For the past two decades the Sharjah Biennial has enriched the cultural landscape of the Gulf by commissioning, producing and presenting innovative and challenging art experiences while offering an internationally recognised platform for artists from the region. This year, the Sharjah Biennial marks its tenth anniversary with more participating artists than any other year before.
Plot for a Biennial is the title for the 10th Sharjah Biennial, which opens today (16 March 2011). Curated by Suzanne Cotter and Rasha Salti and Associate Curator Haig Aivazian, the Biennial will present new and specially commissioned works by contemporary artists, filmmakers, writers and performers from across the region and internationally.
Developing on the geographic reach and the focus on new production of previous Biennials, Plot for a Biennial merges what have traditionally been parallel formats of exhibition, film and performance into a multivalent sequence of encounters that extend from the Sharjah Art Museum to Sharjah’s historic Heritage Area and sites around the city.
