ABOUT PASS
PASS is a program of the International Biennial Association that assembles a growing community of readers from over 135 countries. The editorial platform bears witness to the critical and experimental role of perennial art events such as biennials and triennials around the world. It presents diverse approaches and divergent perspectives on contemporary art biennials as institutions, curatorial endeavours, artistic opportunities, and public projects. It examines the contemporary art biennial as an active, critical, and evolving form that mobilises and sustains relationships between artists, sites, and audience on varied scales and in different contexts. PASS also aims to advance learning, debate, and advocacy while shaping the public profile of biennials.
Join us and inform the conversation on www.passjournal.org and engage with us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and email.
