2nd Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art (Catalogue)
Second Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art: Footnotes about Geopolitics, Markets and Amnesia, curated by Joseph Backstein, Daniel Birnbaum, Nicolas Bourriaud, Fuliya Erdemchi, Gunnar B. Kvaran, Rosa Martinez and Hans Ulrich Obrist
Features Josephine Meckseper and Meredyth Sparks
Unlike the First Moscow Biennale, the international team of curators presented a number of shows produced by individual curators or groups of curators instead of a common collective project. All these projects shared the common theme of FOOTNOTES on Geopolitics, Market, and Amnesia, and presented the works of more than 80 artists. The organizers believed that the structure of the main project, which can be figuratively compared to a book divided into chapters, helped spectators review the issues that will be presented from various points of view.The catalogue of the 2nd Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art consists of three books:
Biennale's Main Project "Footnotes on geopolitics, market and amnesia" (Russian version)
Biennale's Main Project "Footnotes on geopolitics, market and amnesia" (English version)
Biennale's Special Projects (Russian and English versions)
