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 M?ster in Germany, the Venice Biennale in Italy, Belgrade's Mikser Festival in Serbia and the Istanbul Biennial in Turkey. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWriting 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 \u003ci\u003ework\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolas Whybrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350375209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350375208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Nicolas Whybrow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069638799615,"sku":"9781350375208","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92e84f3a-3842-4712-aa01-87e22d3984ff.jpg?v=1685425721","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-art-biennials-in-europe-nicolas-whybrow-9781350375208","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
