Through its examination of five quite different art events in
cities across Europe, Contemporary Art Biennials in Europe offers a
compelling exploration of how public art takes place in the modern
city. Roughly tracing a central horizontal trajectory from the
western to the eastern edges of the continent, Nicolas Whybrow
considers the Folkestone Triennial in the UK, Sculpture Projects
Munster in Germany, the Venice Biennale in Italy, Belgrade's Mikser
Festival in Serbia and the Istanbul Biennial in Turkey. Writing
within the context of a thirty-year international 'biennial boom',
Whybrow interrogates the extent to which biennial events and their
artworks seek to engage with the socio-cultural and political
complexity of cities, in particular the work that is involved in
this relationship. With its focus on Europe, he also tells a
composite story of continental difference at a moment of high
tension, centering on issues of migration, political populism and
uncertainty around the future form of the European Union.
