What can an art biennale in Dakar, Senegal, tell us about current
discourses surrounding the place of art in the world, and in the
academic study of anthropology? This volume investigates the
Dak'Art biennale, ranked among the world's top 20 biennials,
drawing upon fieldwork, archival research, and the experiences of
those involved. In so doing, the chapters make a statement about
the impact of globally-acting art biennials, contributing to
current scholarship both on biennales and the anthropology of art
scene more widely. Part I opens with the history of its foundation
and considers it in conjunction with the rise of contemporary art
in Senegal. Part II deals with the biennale's various objectives,
selection strategies, exhibition spaces, platforms for debate, and
discourses between the State, the secretariat and local artists and
art world professionals. Part III examines the cyclical creation of
contemporary African art, and questions if the Biennial creates
local canonical practices. The Epilogue uses the Dak'art biennale
to question assumptions around practice in general biennale
scholarship and work. Featuring a dialogic structure between
practitioners of art and anthropologists, this unique volume will
be of interest to students of anthropology, art history and
practice, African studies and curatorial practice.
