Description
This innovative new history examines in-depth how the growing popularity of large-scale international survey exhibitions, or 'biennials', has influenced global contemporary art since the 1950s.
Biennials, Triennials, and Documenta provides a comprehensive global history of biennialization from the rise of the European star-curator in the 1970s to the emergence of mega-exhibitions in Asia in the 1990s.
It introduces a global array of case studies to illustrate the trajectory of biennials and their growing influence on artistic expression. These include the Biennale de la Méditerranée in Alexandria, Egypt in 1955, the second Havana Biennial of 1986, New York’s Whitney Biennial in 1993, and the 2002 Documenta11 in Kassel, to the Gwangju Biennale of 2014.
The book explores the evolving curatorial approaches to biennials, including analysis of the roles of sponsors, philanthropists, and biennial directors, and their re-shaping of the contemporary art scene.
Furthermore, it uses the history of biennials as a means of illustrating and inciting further discussions of globalization in contemporary art.

Biennials, Triennials and Documenta is acclaimed as an excellent introduction to the globalisation of biennials, thoroughly covering major events across continents. It has been praised for detailing the breadth of biennial-type exhibitions such as Documenta, Manifesta, and Venice Biennales in Europe; São Paulo and Havana in South America; Johannesburg in Africa; Sydney and Asia-Pacific Triennials in Australia; and Gwangju, Shanghai, and Istanbul in Asia. This work provides a well-rounded survey appreciated by scholars and enthusiasts alike. – H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online, July 2019
