"Contemporary Art Biennials in Europe examines five urban situations in diverse parts of Europe. Roughly tracing a central horizontal strip from the western to the eastern edges of the continent, the events and cities covered are the Folkestone Triennial, UK, Münster Sculpture Projects, Germany, the Venice Biennale, Italy, Belgrade's Mikser Festival, Serbia and the Istanbul Biennial, Turkey. Whybrow establishes how public artworks operate in these contexts as part of a complex prescribed by the format of the biennial event. This means drawing out the extent to which biennial events seek to engage with the complexity of the city in question, in a manner that takes into account local socio-cultural ecologies, while also positioning the event itself within a globalist art world perspective. The book also considers how sited installations - which are very varied in form, as a reflection of a new, eclectic urban aesthetic - tell a particular story of a city, while the regional diversity of these selected cities and events in turn tells a composite story of European difference at a moment of high tension, centring on matters of migration, political populism and uncertainty around the future form of the European Union"--

"En 1959, la première Biennale internationale des jeunes artistes ouvre ses portes au musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, rejoignant le cercle alors très restreint des grandes manifestations internationales spécialisées en art contemporain. Son ambition était de renforcer la place de la capitale française sur la scène artistique mondiale. Confrontée à maintes difficultés dès sa fondation, cette institution, dont l'organisation et le fonctionnement ne cessèrent de se transformer en vingt-six années d'existence, a néanmoins réussi à donner à voir l'art en train de se faire, à une époque où la guerre froide et de nombreux régimes dictatoriaux limitaient la circulation des gens, des œuvres et des idées. Fruit d'un programme de recherche initié à l'Institut national d'histoire de l'art en 2017 ayant réuni une trentenaire de chercheurs, cette somme inédite propose pour la première fois une réflexion globale et historique internationale et transversale sur la Biennale de Paris, ses espaces, ses engagements, ses paradoxes et ses impasses." --

La réflexion sur les expositions s'est étendue à de multiples champs disciplinaires au cours des dernières années : muséologie, esthétique, sciences politiques, histoire culturelle, sociologie, économie... Une première journée d'étude sur des questions de définition et de descriptions possibles de l'exposition avait permis de montrer une grande diversité d'approches. Le colloque " Histoire(s) d'exposition(s) " de février 2014, dont nous publions ici les actes, a mis en évidence plusieurs types de lecture, sous les angles historique, économique, politique, esthétique avec des approches comparatives à l'échelle internationale

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.
