In this incisive study, renowned art historian John Clark unpacks the rise of biennials in Asia since the 1990s and depicts how these sprawling exhibitions have challenged and reinforced the forces of globalization. By examining key biennials in Australia, China, Japan, and Singapore, Clark exposes the tensions between national agendas, independent curatorial ambitions, and the neoliberal art economy that transformed once-radical movements into global spectacles. He explores how biennials create networks of artists and curators who simultaneously resist and reproduce the very systems they critique, shaping not just regional art scenes but the broader narrative of contemporary art itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As the euphoria surrounding global contemporary art fades, Clark's deeply researched history offers a crucial reexamination of the structures that have defined Asian art on the world stage. Richly illustrated and rigorously argued, \u003ci\u003e Contemporary Asian Art at Biennials \u003c\/i\u003eis a valuable resource for scholars, curators, and those interested in the shifting dynamics of the art world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9813251751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789813251755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National University of Singapore Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"John Clark","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47243933548799,"sku":"9789813251755","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a744c055-4a6a-4528-a2e2-2b81ef678b80.jpg?v=1758134524","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-asian-art-at-biennials-john-clark-9789813251755","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
