International Biennial Association Summit
Saturday 11 October / 10.30am – 4.30pm / the Bluecoat / Free
The International Biennial Association Summit brings together international representatives of the IBA with professionals worldwide that organise periodic and Biennial festivals, to collectively explore a range of Biennial models.
In Liverpool we have been developing a model of an international Biennial that is continuous and operates in the city through ongoing strands of research and production, recognising the complex and interrelated networks locally and connecting them to national and international contexts and partners. Against this backdrop, the summit will focus on three key questions: What is necessary (t)here?; How is the Biennial and the identity of the city intertwined?; What models are needed for the future?
Participants include: Yongwoo Lee, Gwangju Biennale; Evelyn Holm, Bergen Assembly; Nevenka Sivavec, Ljubljana Biennial; Alya Sebti, Marrakech Biennale; Alia Swastika, Jogja Biennale; Monica Hoff, curator and researcher; Tan Boon Hui, National Heritage Board, Singapore; RoseLee Goldberg, Performa; Alisa Prudnikova, URAL Biennial and Marieke van Hal, Biennial Foundation.
