Biennials as Public Space, Presentation by Hongjohn Lin (Taiwan/Singapore), Associate Professor, Taipei National University of Arts
Description
In 2010, Tirad Zolghadr and Hongjohn Lin cocurated Taipei Biennial (TB10). By exploring what a biennial can do and can be, several structural designs of the exhibitions were done in order to reflect on its origin, size, mood, and instrumentality. Public programmes, echoing with the education turn, were combinations of performances, forums, study groups, and book lunches in the exhibition. Cooperation with alternative art spaces in Taipei were conducted inside and outside of the main venue, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, in order to reach out the public, which was not set as the homogenous and general audience, being the participatory nature. TB10 was a curatorial experiment to turn an exhibition inward in fact, against its grain to dissolve the supposed boundary between art and life. TB10, therefore, was never a mere collection of artworks, but rather a set of social relations to mediate the public space, where the spectators can be active and possibly emancipatory.
