This talk will focus on current trends within ‘Biennials’ which have now become a crucial component in our contemporary art system. The Biennial itself has been developed as a stage for independent curators that allow them the means and the space to explore their curatorial practice in ways that would have otherwise not existed. In this way the Biennial opens up the perspective on how we view and experience curating.
For 2014 Gwangju Biennale the TCAC is pleased to invite associate curators Fatos Üstek and Emiliano Valdés who will present their own curatorial practices as well as discuss the current contexts and concerns surrounding the Biennial as a contemporary curatorial space.
