, 2018
The 6th Asian Art Biennial will be grandly on view at the National Taiwan Museum
of Fine Arts on September 30th, 2017. For the first time in more than a decade,
the biennial this year is curated by a joint team of an in-house curator and
three foreign curators, a mechanism fairly distinct from its previous curatorial
practice. Treating 鈥淣egotiating the Future鈥� as the theme, the curatorial team
plans to invite around 30 artists/collectives to accomplish this great
achievement with concerted efforts.
The theme 鈥淣egotiating the Future鈥� features the momentum and limitless potential of contemporary art, as well as the possibilities for art to negotiate and strike a balance among various conflicts of power and relations. By virtue of the creations of these participating artists, this biennial also seeks to address the recent events and latent tension in Asia, thereby reflecting people鈥檚 desperate yearning for changing the society and fashioning the future through a concatenation of negotiations.
