Der vorliegende Band versammelt Gespräche und Interviews von 1991 bis 2011 von und mit Ute Meta Bauer aus mehr als 25 Jahren Praxis als Professorin, Kuratorin und Künstlerin. Entlang der Kapitel „Institutionen“, „Akademie“, „Kuratorische Praxis“ und „Vermitteln“ spiegelt sich Bauers Werdegang von der Künstlerischen Leiterin des Künstlerhauses Stuttgart (1990–1994) bis zur Dekanin der School of Fine Arts am Royal College of Art in London (ab Herbst 2012).
This publication focuses on the practice of curating in Southeast Asia, a region experiencing a time of increased global visibility as well as nation and institution building. How do curators engage with the intricacies of a particular place, and how do they respond to the specificities of the local under the expectations of the international? The diversity of voices in this publication mirrors the complexity of the region itself: its various curatorial spaces, infrastructures, and political systems. What emerges is a highly diverse art system that shifts away from traditional formats to embrace new or alternative platforms--from symposia to fieldwork--with the aim of emphasizing curating as a process of critical thinking that goes beyond presentations and representations
The rise of biennials globally, particularly in Asia, marks a shift from traditional contemporary art centers and signifies a new cultural phenomenon that reshapes our understanding of artistic creation, institutions, localities, and social relations. Biennials serve as platforms for showcasing contemporary art to both art professionals and the general public. The inaugural World Biennial Forum, organized by the Biennial Foundation and hosted by the Gwangju Biennale Foundation in South Korea, explored these emerging centers and diverse practices in large-scale art exhibitions. This publication compiles presentations and discussions from the forum, featuring keynotes by prominent intellectuals addressing themes of democracy, aesthetic representation, and cosmopolitanism, positioning biennials as spaces for political imagination. Case studies focusing on Asia highlight innovative and contextually relevant presentation models in the Asia Pacific region. Contributions reflect on the history of biennials and examine contemporary art's intersections with other disciplines. Featured biennials include the Anyang Public Art Project, Biennale of Sydney, Chobi Mela, Emergency Biennale, Istanbul Biennial, Mediacity Seoul, Shanghai Biennale, Taipei Biennial, Tbilisi Triennial, and Yokohama Triennial.
